Overview

The Scottie Scheffler Arrest refers to the detainment of American professional golfer Scottie Scheffler who was arrested by police at the 2024 PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. Scottie Scheffler memes trended en masse after the event on Twitter / X and elsewhere, mostly because it was unclear why Scheffler was detained in full. Reports said that Scheffler was put in handcuffs after bypassing a police barricade. He was booked on four charges including assault of a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic. Officers were unaware that he was in the tournament and considered to be the No. 1 golfer in the world. Scheffler's mugshot also trended in memes posted on the day.
