The world's No. 1 professional golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested this morning by Louisville, Kentucky police outside of the Valhalla Golf Course hosting the 2024 PGA Championship. In turn, Scottie Scheffler memes are all over social media today.

As reported by ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Scheffler was detained early Friday morning after driving past police cars blockading the tournament. Scheffler reportedly drove over the sidewalk to get by what he believed were security vehicles. An officer reportedly held onto Scheffler's vehicle and was dragged for a few yards.

Scheffler was then aggressively handcuffed and put into a cruiser car. All this happened on the day after his first child was born.
