Nike Reminds Everyone About Scottie Scheffler's 2024 Arrest as He Celebrates Winning PGA Championship
Nike poked fun at Scottie Scheffler's 2024 arrest after he won the 2025 PGA Championship on May 18 The brand joked that Scheffler is "guilty" of being the "best player in the world" Charges against Scheffler were ultimately dropped after he was arrested before competing in the 2024 PGA Championship Nike and Scottie Scheffler are laughing about his 2024 arrest, one year and one massive trophy later. After Scheffler, 28, won the 2025 PGA Championship on Sunday, May 18, Nike's official social media accounts celebrated his victory by reminding fans about the golfer's unexpected arrest at the tournament just one year before. Advertisement Over a photo of Scheffler taking a swing at the Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina, Nike wrote, "Best player in the world? Guilty." "The verdict is in," the brand wrote in the caption, poking fun at his arrest at the 2024 PGA Championship. The caption of the post, also shared on Scheffler's account, concluded, "World No. 1 @ is the PGA Champion." Fans loved the reference and quickly took the comment section to applaud the creative choice. "Whoever thought of this needs a raise," one comment with 208 likes said. Another said, "Had this waiting in the vault for a whole year! Perfection @nike." On Monday, May 19, Scheffler shared photos from his victory at the PGA Championship, writing, "This week was unforgettable! All glory to God. #pgachampionship." Advertisement Scheffler was arrested on the morning of May 17, 2024 as he was arriving at the course's entrance, which had been taken over by a police scene after a man was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus as he attempted to cross the street about an hour earlier. Scheffler reportedly tried to drive around the the crash by way of the median, and continued to drive despite a police officer instructing him to stop. When he finally did stop the car, he was pulled out of the vehicle and placed in handcuffs. Soon after the tournament ended, in which Scheffler finished tied for 8th place, the city announced that there were errors in the police department's handling of the case, and charges were ultimately dropped. "Based on the totality of evidence, my office cannot move forward in the prosecution of the charges filed against Mr. Scheffler," Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell said on May 29, 2024. Scheffler, who had welcomed son Bennett with his wife Meredith just days earlier on May 8, had been facing a felony charge of second-degree assault of a police officer, as well as multiple misdemeanor charges including third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.

PGA defending champion Xander Schauffele is still flying under the radar
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Xander Schauffele might be the most under-the-radar player in golf history who won two major championships the previous year — the PGA Championship and British Open. Schauffele, despite being the PGA defending champion this week at Quail Hollow, isn't even within the top few players on most people's 'favorites'' list to win. Advertisement Part of the reason for that is his slow start to this season due to an oblique injury that delayed his start. Still, Schauffele holds the memories of his 2024 PGA Championship victory at Valhalla close to him. 'When you're in a position to win, you don't really hang your hat on anything that can kind of bring you down,'' Schauffele recalled of closing out his first major a year ago this week. 'You're just on a mission. You're on a mission to do one thing, and that's to win. It's sort of a whatever-it-takes mentality, and you're not sitting there nitpicking yourself on the small things, or if you mishit it or you miss your line by a little bit, or things of that nature. Xander Schauffele celebrates after winning the 2024 PGA Championship. He went on to win the Open Championship later in the year. AP 'It's been a process for me to get back to that point where I'm OK with hitting bad shots or hitting it out of place, and just making the best of it and sort of moving along and allowing myself to get a good nine-hole stretch in and go low. Advertisement 'That's been a process coming back, and thinking back to the 72nd hole [at Valhalla], I was just in a good state of mind. All I was trying to do was win that tournament. If I had to hit a shot lefty on the last hole, I wasn't going to be rattled.'' Schauffele recalled how special the scene was on the final hole last year as he finally crossed the line. Xander Schauffele hits a drive on the ninth hole at the PGA Championship during a practice round on May 13, 2025. AP 'I had a few buddies fly down from New York, my friend and his girlfriend and Chris [Como], my sort of freshly new swing coach at the time then. My wife was there, my uncle was there, my brother. It was cool to see everyone sort of huddled up. It was nice to be able to share that sort of emotion with everyone that's close to me.'' Advertisement Schauffele will tee it up in the first round grouped with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and newly minted Masters champion Rory McIlroy, teeing off at 8:22 a.m. Thursday. And, despite being the defending champion and No. 3 in the world rankings, he'll be the underdog in that three-ball.

'Just getting as many reps in as I can. It's already been off to an interesting week with the [stormy] weather. It's definitely one of the hurdles everyone's going to have to overcome this week.'' One hurdle he doesn't have to overcome anymore is being asked about his array of close calls in majors without winning one. Advertisement 'I don't get asked that question anymore,'' he said. 'It was going to be that conversation if I didn't win one ever, it would have been that conversation that would have haunted me until I was done playing, probably. That's just how the game goes. 'Luckily, I was able to rattle that one off, my first one at Valhalla, the PGA, which was awesome. I feel like I've done it before, but at the same time, I feel I'm still trying to prove myself as well.''

Scottie Scheffler Turns Heads With Outfit at PGA Championship After Viral Arrest
A year ago, Scottie Scheffler's life changed. It wasn't because of a major championship or another victory on the PGA Tour, but an event that the world No. 1 golfer probably never expected would happen. At the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, Scheffler was arrested and put in a jail cell leading up to the second round of the tournament. Advertisement Scheffler had been charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer after moving his car forward during a heated incident. All charges have since been dropped, but it is still a moment that will live on in the golfing world, and in Scheffler's memory, for a long time. On Wednesday, the final day before the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Scheffler made a choice with his outfit that calls back to that fateful day a year ago. For his final day of prep, Scheffler showed up in a burnt orange polo shirt, likely giving a nod to the viral photo of him in an orange police jumpsuit that made waves a year ago. Whether or not Scheffler was actually calling back to his mugshot with the outfit choice is currently unknown, but he certainly made some waves on social media once the photo hit social media. Advertisement "Scottie by 5 strokes this week," one fan said. "Well played played," another added. "This is so good," one fan added. Of course, Scheffler could also be paying homage to his his alma mater Texas Longhorns with the burnt orange coloring, but the fact that he would wear in at the PGA Championship definitely causes some speculation. Let's just hope that he doesn't end up in orange any other times this week. Related: Rory McIlroy's Strong Comments Against Bryson DeChambeau Surface Before PGA Championship
