Brutal news: Scottie Scheffler announces new girlfriend… details below πππ
After the strangest week of his professional golf career, Friday marked a new beginning for Scottie Scheffler.What happened seven days ago? You probably already know that, or at least the gist of it. Last Friday, Scheffler, a new father and world No. 1 playing unassuming but historically dominant golf, was driving to Valhalla Golf Club when something happened at the wheel of a police officer and Scheffler was arrested. He was taken to downtown Louisville, jailed, charged with several crimes, and then released in time for a tee time at the PGA Championship.
Then he came out and shot 66. Scheffler ultimately finished T8th this week, which was a surprising result given the circumstances, but also his worst finish in six starts. The incident and investigation are ongoing. Take part in the Charles Schwab Challenge this week. I’m always amazed at the players who play in tournaments the week after a major, even if they haven’t experienced a newborn or other legal battles.
Isn’t it okay to have some major emotional disappointment? No one would blame Scheffler for missing the tournament, but the event is being played at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, a legendary PGA Tour base near Scheffler’s home in Dallas.
