No.1 Scheffler says arrest lingers despite dropped charges

DUBLIN, OHIO - JUNE 08: Scottie Scheffler of the United States plays his shot on the first hole during the third round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday at Muirfield Village Golf Club on June 08, 2024 in Dublin, Ohio.PINEHURST, United States -- Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler says he is just starting to move past his arrest on driving-related charges at last month's PGA Championship and the incident will stay with him throughout his career.

"It was definitely a bit of a relief, but not total relief because that's something that will always kind of stick with me. That mug shot, I'm sure, is not going anywhere anytime soon." All charges against Scheffler were dropped on May 29, prosecutors saying evidence supported his claim it was "a big misunderstanding.""All of us carry a lot more stuff off the golf course with us than we let on," he said. "Competing out here inside the ropes is a great joy but life outside the ropes can be challenging.

His season has been memorable with victories at Bay Hill, the Players, the Masters and Heritage plus runner-up efforts at Houston and Colonial. "I'm always prepared to go out and play. I was prepared to go play in Louisville, even after I got arrested," he said. "If I'm showing up at a tournament, it's not some sort of ceremonial deal. I'm here to play.""The support I got from everybody that knows me was extremely in my favor," he said. "Friends will joke about it, but that's because they're my friends.
