Scottie Scheffler's Arrest at 2024 PGA Championship Explored in Netflix's 'Full Swing'

The new season of the documentary series reveals unseen footage and reactions to Scheffler's shocking arrest before his second-round tee time.

Scheffler was arrested in May 2024 while driving to Valhalla Golf Club for the PGA Championship, following a misunderstanding during a traffic stop near the course.
The arrest stemmed from police confusion after a fatal accident near the club, leading to Scheffler being charged with reckless driving, assault of an officer, and other offenses, all of which were later dropped.
Netflix's 'Full Swing' Season 3 includes new bodycam footage showing Scheffler maintaining his humor during the ordeal, joking about only using mouthwash before an early tee time.
The incident shocked the golf community, with fellow players like Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas initially believing the news was fake.
Despite the arrest, Scheffler managed to shoot a 66 that same day and finished tied for eighth in the tournament, which was ultimately won by Xander Schauffele.
