The cops are all wearing raincoats, just like event security. It was dark, blue lights flashing. It's not impossible that he didn't know it was an officer, like he has said.

I wonder how much this latest embarrassment by LMP will cost KY taxpayers?!?
Which means he'll probably shoot about a 68. Dude is just a machine.
3 cars from the entrance following others cars being told to do that sounds like the cop 100% escalated the situation by jumping on his car. Guarantee this gets dropped
Then you don’t know Scotty Scheffler. He’s a good Christian man that abides with the law. The ESPN reporter SAW what happened. Scotty told the police he didn’t realize he was a cop. He was in a marked car and the reporter said the police were allowing the golfers in. The officer made a mistake and will/should face severe penalties.
They said he's at the course and will tee off on time. NOTHING stops a man that wants to make his tee time, lol.He's in the clink as we speak. Hopefully he posts bail and gets out in time to tee off today. Hopefully the rain is a blessing in disguise and will delay the start even more. They better not make him withdraw after this.
Also, according to a WDRB article he was told by one cop to go on but the other told him to stop.
Yep. He literally told the officer, on the scene, he didn't know he was a police officer.
If I had to place a wager, this is where I would put my money.
There is a media member who was right behind the car. He is, and has been on ESPN+ all morning . No reason to guess. The actual witness is saying that the officer was screaming and cursing. The media member had to give them Schefflers name, because he didn't do the ole "do you know who I am". The only thing Scheffler said was " I didn't know you were a police officer".
And other players took the same route and got through.
Fair enough, Im at work and not privy to all of the minute-by-minute updates. As I stated in my other post, that's why there is due process and the court system to figure these things out. Kudos to him for not playing that card.
They pulled a fast one and delayed the event to allow him to tee off "on time". Not because of weather, but I guess "traffic?
This is where mu ESPN+ subscription pays for itself. That and UK baseball, etc. Can't wait to see him tee off at 10EST.

He is one of if not the most grounded athletes on the planet. This is why it's kind of funny to me because this is easily the worst thing he's ever done.
They didn't delay the event just moved his tee time. There are guys who have already completed 4 holes.
Yes, but it was supposed to start an hour earlier. Who knows,. The ESPN reporter at the course said they delayed the event. I guess he's clueless even though he's there??
He and his wife hold Bible Studies for other players at events. Not exactly a scofflaw.
I was going off of the very early information given this morning before I got to work. Obviously, new information has come to light. We'll see how it is handled from here on out through the appropriate legal channels and due process.
The Lord is testing him. I may have to mortage the house. What are the current odds of him winning ? lol
My bad I thought they had just moved his time to allow him to get back.
Not trying to bust your chops but more so that it is a lesson for us all to not jump to conclusions or assumptions about a person or situation without knowing all the facts.
It was delayed because of the fatal accident. All traffic was stopped around the course. They just said that players were leaving their cars on the side of the road and walking in. No special privilege was given.
He's won 4 of his last 5 events. It'll be interesting to see how this effects his game.
It's kind of sad that the media focus is on Scheffler getting arrested and lost in the shuffle is a man lost his life and nobody even cares about that.
There’s a reason the LMPD was under investigation by the DOJ for two years. Absolute buffoons.
COPS make mistakes, but nearly 100 percent of the time I’ll side with them..
I listened to the ESPN guy in the car behind Scottie and it sounds like the cop was totally the aggressor and escalated the situation and did it quickly.
I’ve said it before, people trash Louisville because they’re too stupid to separate UL from the city. What problems does Louisville have that Lexington and every other city doesn’t have? The ineptitude is dumb people making judgements before they have all the info, all you needed to hear was “Louisville”.
