Charges against World No. 1 golfer and 2024 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler in relation to his arrest outside the PGA Championship earlier this month have been dropped, ESPN reports.

Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell revealed that prosecutors didn't plan to move forward with the case stemming from Scheffler's May 17 arrest outside Valhalla Golf Club.

Recently unearthed footage showed Scheffler claiming he was "a little bit overaggressive" because "was afraid" while speaking to police at the scene of his arrest outside the PGA Championship tournament earlier this month. The apparent bodycam footage, which was initially shared by Maxwell Mitchell as part of a Facebook live stream on May 23 and reshared by Golf Digest Alex Myers on X Wednesday (May 29), shows Scheffler, 27, expressing fear over his interaction with arresting Louisville Police Officer Det. Bryan Gillis, who attempted to stop him from advancing through traffic outside Valhalla Golf Club on May 17, while talking to another officer at the scene.

Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel revealed that arresting officer Det. Bryan Gillis committed a "policy violation" by not activating his body cam during a press conference last Thursday (May 23) via WDRB News.

“Detective Gillis did have an encounter with Scottie Scheffler. Det. Gillis should have turned on his body cam, but did not… Detective Gillis was counseled by his supervisor,” Gwinn-Villaroel said, adding that "corrective action" was taken against Gillis in relation to the incident.

Gwinn-Villaroel's statement came after Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg had previously confirmed that there was no suspected body cam footage of Scheffler's arrest. The police chief also confirmed that charges against Scheffler were still pending, despite a previous report by No Laying Up editorial director Kevin Van Valkenburg that they were expected to be dropped.

Scheffler's arraignment, which was initially scheduled to be held on May 21, has been delayed until June 3, his attorney, Steve Romines, confirmed to ESPN on May 20. Romines also confirmed a not guilty plea will be entered at the delayed arraignment in Louisville, though Scheffler will not be acquired to attend.

The attorney said a conflict in his schedule was the reason for the date change. Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer (felony), third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic.

A Louisville Police Department arrest report accused the recent two-time Masters champion of refusing "to comply and accelerated forward" while "dragging" a police officer "to the ground" and causing injuries."
