    First Take didn’t even know the PGA championship was on
  • @FallacyUnknown
    Jeff Darlington was like a first amendment auditor recording the police lol
  • @dalebaxter5920
    The officer attached himself to the car. Probably not his smartest move of the day. I thought Barney Fife lived in Mayberry.
  • @garyglen96
    If I was PGA I wouldn't even come back to Valhalla
  • They arrested him for a reason. Those officers were pissed. It seems like Scottie got ahead of himself with his entitlement and it blew up in his face.
  • Brilliant journalism, chase the cops with your phone. “Guys. Guys. Guys. Guys. Dude.”
  • Crazy how 10 yards from a previous interview suddenly turned into 15 yards in this recent one lol
  • @curtispilot126
    Really guys...Smh....When a Policeman tells you to stop you stop end of story.
  • the police officers treated him as they would’ve treated anyone, that’s it that’s all.
  • @caseyking0917
    From what I heard earlier there’s only one way in and one way out of Valhalla. I can hardly believe this knowing the size of the anticipated crowds. Usually there’s a separate entrance for media and the golfers.
  • Somebody's getting terminated and this is very bad for the image of the hosting club and state law enforcement
  • @Agent77X
    The PGA probably called the governor to get Scottie Scheffler release ASAP!😮
  • @garyglen96
    We live in Louisville this place is horrible
  • @phorne02
    All he had to do was comply! That’s it! I’ve been taught to comply with law enforcement whether they are in the right or wrong! He didn’t and now he has to deal with the consequences for his actions!

    Some policemen are saints. Some are scumbags. This policeman doesn't have the correct temperament or discernment for his job and should be fired or reassigned to serve in another role. Congratulations to Scheffler for behaving in an exemplary fashion.
  • This is bizarre to me. It does sound like there was a misunderstanding here. Directions officers give in situations like this arent always clear
  • Him getting charged with a felony for what occurred lets you know what kind of cop this is.
