All police charges against Scottie Scheffler dropped after arrest at US PGA

All criminal charges against Scottie Scheffler have been dismissed to bring to an end an extraordinary fortnight for the world number one.

Scheffler’s bid to win the US PGA Championship earlier this month was thrown into chaos on May 17 when he was arrested ahead of his second round after he tried to drive into Valhalla Golf Club in heavy traffic, which had been caused by an unrelated accident in which a male pedestrian died.

Masters champion Scheffler briefly spent time in jail before returning to the course to play his second round and had faced charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.

"Mr Scheffler's actions do not satisfy the elements of any criminal offences"
