Scottie Scheffler’s arraignment following his arrest prior to the second round of the PGA Championship has been pushed from Tuesday to June 3. 

Steve Romines, Scheffler’s attorney, told ESPN that his client will be pleading not guilty to the multiple charges that stemmed from what the golfer called a "big misunderstanding" while trying to enter Valhalla Golf Club prior to his round. 

A conflict in Romines’ schedule is the reason behind the delay, though Scheffler was never attending the arraignment in Louisville to begin with.

It was quite the chaotic week at the season’s second major, as Scheffler was arrested outside Valhalla early Friday morning for not following police orders. A 69-year-old man, John Mills, was pronounced dead at the scene of police activity after being struck by a shuttle bus. Mills was working as a vendor at Valhalla for the tournament.

Scheffler was trying to get into the golf course when the incident occurred, and Detective Bryan Gillis allegedly tried to stop him from proceeding. The officer says Scheffler accelerated his SUV, and he attached himself to it, which led to him being dragged and causing injuries.
