There have been two PGA Tour events since the now-infamous PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club, which saw world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler in an orange jumpsuit after being arrested outside the course before his second round. 

But it wasn’t until last week that Louisville Metro Police agreed to drop all charges against Scheffler, who has been consistent in saying the situation was a "big misunderstanding."

Scheffler spoke with reporters for the first time since the charges were dropped at Muirfield Village Golf Club ahead of the Memorial Tournament this week, and he feels now is the "more appropriate" time to speak on it.

"It was definitely a bit of a relief, but not total relief because that's something that will always kind of stick with me. That mug shot, I'm sure is not going anywhere anytime soon."

PGA Championship victor Xander Schauffele admitted that his group chat, which involves Scheffler and other golfers, tried to make light of the situation, especially with the mugshot becoming the group chat’s new photo.
