Did the PGA Championship's success overshadow the Scottie Scheffler arrest drama? What's your take?

The PGA of America sure knows how to maintain its status. Remember how PGA Tour Pro, and the world apex golfer, Scottie Scheffler was arrested before round 2 of the 2024 PGA Championship because he was charged with a felony due to a second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, and reckless driving? Now those charges are dropped, and Scheffler’s image is clear. Now its PGA Championship’s turn to clean itself up nicely, and it is doing it pretty decently. 

In a recent X post by Sports Business Journal’s Assistant Managing Editor Josh Carpenter, the fans got to know something absolutely thrilling. The PGA of America has announced that weekly tickets for the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow have sold out. However, there is still a limited inventory of daily tickets available for purchase. The post’s caption read, The PGA of America says weekly tickets for the PGA Championship next year at Quail Hollow have sold out.”

But how did the incident take place that led to Scheffler’s arrest? Well, it was basically a “huge misunderstanding.” Scheffler was driving towards the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club, making the on-scene officer attach himself to the side of his car. After some time, Scheffler finally stopped his car, and he rolled down his window to speak with the officer. And we all know how that went. The officer then grabbed the golfer’s arm to remove him from the vehicle.

However, all worked out just fine when Scheffler was released from the Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections and arrived at Valhalla less than an hour before his scheduled tee time. Despite all the ruckus going on at that time, the golfer managed to finish at a decent score of 13 and par and ended the game in the T8 position. Everything worked out for the golfer, and now for the PGA of America as well.
