Recently, @NUCLRGOLF shared a video on X. It’s an interview between an LMPD officer and the 2024 Masters champion. Scheffler started with, “First of all I didn’t know it was a police officer, I thought it was a security guard that was mistaken” While the golfer was continuing the officer interrupted and posed a question “Why does it matter if it is a police officer or a security guard as someone who is telling you to stop” 

In response, the golfer said, “Yes you are right I should have stopped I did get a little bit impatient because I was quite late for my tee time.” As the interview continued, Scheffler also explained how the officer was getting aggressive and revealed: “I was afraid and I didn’t know who he was, he didn’t say police get out of the car, he just hit me with his flashlight, and yelled get out of the car.

In response to this, the officer said, “No matter if he is a police officer or not, if somebody tells you to stop even if it a security guard, anybody that made you stop at that time you don’t keep going so stuff like this doesn’t happen, because you actually hurt him and he is a police officer he’s got a huge skype on his knee and he’s gonna checked by EMS I don’t know, but for you right now if you are going to jail its upt0 him I don’t know” 

According to the police officer, the evidence points against the golfer. However, after the video went viral, fans had different thoughts.

What do fans have to say about Scottie Scheffler?

One fan boldly labeled the Louisville police as corrupt, commenting, “That whole Louisville police department is corrupt,” highlighting the officer’s attempt to forcefully pursue charges against the golfer while one fan said, “No matter if he is a police officer or not, if somebody tells you to stop even if it a security guard.”

The fan’s comment, “Cops will always back cops no matter how awful they are,” underscores the interviewing officer’s repeated return to the golfer’s failure to stop, despite Scheffler’s attempts to raise concerns about the officer’s aggressiveness. The officer seemed more intent on defending his fellow officer than considering other relevant factors.

One fan made another sarcastic remark, commenting, “So…If I’m in Louisville wearing yellow I can tell people to do whatever I want. Got it,” emphasizing that the officer, who was wearing yellow, was not necessarily identifiable as a police officer because of the low sunlight in the early morning.

Another fan remarked, “Scottie is so respectful. Don’t think I would’ve been able to restrain myself like that,” underscoring the golfer’s remarkable composure despite being struck by the police officer. Even during the interview, when the officer attempted to press charges against him, Scheffler remained respectful and answered all questions, despite the interviewing officer’s apparent disregard for his perspective.

As for this fan, they said ridiculous attitude and interrogation techniques by the police it’s almost like they’re conducting a little mini-trial. “ Emphasizing the situation, rather than conducting a thorough interview to understand the sequence of events, the officer attempted to press charges and conduct what seemed like a “mini-trial.” While expressing this sentiment, the fan added further ” scott’s explanation seem cogent. I expect the dismissal later today.” Highlighting this fact, the golfer’s explanation appears reasonable, considering all the circumstances.

With this revelation, anything could unfold, given that the evidence seems to lean somewhat against the golfer. What do you think will happen?
