Scheffler's arraignment was originally set for Tuesday. He faces four charges from a traffic incident last Friday morning.
Scottie Scheffler’s arraignment, scheduled for Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Louisville, has been postponed, according to his attorney.
Steve Romines said in a text message to Sports Illustrated that the golfer’s arraignment has been rescheduled for June 3. No other details were available. Scheffler, the No. 1 golfer in the world, faces four charges – three driving-related misdemeanors and second-degree assault of a police officer, a felony. Romines had previously said that the golfer would be pleading “not guilty’’ to the charges.after Scheffler was attempting to enter the Valhalla Golf Club course amid a chaotic scene on the road leading to the course, where a pedestrian earlier had been killed when hit by a shuttle bus.
That shut down traffic in each direction, and Scheffler later said he was unaware of what had occurred when he arrived around 6 a.m. for his scheduled 8:48 a.m. tee time. He later called it a “misunderstanding’’ as a police officer had directed him to stop. A few moments later the officer handcuffed him and arrested Scheffler, resulting in a brief jail stint before he returned to Valhalla Golf Club in time for his rain-delayed tee time.
Scheffler said Sunday he was unsure how things would unfold this week. He is scheduled to play in the PGA Tour event at Colonial, which begins on Thursday.Bob Harig is a golf writer for SI.com and the author of the book "DRIVE: The Lasting Legacy of Tiger Woods," which publishes in March and can be ordered here.
