Scottie Scheffler is going to be a punchline for some time.
Plenty are having fun with the world’s No. 1 golfer being arrested in a stunning scene before the PGA Championship last Friday, including star 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, who jabbed Scheffler while praising QB Brock Purdy.
“I think he’s definitely getting a little bit more vocal in the building,” Bosa said of Purdy, who is entering his third year in San Francisco. “I don’t think he’s ever going to change, I don’t think he’s somebody that is going to change even when he gets paid next year. He’s a man of faith and he kind of reminds me of Scottie Scheffler, except for … he didn’t get arrested. Just super humble and really good kid and, yeah, he’s definitely famous.”
Scheffler, 27, was detained outside of Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., in the early hours of May 17 due to a misunderstanding about traffic flow in the wake of a fatal accident involving a shuttle bus near the course.
He was booked and processed into metro corrections on four charges of felony second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officer directing traffic.
