Following a fatal accident outside Valhalla earlier in the morning, Scheffler reportedly tried to pull his vehicle around what he believed to be security staff. It was in fact cops, who told him to stop. 

When he didn't, ESPN claims one officer even tried to attach himself to Scheffler's car as he drove another 10 yards before stopping.

The officer in question is then said to have grabbed at his car, attempting to pull him out before he opened the door. The golf star was eventually dragged out of the vehicle, pushed up against it and placed in handcuffs.

Remarkable footage which has gone viral on social media shows Scheffler being led into the police car after the misunderstanding on Friday morning.

As he was led away, ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington - who filmed the incident - attempted to get the attention of officers. He was warned: 'Back up or you're going to jail also!'

'Right now, he's going to jail,' another officer said. 'He's going to jail and there's nothing you can do about it. Period.'

'Can you please help me?' a panicked Scheffler could be heard asking a nearby reporter in the stunning clip. 

It's claimed the officers had no idea who Scheffler was, as Darlington claimed: 'One police officer came up to me with his pad and said - pen in hand - "Can you tell me the name of the person we've just arrested?"'

Scheffler was due to tee off for his second round at 8:48 ET before his astonishing arrest

The incident occurred after the second round of the PGA Championship was delayed Friday due to a fatal accident near the club.

A pedestrian was hit and killed by a shuttle bus outside the golf course. Scheffler was not involved in the accident but he was caught in a massive traffic backup around Valhalla.

ESPN claims an unidentified man was attempting to cross Shelbyville Road at roughly 5am when he was struck in a dedicated lane for buses, before he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Scheffler was due to tee off for his second round at 8:48 ET alongside Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman. That has now been pushed back to 10.08 after he arrived back at Valhalla at around 9:15am ET following his release.
