Scottie Scheffler slated to play in Texas this week despite newborn baby and arrest chaos... as world No. 1 admits he doesn't know what will happen next in his legal case
Scottie Scheffler is down to play at this week's Charles Schwab Challenge despite a turbulent couple of weeks that saw the birth of his first child and his dramatic arrest at the PGA Championship.
Scheffler was detained on a number of charges - including second-degree assault of a police officer, a felony - in remarkable scenes at Valhalla on Friday.
He was released in time to make his tee time and went on to finish in a tie for eighth in the year's second major.
Scheffler's wife Meredith gave birth to their first child, a son named Bennett, just days before the PGA Championship.
He is nevertheless listed among the field for the Charles Schwab Challenge, which takes place near his home in Dallas this week.

On Tuesday morning, meanwhile, he faces an arraignment in Kentucky after being thrown in a cell over a 'huge misunderstanding' outside Valhalla, when he tried to enter the course and ended up 'dragging a police officer 10 yards' with his car.
'I think it's all up in the air. I'm not really sure what the next days have in store... I think I'm able to get home tonight, but we'll see when I leave here. I haven't really had much chance to assess the situation off the course,' he said after the tournament.
'I signed my card and then came straight over here. So we'll see, but hopefully we'll be able to get home tonight.'
Scheffler was in with a shot of an incredible victory at the PGA Championship after carding a five-under-par second round.
He closed with a fine 65 but still finished eight shots off Xander Schauffele after falling out of contention on Saturday, when he carded five bogeys and a double bogey in a two-over-par 73.
'Yesterday obviously was quite frustrating and a bit of a different day, but overall proud of how I fought this week,' he said. 'I was fortunate to be out here competing, doing what I love.'

But he refused to blame those struggles on his off-field turmoil, adding: 'Did I feel like myself? Absolutely not. Was my warm-up the way it usually is and the distractions were they normally are? Absolutely not. But I'm not going to sit here and say that's why I went out and played a bad round of golf yesterday.
Scheffler was given a raucous reception by the crowd in Kentucky, with some fans chanting 'Free Scottie'.
'I think when you're out there inside the ropes, I don't really hear too much of it. It's nice to hear your name. I heard a lot of "Scottie" chants. I didn't hear too many of the "free Scottie" chants,' he said.
'It's great to have the support of the fans. Being able to play out here in front of them week in, week out is one of the greatest joys of my life for sure.
'So being able to do that this week and play another major championship, it was fun. Obviously the results weren't what I was hoping for at the beginning of the week, but overall I'm proud of how I fought this week.'
