The PGA needs to step up and apologize. If you have a tournament and someone gets run over and you fail to alert players and customers (your customers!), this is on YOU.

Y’all- I have cut Scottie’s hair since he was 10 years old. AND EVERYTHING Scottie presents about himself, is 100% real. It is not an act - the down-to-earth, regular guy you see in interviews, that's genuinely who he is. He doesn't need or really want any special treatment nor does he want those special favors. He's just a decent guy. For real. He’s like the friendly neighbor who's always willing to lend a hand when you need it. He's always thinking about other people, never expects anything in return. Polite, sincere, and quick with a kind word. If you were in a tough spot, Scottie would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. That's just how he is. Scottie’s dad Scott , is the same way. When they went to Scotties golf tournaments as a kid, instead of getting hotel rooms, they'd just sleep in the car and pack some sandwiches. Probably a nice father-son bonding thing, but I got the message that Scott was trying to show Scottie to live with the simple things in life. I can honestly vouch that his appreciation for his fans is 100% real. Scottie is just a caring, kind-hearted, compassionate young man. Words can't fully describe what a solid character he really has. Scottie is such a stand-up guy. He’s the best. I was reading all these wonderful comments about Scottie and I was thinking, can such a guy really exist??!!! So I’m just saying that yes! It’s true and his name is Scottie Scheffler. ❤😊

I once was directed by the Police during a traffic accident. The officer waved me through, then screamed at me to pull over and then gave me a ticket. The ticket was dismissed in court.
This young man's class and composure are amazing.
Two dark nights ago I came upon a wreck on a two lane road where officers were on the scene. As I approached, I had already seen several cars in my lane pass by the wreck. I was driving very slowly and prepared to stop, but only saw an official on the side of the road by my lane, so I moved slowly toward the center to go around him. Suddenly, he stepped out in front of me with his hand up. I was able to stop easily, because I'd been driving slowly, but the officer clearly didn't know how to use his light direct traffic, and I couldn't see his hand up in the darkness until he stepped in front of me. He didn't yell at me or do anything, but I wondered how easily it could have been misinterpreted or escalated when I was trying my hardest to do the right thing.
I really admire his mental strength and mindset !!

While driving on the wrong side of the road he dragged a police officer causing the officer to be injured. Clearly Mr Scheffler was using his driver against the officer as his putter would have inflicted minimal injuries. His Caddy was reported saying "it's 180 yards to the next police officer. I wood (sic) suggest you take a 7 iron to hit your target" or a Toyota Prius.
Probably the most courteous potential felon on the planet.
It takes a special kind of human to be able to go out and shoot 5 under par after what happened to him. There are a lot of golfers out there that have the same abilities as golfers like Scheffler, but there are not that many that have the mind control of these guys on the PGA tour. In a lot of cases, that is what sets these guys apart from other golfers like them.
Thank you for being candid for your fans Scottie. Just unreal you played golf today and stayed in contention in a big way.

Pullling for you man, go win it all this weekend !
Looking forward to seeing the police body cam video on Lackluster soon.
He should do an "American Express" do you know me commercial. It would be a good way to make light of the unfortunate situation. Both sides could get a good laugh. Laughter is a great way to relieve the tension. The one question I wished someone would have asked would be "are you going to drive to course tomorrow"?
Now I really want Scottie to win.
Absolute beast
There were two agencies directing traffic, One letting all PGA personnel through and One only focused on the accident. Who is at fault? They are both at fault for not communicating with each other. Scottie will get a slap on the wrist and the Cop that manhandled Scottie will stay on night shift for ever.
Acted with class once he realized he was in trouble. Did not resist and followed instruction. Glad you made it back out there.
So class that he still thanks the Police and didn’t name drop.
