Jefferson County prosecutors are expected to drop the charges against No. 1-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler that stemmed from his arrest Friday morning while trying to enter Valhalla Golf Club, according to No Laying Up.
Scheffler, who will play his final round Sunday at the PGA Championship in Louisville and sits eight shots back of the lead, has an arraignment scheduled for Tuesday.
His quest for another major title took a bizarre turn early Friday morning, when Scheffler was arrested and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officer directing traffic.

He was released from jail later that morning and still golfed.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg told reporters Saturday that there wasn’t any body-cam footage of the incident.
Scheffler shot a 5-under 66 on Friday after his arrest, putting him among the leaders at 9-under through the first two rounds.
However, the 27-year-old, who just recently became a father, shot a 2-over 73 on Saturday in the third round and finds himself eight shots back of leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele entering Sunday’s final round.
Scheffler, who won his second Masters in three years last month, is scheduled to tee off at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday.
