Louisville police will investigate if policies were correctly followed in the arrest of world number one Scottie Scheffler at the US PGA Championship.

The 27-year-old was detained on Friday, 17 May after trying to drive into Valhalla Golf Club in heavy traffic and has seen his arraignment date rescheduled to Monday, 3 June.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer, all of which he denies.

It has subsequently emerged arresting officer Bryan Gillis had failed to activate his bodycam video before Scheffler was stopped, handcuffed and arrested, despite it being standard operating procedure.

In a statement, Louisville’s chief of police Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel, said: “The internal investigation is still ongoing.

“Any policy violations that are revealed through the course of the investigation will be appropriately addressed according to protocol. The department intends to provide an additional update on the investigation on Thursday, 23 May.”

In his weekly news conference Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg added that “action will be taken” if policies were not being followed.
