My SWAG on the Scheffler incident: [View all]

It's entirely possible that he was NOT in an official courtesy car. ((When they used to have PGA tournaments in this area, one could see the "official car of the X tournament" or similar on the sides of the courtesy cars.))

Potential outcomes:

1. An announcement that the officer involved will undergo training, and charges will be dropped ((out of fear that tournaments will stay away from Louisville??)):

2. Scheffler will be told to "stay home with the baby" until the US Open (or more publicly suspended). ((If they threw the book at people who took stuff that the TOUR considers performance-enhancing drugs, I don't think they can ignore this.))
