The World No.1 golfer was charged with injuring a police officer and disobeying commands outside the gates of Valhalla Golf Club as the venue hosted this year's PGA Championship.

Scheffler, who was handcuffed and briefly jailed on Friday, had been due in court Tuesday, two days after finishing in the top-10 at the PGA. But a judge postponed the court date until June 3 over the objection of Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell.

Scheffler was arrested in the pre-dawn hours on Friday, shortly after arriving at the golf course, and charged with felony assault of a police officer. He also was charged with third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic. Louisville police said an officer was "dragged to the ground" by a vehicle driven by Scheffler, who was trying to bypass a backup caused by the fatal accident earlier that morning.

Officers at the scene were investigating a tournament volunteer's death after he was hit by a bus outside the golf course when Scheffler arrived.

Scheffler's attorney, Steve Romines, has said the case is a misunderstanding and the golfer never disobeyed any officer's orders.

He was driving a PGA courtesy car when an officer said he "refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging" the officer to the ground, according to an arrest report. Video at the scene showed Scheffler in handcuffs.

Louisville police confirmed on Saturday night that the body camera of officer Bryan Gillis was not in operation during the incident.

Scheffler got out of jail and to the course in time to play the second round and shot a 66. He fell out of contention for the tournament with a 73 on Saturday — his first round over par since last August. He closed with a 65, tying for eighth place.
