PGA Championship: Will Zalatoris says group of players considered asking for postponement after death, Scottie Scheffler arrest

The surreal Scottie Scheffler situation overshadowing the golf during the second round of the PGA Championship had some of the players wondering if they should've been playing golf at all.

Will Zalatoris, a longtime friend of Scheffler, told reporters after the round Friday that a small group of players discussed not playing following the death of a pedestrian and Scheffler's arrest on a felony charge of assault on a police officer, per The Athletic.

The conversation reportedly lasted around 20 to 30 minutes and saw the players considering the idea of approaching the PGA about a postponement:

“Some of the guys were talking about, wondering if we should even play today,” Zalatoris said.
