Scottie Scheffler’s arraignment on charges stemming from a traffic incident outside Valhalla Golf Club has been delayed from Tuesday until June 3, according to Scheffler’s attorney.

The incident occurred early Friday morning, when traffic was stopped outside Valhalla due to a fatal accident that occurred around 5 a.m. Players were allowed to enter the course, and Scheffler arrived at Valhalla around 6 a.m. to prepare for his 8:48 a.m. tee time.
