With the news this morning that World Number 1 Scottie Scheffler was handcuffed by police at Valhalla following a traffic violation, bookmakers have quickly altered their US PGA Championship betting odds.
Having been as short as 3/1 this morning, Scheffler is now a top-price 9/2 with bet365 after finishing the first round on 4-under par, five shots behind leader Xander Schauffele.
Schauffele hit a major record-equalling 62 in Kentucky to set the pace in the first round of the US PGA Championship and he’s now been trimmed to 15/8 with Paddy Power.
Clearly, after a tumultuous morning, there will be doubts about Scheffler’s state of mind as he looks to add to his Masters title at Augusta.
