Montreal has always been my dream place, ever since I was a kid I kept few wallpapers of montreal and always wished to visit. Well, flash forward to present—after googling, I landed on this site, at start I was little picky about the price and stuff but now I totally understand why this tour is absolutely the best, everything was executed perfectly on time. Thank You. This is a nice tour if you are with your S/O [to be frankly] as a single girl, I boarded this tour alone and somehow regret it. Anyhow, the basilica was nice and the old Quebec city was gorgeous. I really hope if you guys make more affordable tours like this one.

Bus New York to Montreal: Trip Overview

Compare bus companies.

The service is highly praised for its friendly and helpful staff, fast travel time, and overall comfort. However, some passengers mentioned delays at the border due to foreign travelers from France. Additionally, there were suggestions to reduce time spent at rest stops for a smoother journey experience. The bus itself was comfortable with positive feedback on the driver's performance but mixed reviews regarding their attitude towards passengers.

Adirondack Trailways New York Montreal recent customer reviews

For a long time, this trip was very good, had a mechanical problem change of bus but got back on schedule, driver wad very good a lady drivers

Customers had a positive experience with the New York City-Montreal Greyhound service, mentioning skilled drivers who prioritize safety and comfort. Some minor issues were reported, such as longer travel times than expected and slightly tight seats. Overall, customers found the buses to be clean with no major complaints.

Greyhound New York Montreal recent customer reviews

I had a great experience for the first time besides the seat was a little bit tight.

I didn't enjoy their service because departure was 21/2 hours late. Customers service were very rude

The staff questioned my visa and refused to let me and my friend get on the bus initially, which my visa was totally OKAY to enter Montrel. We booked the tickets and PAID the tickets 2 months before departure but we ended up getting on the bus after those people who didn't not book the tickets at all. The staff didn't appologize for their rude behavior which I just didn't care anymore, but seriously please educate your employees. Be nice to foreigners!! Over all the experience was terrible. We would not recommend your service to anyone.

The majority of reviews praise the service for being on time with competent and friendly drivers. Some passengers also appreciate the smooth travel experience without delays. However, a few customers mentioned issues such as beeping sounds throughout the trip, non-functional plugs, and cold temperatures inside the bus. Overall, FlixBus management received thanks for providing a nice service experience.

FlixBus New York Montreal recent customer reviews

The travel duration was perfect. There was no delay. Had a smooth travel experience.

bus was cancelled last minute with no warning. all alternatives were inconvenient and 10 hours longing

FlixBus services was very nice, overall my journey was good. Thanks for FlixBus Management.

Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the service, specifically mentioning delays and waiting outside in the cold for over 30 minutes. However, some customers appreciate helpful staff at Port Authority and access to wifi during the trip. Suggestions were made to improve bus seats by adding tables for laptops.

The staff at Port Authority was helpful to me, I also liked having access to wifi during the trip, I had to prepare some work activities and the connection worked pretty well. I would suggest the bus sits should have tables to support the laptop.

I was pleasantly surprised by my bus trip to Montreal after the Amtrak trains had stopped running due to Covid. The driver from Albany to Montreal was really nice and quite professional. He communicated to us in great detail throughout our trip. I will definitely consider taking Trailways again.

The bus was comfortable. The driver gave plenty of information although he had a thick accent that made it hard at times to understand. We had a rest stop and were well briefed for the border crossing.

New York to Montreal Buses

What to know about the bus trip from NYC to Montreal

Choose the best bus company for your trip: you can travel this route with Greyhound, Trailways, or Flixbus. Each company offers its own advantages and amenities, so it's always a good idea to compare options and prices to find the best fit for your preferences and budget.

Consider the amenities: the three companies offer comfortable amenities such as WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and reclining seats. Although Trailways is known for providing excellent customer service, more comfortable seats, and being on schedule, Greyhound tickets are often cheaper and it's easier to find schedules that fit your preferences.

Consider border processing and essential paperwork: Keep in mind that this route goes through an international border, so travel times could vary based on processing wait times at the border control. This also means you must have all the essential paperwork with you, such as a valid passport and valid visa to enter Canada.

Convenient bus stations in New York: The main bus station for both Greyhound and Trailways buses departing from NYC to Montreal is the Port Authority Bus Terminal, located near Times Square in midtown Manhattan. The station has plenty of amenities, including WiFi, ATMs, a food court, and luggage storage services. Plus, it's conveniently located near public transportation. Greyhound buses also depart from the GW Bridge station, which has fewer amenities but may be a better option if you're in that part of town. If you're coming from Queens, the Greyhound bus departure point at Queens Village station might be a good starting place for your journey. You can also find other bus stops around the city with less frequent departures.

Central bus station in Montreal: The central bus station for both Greyhound and Trailways in Montreal is the Gare d'autocars de Montreal. It is situated between Berri-UQAM and Sherbrooke metro stations downtown. Both departing and arriving buses for the NYC to Montreal route use this station. The station is modern and well-equipped, with amenities such as WiFi, ATMs, a food court, and a luggage storage service. It's also easy to access via public transportation.

Enjoy beautiful landscapes: One of the best parts about taking the bus from NYC to Canada is enjoying beautiful landscapes that you would otherwise miss if flying. Just outside of NYC, you'll pass through quaint towns and sprawling farmland in upstate New York. With the Adirondack mountains on the horizon, you travel through cities like Albany and Glens Falls and, along the way, you’ll be treated to a different scenic view depending on what time of year it is. Once you enter Montreal, you'll be greeted by the famous Jacques-Cartier Bridge and the St. Lawrence River, before arriving in Montreal's bustling downtown area. Taking the bus allows you to appreciate these sights at a slower pace and truly immerse yourself in the journey.

Review: The Big Bus Tour in New York City

I absolutely loved the Big Bus Tour in New York City. It’s the best way to go sightseeing in an open-top, hop-on hop-off, top-rated tour and explore the best New York attractions !

If this is your first-time visiting New York and you want to see all the top landmarks, this double-decker tour bus will take you there.

The Big Bus Tour in New York

You may be wondering if a hop-on hop-off bus is worth it. Absolutely, yes!

If you consider the time and money spent on transportation costs, waiting for buses, navigating the subway (which can be confusing for visitors), and getting from one point of interest to another, it is worth every dollar!

I had a great visit to New York City on Big Bus Tour. My goal was to show the city to some friends from Italy who were visiting the US for the first time.

Since we only had about two days to spend together, the hop-on hop-off was undoubtedly the best decision.

From our experience, we’ll answer commonly asked questions about the Hop-on Hop-off bus while visiting New York City.

Google Reviews

Why take the big bus tour in new york.

While seeing New York from the open-top deck of the double-decker bus, the city unfolded block by block with panoramic views from every angle.

As we traveled through the streets, the sights were unobstructed and new visual backdrops were revealed.

The towering skyscrapers and colorful billboards filled the air with excitement and as the cityscape continued to change, it gave a grand feeling to the experience.

I especially enjoyed being able to relax from the upper deck of the bus while taking in the energy of city scenes.

Because I also live in a large city, the rhythm felt familiar from the elevated vantage point .

Car horns were honking, crowds traversed through the streets and there was an endless hum of activity.

Best of all, the tour gave me the chance to interact with other travelers who were seeing New York while waiting for the tour to began.

We struck up conversations and exchanged stories, insights, and recommendations during our stay in New York.

How Much is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The regular price of an adult and child ticket is $60.00 and $50.00, respectively. However, you can use the link below for discounted fares.

Get discounts for the Big Bus Tour NYC  here .

How Long is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The round-trip New York City Big Bus Tour takes about two hours from start to finish.

The bus is the perfect solution for visitors worldwide because they offer pre-recorded audio narratives and translations in five languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, and English.

Are There Toilets on the Big Bus

No. Unlike charter buses, you won’t travel long between stops. So the best thing to do is exit at a stop, find a public restroom, see an attraction, if desired, and then catch the next bus.

If you are not sure where to find one, ask a Big Bus guide on the street. The driver may also have some suggestions.

Charter buses come equipped with a bathroom because travel is expected to be for a much longer period.

How Does the Big Bus Tour Work in New York City

The tour offers three options for purchase — 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day.

When you decide the number of days of your tour and purchase your ticket, the clock starts when your ticket is scanned while boarding the bus for the first time.

The ticket is good for 24, 48, or 72 hours. So, if you have a 1-day ticket and board the bus at 11:00 AM on Monday, it can still be used until 11:00 AM on Tuesday.

We found a ton of touring options for sightseeing in New York.

Aside from the extended period, the 2 and 3-day tickets also offer discounted bike rentals.

The buses run every 20 minutes on average. However, the first stop at the M&M store can be a long wait during peak season.

You can exit or board at any of the designated stops as much as you want.

The only exclusion is the one-loop tour Night Tour which is a panoramic non-stop tour.

Where to Catch the Big Bus Tour in New York City

During the tour, the buses only stop at designated stops.

Your ticket is good for as long as the buses operate during the day and it may be used on both the red and blue routes.

When you board, make sure you get a hop-on hop-off New York bus route map!

Big Bus NYC Red Route

The red route sightseeing tour covers lower Manhattan and you’ll see many landmarks like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Wall Street, the Chrysler Building, and General Grant’s Tomb.

You can catch a tour at any one of the following bus stops and you can get your tickets in advance of boarding.

1 – M&M’s World – 7th Ave & W 48th St (Outside M&M World & Majestic Deli)

2 – Times Square East – W 42nd St & Broadway (at Knickerbocker Hotel)

3 – Empire State Building / Korea Town – 5th Ave & W 32nd St (at CVS Pharmacy)

4 – Flatiron District – 5th Ave & W 23rd St (at Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop)

5 – SoHo – Broadway and Spring Street (at Nike Store)

6 – Chinatown / Little Italy – 100 Lafayette Street (near the corner at Walker St)

7 – Brooklyn Bridge – Park Row & Beekman St (across from 33 Park Row)

8 – Wall Street / Charging Bull – Broadway & Wall St (Southwest corner near Rector St)

10 – Circle Line Sightseeing – 12th Ave & 40th St (opposite Pier 81)

11 – Times Square North – 7th Ave & W 50th St (at Majestic Deli)

Big Bus NYC Blue Route

The blue route covers upper Manhattan, and half of the ride is mostly views of Central Park. You can switch to the blue route at red stop #2.

We recommend changing routes at stop #11 (the Majestic Deli) where you can take a break and have a nice lunch.

12 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art – 5th Ave & E 83rd St (near 83rd St)

13 – Central Park Zoo – 5th Ave & E 66th St (opposite 845 5th Ave)

14 – Columbus Circle – Central Park & Columbus Circle (SW corner of Central Park)

Tips and Things to Know Before You Go

The bus has two levels, the upper level offers panoramic views of the city but be careful of overhanging traffic lights and trees. Don’t stand while the bus is in motion.

• After you find a seat, check the audio to confirm it is working.
• Snacks are allowed. Bring a frozen bottle of water and protein bites to keep you energized.
• When on the upper deck, cover up with sunscreen to protect your skin on hot sunny days.
• If you are a family of 3 or more, take seats across from one another so you’ll have views and photos from both sides of the bus.

Tourists were lined up at stop #1 at least an hour before departure and the line extended the entire block and rounded the corner.

We decided to see other points of interest and returned around 11:00 AM.

The wait to board the bus was about 20 minutes. It was a relaxing ride and there we saw so much!

By the time we reached stop #9, we were pumped and ready to exit the bus so that we could explore the city! And you probably will be too.

Here’s the secret sauce that really made the experience memorable. Exit at stop #9 and take a FREE ferry to Staten Island.

To see the Statue of Liberty, stand on the left side of the boat. When returning, stand on the right side.

Final Thoughts About the Big Bus Tour in New York City

Overall, the tour was a pleasant way to see New York city and when you are on the upper deck, you hardly notice the traffic.

Some other advantages of seeing the city by bus include:

• Avoiding parking hassles. I mean, who actually drives in New York?!
• Photo opportunities. With the open-top or large windows, you have excellent photo opportunities as you pass by iconic landmarks and cityscapes.
• Comprehensive sightseeing of major landmarks and attractions within two hours.
• You can get local recommendations from the guides who operate the bus.

I usually opt for a hop-on hop-off bus when I am short on time or to get my bearings in the city before deciding what to do.

Either way, when you take the tour bus, it doesn’t appear impossible to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

Just got off the tour today (11/25/23). I must say this is a 10/10 experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone willing and able to. The tour is from 9:30AM-3:30PM, with walking, ferry crossings, and van rides. Guy and Bryant are a fantastic duo, Guy drives us around in his beautiful black van and Bryant does the tour. Bryant has a plethora of jokes, information and he ensures we all have a good time. I am so happy we did this tour instead of the "big" corporate double decker buses. I know some people will be "scared" away by the price but you get what you pay for and we don't regret spending that extra money to get a 5 star tour. The group is small, intimate, and we get up close and personal with the New York my husband and I have grown to love. A hiki i ka manawa a'e...Mahalo nui iā 'oukou a pau. Mālama Pono...and that's the 702nd language spoken here in the Big Apple (G&B will get it) Translation: until next time, thank you guys and take care!

This tour was simply amazing. It was everything we needed to get to know New York City on our first visit. Guy was an excellent driver and Bryant was a tour guide with endless knowledge of greater New York City. The small tidbits, the seriousness of 911, and the wonderful "dad" jokes were very appreciated. The timing and places that we visited were perfect. They gave us a much greater understanding of New York City and its vibe/people.

This was an excellent tour of New york City. It was a small group, but it was definitely an entertaining and enjoyable time we had during the 6 hour tour we saw alot of city our guide bryant and a driver Guy no that's his real name had us laughing from start to finish great memories that will last forever best quote how will you write your new york story trust me after the tour you will have a story to tell others I will definitely book this company and hopefully get Bryant and Guy to take me around New york again highly underrated but I would say give them a call when you want to see the city

Took this tour while visiting with my mom for a long weekend. We opted for this tour instead of the others because it stated there was a one hour boat ride to see the Statue of Liberty. However, it was actually just a ferry ride, which is free, with no real organization of getting on except for running and making sure you can see the tour guide and then getting off to instantly to catch the next one back as soon as you got there. This should be explained in the details. Additionally, you do stop at the places mentioned but you do not get access to go into anything. For the Brooklyn Bridge it was basically just walking to the front for a photo and leaving. Same for Grand Central Terminal, you go in and walk around quickly while he explains a few things. For $220/pp, I expected a bit more. Martin was our tour guide and he was great. His voice was loud and he knew what he was doing. Just keep in mind that you should honestly be in shape for this tour because you are consistently having to jog/run to keep up with the tour guide to stay on schedule. I would not recommend for anyone who cannot keep up. All in all, we had a smaller group, so it felt more intimate and it was nice meeting others from different countries and states. And you are able to get nice pictures throughout.

This was my first time visiting New York, and my wife's second, and all we wanted was a quick experience of as much as we could see during our stay, and the Small Bus Tours NYC offered precisely what best suited our needs. NY is just so huge with so much history, sights, and experiences that there's no way you're giong to see and experience absolutely everything there is to offer in this city. For a first timer, I have always thought it be best to visit, see, and briefly experience some of the highlights of the city, and if we ever came back, we could explore those same places in more detail, if we wanted to. That being said, yes, it was a quick rush to view all the sites as described in the tour's itinerary. However, we had a great....and very cool..... tour guide (Bryant) who is a native of NY, has great knowledge about NY's history, and gave us great detail about each of the sites we visited, in great detail. He has a clear voice and spoke very well.....and is quite the bit of the joker, but needs to know who he is directing his jokes to.....most foreigners or visitors of different generations may not get the American humor.....like my wife....haha. What we also liked about Bryant was that he had the experience to know when to visit a spot.....to avoid the crowds, to get the best views of everything without having to fight the crowds, and the best spot to go to in order to take the best photos....like on the ferry ride to Staten Island and back. Ok, as for some of the lower rated reviews on here, I do agree that it wasn't clear that we would be gettniig on the ferry.....which was free. I was under the impression that we would be couring around on a paid private group boat ride. Yes, the tour company should have made this more clear on their website. Other than that, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour, learned so much about the city, and got to see, visit, and learn way more than we would have had we gone out on our own. Also, the weather forecast called for rain this day, but as luck would have it, it was just a bit cloudy. I am guessing that because of the forecast for rain, very few people opted to book a tour on this day, but we took the chance and fortunately ended up enjoying the "private" tour with our very small group. Couldn't have asked for a better experience on ths first visit to NY. Totally worth it.

The tour was great but the details were misleading. I chose this tour over others because it included Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty. What they don't say is that you only go by the Empire State Building and see the Statue of Liberty from a public free ferry ride where you rush in and pack in like sardines then run to catch the returning ferry. Had I known we weren't actually going to go into the Empire State Building I would have chosen a different tour.

Booked a last minute NYC tour! Bryant was an awesome tour guide who kept us entertained for the entire trip! It was a great way to see all of the highlights of an amazing city. It was jam packed with many amazing stops filled with fun history of the city. It was very organized and just the right amount of time. We weren't sure what the purpose of the supervisor "Catherine" was on the bus. She didn't speak at all and it seemed to make the atmosphere awkward if you will. As the significant other of a business owner of over 400 employees I could definitely see eliminating that position and giving Guy the driver and Bryant a substantial raise and dispersing those responsibilities appropriately.

Cobblestone street with our phenomenal your guide Bryant!

If you get Martin as your tour guide, you are good to go! He was knowlegable about so many things...movie locations, architecture, history, and anything you would need to know about New York. He had a great energy, was organized and you can tell he was having a good time. It is not just a 6 hour bus ride. He was narrating the whole time. It was a great way to see the city without worrying about where to go and where to get off, etc. I loved how we got out at certain spots and walked around: The Staten Island Ferry, the 9/11 Memorial, Brooklyn Bridge, and Grand Central Terminal. He negotiated it all with ease. It was worth the money.

Bryan and Guy we're EXCELLENT tour guides and drivers. I took a trip to NYC fort 53rd birthday, by myself. The reviews lured me in and man it was the best decision ever. Only 12 people on the tour, we were told about the history of NYC. Everyone was friendly and I did not feel like I was by myself. Bryan and Guy need to work on their jokes, but not their tour guide skills! We laughed, and laughed. I am a Navy Vet that served my country during 9/11 and the way Bryan paid respect to the 9/11 memorial, respected the grounds by not conducting a tour on it but at the tip of the strips was so nice. Thank you Bryan! Hooyah! Take this tour guys! I know I will take my family ne

Rock thrown through windshield kills North Carolina woman

BURKE COUNTY, N.C. -- North Carolina highway patrol is investigating a crash, in which a rock was thrown into the windshield of a car, killing a woman.

It happened Wednesday night in Burke County, WSOC reported .

Troopers believe shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday, someone threw the 5- to 8-pound rock from another vehicle or from the side of the road. It hit and killed 23-year-old Brittany Ferguson.

Investigators said Ferguson's car continued off the road and then hit the front of a home. Witnesses said the large rock was still in the front seat of the car and the wheels were spinning when they got up to the vehicle.

All Thursday morning, people were driving slowly by the scene. Neighbors said Ferguson's family members placed signs Thursday morning along the roadway where it happened, asking for help from the public. Shattered glass was still at the scene.

Heather Deal showed the path of the car as it went through her yard before hitting the home.

"I really don't have the words," Deal said. "I really don't have the words. It's scary. She was meeting up with her sister is what I was told by family, and they were supposed to go and have a day at the Biltmore house."

Abby Rumfelt owns the home that was damaged.

"I hope that whoever did this act will come forward and, you know, man up to what's happened here," she said. "Because it's just an awful tragedy."

"Evil: That's all I can think of is evil, just pure evil," Deal said.

State troopers said they are looking for a white Chevrolet S-10 that was spotted in the area and possibly had someone in the bed of the truck. They are working closely with sheriff's deputies on the case, hoping to find the person responsible.

"Someone threw a rock, either standing on the shoulder or passing by in the opposite direction in another vehicle," First Sgt. Daniel Wakefield said.

He's with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.

"We're going to rely on and hope that someone will come forward and help us with this to locate this vehicle," he said.

State troopers said they're also canvassing the area with deputies to see if there's any surveillance cameras that captured video of the second vehicle around the time of the wreck.

PGA Championship 2024 live updates: Scottie Scheffler climbs leaderboard despite arrest for assault of a police officer

Scottie Scheffler arrested by police before second round

World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler was charged with assaulting a police officer outside Valhalla Golf Club hours before starting his second round at the 2024 PGA Championship.

Scheffler — who was also charged with third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic — was released by police just in time to take to the course for his tee-off time of 10:08am ET. He impressed with a five-under round of 66 that moved him into third, at nine-under for the tournament.

The Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections, who posted a mugshot of the 27-year-old, said he was booked in at 7.28am local time and released at 8.40am. Scheffler later described the incident as “a big misunderstanding”.

The start of Friday’s second round was delayed by 80 minutes because of an unrelated crash near the course . Louisville police said a shuttle bus had struck and killed a pedestrian outside the golf club. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg later named him as local man John Mills.

Xander Schauffele 36-hole leader at PGA Championship with Morikawa, Scheffler chasing

Xander Schauffele stepped onto the first tee Friday at Valhalla Golf Club after a historic first round at the PGA Championship. He shot a 9-under 62, giving him the 18-hole lead. It tied the men’s major scoring record, the lowest round in PGA Championship history.

Friday’s round for Schauffele didn’t smash records or set career-scoring bests. But it kept the 30-year-old atop the PGA Championship leaderboard heading into the weekend.

Schauffele shot a second-round 68, giving him the 36-hole lead. It’s the second consecutive week Schauffele led a tournament after 36 holes. Last week, Schauffele couldn’t secure the win, thanks to a dominant performance from Rory McIlroy.

The seven-time PGA Tour winner is looking for a different outcome this week, attempting to capture his first major championship.

It was a roller coaster second round for Brooks Koepka.

He shot a 3-under 68, which consisted of eight birdies.

But it also included three bogeys and a double.

31 of the last 34 winners of the PGA Championship have been in the top 10 through 36 holes.

Over the last 30 years, 91 percent of men's major winners have been in the top 10 entering the third round.

McIlroy going in the wrong direction

Rory McIlroy, who won the PGA the last time it was staged at Valhalla, is going in the wrong direction.

After being 1-under-par through 11 holes, McIlroy records a double-bogey 6 on the par-4 12th.

He is 4-under-par for the tournament, eight back of the lead.

Needs a strong finish coming in to get back in the mix.

Inside the most bizarre day in major golf with the arrest of Scottie Scheffler

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The most shocking day in golf major championship history began with a tragedy, and saw Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 male player in the world, arrested, booked into a local jail and released in time to tee off.

It was just after 5 a.m. on a rainy Friday morning that police were called to the street outside of Valhalla Golf Club. A shuttle bus traveling down Shelbyville Road struck and killed John Mills, a local man working the PGA Championship for a tournament vendor.

The fatal wreck caused traffic to be shut down in both directions outside of Valhalla, which is hosting the major championship for the first time in a decade. Scheffler arrived at the scene an hour later, amid a steady rain and flashing police lights, seeking to enter the property and begin preparation for an 8:48 a.m. tee time for Round 2 of the PGA Championship. A police and security presence outside of a major championship routine is typical, even common. “I drive by cops like that probably 10 times a year,” one PGA Tour swing coach said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter.

What happened next was anything but common. When Scheffler, traveling eastbound, attempted to move his vehicle into the westbound lane, according to the Louisville Police Department arrest report, detective Bryan Gillis attempted to stop the vehicle. The police report said Scheffler continued forward, “dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” and noted that he suffered injuries that required medical treatment, as well as irreparable damage to his $80 uniform pants. Jeff Darlington, an ESPN NFL reporter assigned to cover the second golf major of the year, happened to be on the scene and watched it unfold, reporting that Scheffler’s vehicle moved 10 to 20 yards before coming to a final stop.

Scheffler’s attorney, Steve Romines, said Scheffler was originally instructed to go in and that the officer directing traffic was not part of the event traffic detail. “So that’s where the miscommunication arose and that’s why we’re here,” Romines said Friday morning.

When Scheffler did stop, he lowered his window and the officer reached in, grabbed Scheffler’s arm and pulled the door open, Darlington reported. The officer then put Scheffler in handcuffs and pushed him against the car. As Scheffler was escorted toward a police car in the rainy dark, a video filmed by Darlington showed Scheffler turning to say, “Can you help?”

“You need to get out of the way,” another officer told Darlington. “Right now, he’s going to jail, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Schauffele drops a shot, lead is 1

Xander Schauffele makes his first bogey of the week.

The last player to go the first 36 holes of a PGA Championship without a single bogey is Hale Irwin in 1993.

Schauffele falls to 12-under-par, one ahead of Collin Morikawa.

Schauffele improves to 13-under-par

Xander Schauffele is now 13-under.

The lowest 36-hole score to par in men's major championship history is 14 under by Jordan Spieth at the 2015 Masters.

Will Zalatoris: Players discussed delaying, canceling PGA Championship second round

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A small group of players discussed not playing the second round of the PGA Championship as scheduled following the death of a pedestrian outside of Valhalla Golf Club, as well as the arrest of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Will Zalatoris detailed the 20-30 minute conversation, which took place in the Valhalla locker room, to a small group of reporters after his round Friday afternoon. The group of unnamed players considered approaching the PGA of America about the cancellation or delay of Friday’s play, he said.

“Some of the guys were talking about, wondering if we should even play today,” Zalatoris said. “At one point there were a group of guys in the locker room talking about going to the PGA of America about it, but I think it was dead in the water in the locker room. It was bizarre. We just didn’t know … when Scottie was going to get out, any of the details.”

Tee times were delayed by one hour and 20 minutes on Friday after a shuttle bus struck and killed John Mills, who was working for a tournament vendor. The PGA moved the first tee times from 7:15 a.m. ET to 8:35.

During his Friday post-round news conference, Scottie Scheffler said that he was "going to go back to his normal routine." That includes having a meal, practicing in the afternoon, going to the gym before heading home and getting some rest before the weekend.

Well, the broadcast showed Scheffler practicing bunker shots and signing autographs for fans.

Scottie Scheffler climbs PGA Championship leaderboard hours after arrest

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Scottie Scheffler, the world’s most dominant golfer, rose up the leaderboard of the PGA Championship on Friday, hours after he was arrested while trying to navigate a traffic backup caused by a crash that killed a pedestrian outside Valhalla Golf Club.

In an extraordinary sequence of events over about three hours, Scheffler was handcuffed while arriving at the course before sunrise, booked while wearing an orange jumpsuit in downtown Louisville and driven back to the course with stunned crowds following his every move as his newly hired local lawyer told reporters that he would comply with an investigation into his interaction with a police officer who was directing traffic. Scheffler faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.

Scheffler’s day on the course finally began at 10:08 a.m. ET, when he teed off nearly four hours after his arrest. He went on to shoot a 5-under-par 66, climbing into a tie for third on the leaderboard. Scheffler, who said he began stretching in a jail cell Friday in hopes of returning to Valhalla in time for his tee time, said after the round his head was “spinning.”

“It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding,” Scheffler said.

Scottie Scheffler: A fan favorite

Following his second-round 66, Scottie Scheffler high-fived fans as he walked off the course to sign his scorecard.

Two spectators had T-shirts with Scheffler's face. One of the tees showed Scheffler's mugshot that the Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections posted Friday morning when the World No. 1 was booked in downtown Louisville.

Scottie Scheffler said he feels his head is “still spinning” after the sequence of events he experienced on Friday. He was arrested and handcuffed Friday morning while arriving at the course before sunrise, booked in an orange jumpsuit in downtown Louisville, then returned to Valhalla Golf Club and shot a second-round 66 at the PGA Championship.

Scheffler faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic. His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday at 9 a.m., according to online court records, two days after the PGA Championship is scheduled to end.

Asked to encapsulate what transpired, Scheffler described his pre-round routine, which took place in jail.

“I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell that was a first for me,” Scheffler said after his second round.

Scheffler said his “main focus after getting arrested” was whether he could continue playing in the PGA Championship. He said that he was in “shock” when he got arrested and that he was “shaking for an hour,” trying to calm down.

While getting fingerprinted in jail, Scheffler said a police officer offered him a sandwich.

“Sure, I’ll take a sandwich, I didn’t eat breakfast yet,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler teed off at 10:08 a.m., nearly four hours after his arrest. He described Friday's round as “pretty good.”

“It was nice to be able to put together a solid round today for sure,” Scheffler said.

Tiger Woods cards second triple-bogey of round

This isn’t pleasant to watch: Tiger Woods, a 15-time major winner, has carded his second triple-bogey seven in the space of three holes.

This time his game deserts him on the fourth, having also bogeyed the third. He’s now eight over — seven over for the round — and his hopes of making it to the weekend are long gone.
