Pauline sharp, a not to be missed tour.

We were really pleased with the tour as we had never been to Brighton before, we had travelled by train to Brighton then got the tour bus outside the station which helped us plan...

Jane hatton

Booked online with discount only on the day you could get ticket even cheaper (I paid £13.50 instead of £15, on the day on the bus was only £12)...

• ryanpimm 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great Bus Tour Having not been on a open-top bus tour for some years, we decided to try this and we're not disappointed. Staff were friendly and the ticket price gives access to all three tours and travel on other Brighton buses on the day of purchase. The pre-recorded commentary is interesting and available in a number of languages. Due to time constraints, we only ended up doing the City tour but would definitely come back in the future to try the others. I have one tip if you're considering this - just because it may seem warm on the ground doesn't mean that it'll be the same on an open top bus - the final part of the tour along the clifftop Marine Parade made me wish I'd worn a long-sleeved top!

• annabelridsdale57 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fantastic The staff are incredibly friendly. The routes are interesting with commentary throughout so that you get a nice history lesson of Brighton. You can go on all 3 routes which I think is fantastic. The ticket also works on all the other buses in Brighton so I'd recommend getting the 2 day pass as a single trip in Brighton on a bus is over £2. I'd recommend bringing a blanket too!

• Beckton2Brentford 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fun Booked this trip, even though I know the town well, but was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Fantastic (if slightly tacky) commentary and pace. I sat at the back of the top deck, snapping brainlessly and filming the sights, going so far as to repeatedly ignore the ‘don’t stand up’ policy, for which I was rightly told off at the end by the thoroughly professional driver, Debbie. Sorry for making your job harder Debbie. Rode the Red route - Wish I’d bought the option of a two-day ticket to try the Blue and Green routes - think it’s not much more to upgrade from the one-day family ticket? I would say, if you’re like me, what will make-or-break the bus ride for you will be how busy it is onboard... I rode the City Sightseeing Brighton route with the family and fewer than 8 other passengers. This makes the whole thing relaxing, as I’ve found that other bus tours with sharp-elbowed, ruthless, and loud co-tourists makes for cramped seating, distractions and obstructed views. I would recommend you do this in bad weather when the gormless day trippers from Brixton, East Ham and Africa avoid the seafront? Top marks to the staff and management.

• Teresa C 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Day Trip to Brighton One of the best sightseeing tours we've been on. There are 3 different routes, each taking about 1 hour, and the ticket price (£17 adult, £10 Senior) covers all three tours, so throughout the day we spent over 3 hours seeing all the sights in and around Brighton. Devils Dyke, on the country tour, would have been great to stop off at, if we'd known in advance exactly what was there, but time prevented us doing so. Wonderful views across the countryside and back to Brighton, or just watch hang-gliders above. Good, clear, informative commentary on all tours and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We would certainly recommend it, especially if you only have one day to see all the sights. We would have had to drive to the furthest reaches of the tours, so it was great to not have to do so.

• Douglas19Ed 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Poor quality buses. Went on the city tour last week. We have always used the City Sightseeing brand in cities throughout Europe - Lisbon, Athens, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Copenhagen, Edinburgh & Nice. We were on the first tour of the day - only one other person on board. Had to ask the driver to stop as we would not get the audio to work properly - poor signage about languages available and also how to increase the volume. Perhaps the problem was just with our bus, but it could do with an upgrade. Not impressed by the Brighton franchise. Read more Written August 13, 2018

We went on this about 8 years ago where the commentary was entertaining informative full of real stories music effects and using known voices of real actors. Now it’s over priced, very poor and misses out lots of what was originally portrayed! It’s a no and far too expensive and not very comfortable either.

John Mills was working for a PGA vendor when he was killed Friday in a traffic accident outside Valhalla Golf Club. (Photo courtesy of John Mills family)

LOUISVILLE — A man working for a PGA of America vendor was killed by a shuttle bus outside Valhalla Golf Club Friday morning ahead of the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship.

The PGA of America identified the victim as John Mills, a 69-year-old Louisville resident. According to a Louisville Metro Police spokesperson, the accident occurred around 5 a.m in the 1500 block of Shelbyville Road. A shuttle bus was traveling eastbound in a lane that is dedicated to buses. The victim died at the scene, according to police.

"Our primary concern today remains with the family of John Mills, who lost his life in a tragic accident early this morning while reporting to work,” the PGA of America said in a statement. “As it relates to the incident involving Scottie Scheffler, we are fully cooperating as local authorities review what took place. While the legal process plays out, questions should to be directed to Scheffler’s attorney or local authorities."

The accident caused the PGA of America to delay the start of the second round by 1 hour and 20 minutes. Play began at 8:35 a.m.

“He was enjoying his time at Valhalla while working security," Mills family said via a statement. "He liked to stay busy in retirement. We love him and will miss him.”

The accident caused traffic to be backed up around Valhalla. Subsequently, Scottie Scheffler, in an attempt to get to the golf course for his second round tee time was involved in an incident with Louisville police that resulted in the World No. 1 golfer being arrested and charged with second degree assault of an officer among four counts.

On Thursday a similar accident happened at the same spot, with a shuttle bus and SUV crash snarling traffic and causing transportation delays to fans.

The pre-recorded commentary is interesting and available in a number of languages. Due to time constraints, we only ended up doing the City tour but would definitely come back in the future to try the others. I have one tip if you're considering this - just because it may seem warm on the ground doesn't mean that it'll be the same on an open top bus - the final part of the tour along the clifftop Marine Parade made me wish I'd worn a long-sleeved top!

• annabelridsdale57 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fantastic The staff are incredibly friendly. The routes are interesting with commentary throughout so that you get a nice history lesson of Brighton. You can go on all 3 routes which I think is fantastic. The ticket also works on all the other buses in Brighton so I'd recommend getting the 2 day pass as a single trip in Brighton on a bus is over £2. I'd recommend bringing a blanket too!

• Shell2810 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Didn’t see one hop on hop off bus Went to Brighton and was looking forward to going on this bus but I didn’t see any in sight. When I asked around they mentioned maybe this service does not run during the colder weather and someone even mentioned the service ended end of September, but this was not mentioned on the site. We did have a great day at Brighton and the weather was great for the i360. Read more Written 4 November 2018

• Beckton2Brentford 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fun Booked this trip, even though I know the town well, but was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Fantastic (if slightly tacky) commentary and pace. I sat at the back of the top deck, snapping brainlessly and filming the sights, going so far as to repeatedly ignore the ‘don’t stand up’ policy, for which I was rightly told off at the end by the thoroughly professional driver, Debbie. Sorry for making your job harder Debbie. Rode the Red route - Wish I’d bought the option of a two-day ticket to try the Blue and Green routes - think it’s not much more to upgrade from the one-day family ticket? I would say, if you’re like me, what will make-or-break the bus ride for you will be how busy it is onboard... I rode the City Sightseeing Brighton route with the family and fewer than 8 other passengers. This makes the whole thing relaxing, as I’ve found that other bus tours with sharp-elbowed, ruthless, and loud co-tourists makes for cramped seating, distractions and obstructed views. I would recommend you do this in bad weather when the gormless day trippers from Brixton, East Ham and Africa avoid the seafront? Top marks to the staff and management.

• Teresa C 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Day Trip to Brighton One of the best sightseeing tours we've been on. There are 3 different routes, each taking about 1 hour, and the ticket price (£17 adult, £10 Senior) covers all three tours, so throughout the day we spent over 3 hours seeing all the sights in and around Brighton. Devils Dyke, on the country tour, would have been great to stop off at, if we'd known in advance exactly what was there, but time prevented us doing so. Wonderful views across the countryside and back to Brighton, or just watch hang-gliders above. Good, clear, informative commentary on all tours and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We would certainly recommend it, especially if you only have one day to see all the sights. We would have had to drive to the furthest reaches of the tours, so it was great to not have to do so.

• Douglas19Ed 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Poor quality buses. Went on the city tour last week. We have always used the City Sightseeing brand in cities throughout Europe - Lisbon, Athens, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Copenhagen, Edinburgh & Nice. We were on the first tour of the day - only one other person on board. Had to ask the driver to stop as we would not get the audio to work properly - poor signage about languages available and also how to increase the volume. Perhaps the problem was just with our bus, but it could do with an upgrade. Not impressed by the Brighton franchise. Read more Written 13 August 2018

We went on this about 8 years ago where the commentary was entertaining informative full of real stories music effects and using known voices of real actors.

City Sightseeing Brighton Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour provided by City Sightseeing Brighton

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.

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)

9 – Statue of Liberty / Battery Park – State St and Bridge St (at Subway Entrance)

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.

Traveling on a budget? Read my review of the Westside YMCA Hotel !

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.

Happy Travels!

2024 PGA Championship Round 2: Tiger Woods misses cut, Xander Schauffele leads

A bizarre day at the 2024 PGA Championship has come to an end. 

Friday started in chaos after tournament worker John Mills was struck and killed by a shuttle bus as he arrived to work outside of the Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky, subsequently delaying Round 2 tee times.

Mills’ tragic death was unfortunately overshadowed by the arrest of World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler , who faces four criminal charges, including second degree assault on a police officer, following a dustup with a Louisville police officer directing traffic at the course following the fatal accident. 

"I feel like my head is still spinning,” Scheffler said after shooting 5-under on the day despite his arrest. "I definitely never imagined ever going to jail, and I definitely never imagined going to jail the morning before one of my tee times, for sure.”

Scheffler, the 2024 Masters champion, is currently tied for fourth place at 9-under. The top three is rounded out by Americans Xander Schauffele (-12) , Collin Morikawa (-11) and Sahith Theegala (-10). 

Play was suspended at 8:41 p.m. ET on Friday due to darkness with a handful of players left on the course. The projected cut is set at 1-under par .

USA TODAY Sports provided updates, highlights and more throughout Round 2 on Friday:

Here are the top 10 on the leaderboard following the suspension of Round 2:

1. Xander Schauffele, -12

2. Collin Morikawa, -11

3. Sahith Theegala, -10

4 (tie). Bryson DeChambeau, -9

4 (tie). Thomas Detry, -9

4 (tie). Scottie Scheffler, -9

8 (tie). Austin Eckroat, -8

Scottie Scheffler emerges from wild ordeal looking like a real person

Just after 6 a.m. on Friday, the best golfer on the planet found himself in handcuffs being led into a police car. Shortly after that, he was in a jail cell, doing some pre-round stretching in hopes that he could play the second round of the PGA Championship. And a few hours later, he was in front of reporters after shooting 66, putting him right in contention to win his third major championship.

Golf is a sport of monotonous routines, requiring a certain serenity of the mind and body for players to perform at the highest level. Or at least so we thought . — Dan Wolken

Tiger Woods ends second round with birdie, still misses cut

It’s official — Tiger Woods is out . He ended his second round at the PGA Championship on a high-note with a birdie on No. 18 to bring him to 6-over for the day and 7-over for the tournament, but he still sits 8 strokes above the projected cut line at 1-under. 

It marks only the 13th time in Woods’ illustrious career that he’s missed the cut at a major.  

He posted three birdies, three bogeys and two triple-bogeys during the round at Valhalla Golf Club, the same course he won the 2000 PGA Championship. 

Who didn’t make the cut at PGA Championship?

It looks like Tiger Woods’ time at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club — the course where he won the 2000 PGA Championship — is ending early. Woods is currently 8 over par through 16 holes on the second round, 10 strokes off the projected cut line at 1-under.

He’s not the only one below the cut line. Spain’s John Rahm (E), England’s Matt Fitzpatrick (E), Americans Dustin Johnson (+1), Wyndham Clark (+4), Phil Mickelson (+4) and South Korea’s Si Woo Kim (+5) are among the notable golfers who are projected to miss the cut at the PGA Championship.

'I was never angry. I was just in shock'

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — On Friday morning,  Scottie Scheffler  stretched in a jail cell, preparing for a round of golf he didn’t know he’d be able to play.

“I didn't know what time it was. I didn't know what was going on,” Scheffler said. “When I was sitting in like the holding cell, there was a TV there, and I could see myself on the TV on ESPN.”

If Scheffler wasn’t all that interesting as the world’s No. 1 golfer, that’s no longer the case .

In rainy conditions and with huge crowds roaring their support, Scheffler showed up with a jailhouse sandwich in his stomach and shot a 5-under-par 66 during  Friday’s second round at the 2024 PGA Championship,  bringing him to 9 under for the tournament. — Gentry Estes , Nashville Tennessean

Tiger Woods on the verge of missing cut

Tigers Woods is almost out of time. The four-time PGA Championship winner currently sits at 8-over for the tournament through 14 holes after picking up back-to-back bogeys on No. 11 and No. 12. The cut currently is projected at 1-under , meaning Woods is 10 strokes away from making it into the weekend. Woods has made 18 of the last 22 cuts at the PGA Championship, according to the ESPN broadcast.

Woods won the the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

Tiger Woods hits another bogey

Disaster struck on No. 11 for Woods after he posted back-to-back birdies on No. 7 and 8, appearing to pick up some momentum heading into the back nine of the second round, but his short game got in the way again. Woods three-putted on No. 11 to finish with a bogey, his second of the day. He also had two triple bogeys in the second round. He’s back to 7-over for the tournament and in danger of missing the cut (1-under). 

Xander Schauffele back in the lead

American Xander Schauffele is atop the leaderboard. He sits at 12-under through 11 holes, leading fellow American Collin Morikawa by one stroke and American Scottie Scheffler by three strokes. 

Schauffele has posted four birdies in the second round to get him in sole possession of the lead, but a bogey on No. 11 cut into his cushion. Schauffele is vying for his first major title. His best showing at the PGA Championship was a 10th-place finish in 2020. 

Watch: Tiger Woods almost hit a hole in one

Woods nearly aced No. 8. He drove a ball nearly 170 yards on the 173-yard, Par-3 hole and tapped in a putt to post a birdie. It marks Woods second consecutive birdie after getting off to a rough start in the second round and posting two triple bogeys. He’s back to 6-over for the tournament. The projected cut is at 1-under. 

Earlier in the day, Swedish golfer Sebastian Soderberg aced the same hole, the first of the week. 

Tiger Woods saves par on No. 5

Driving hasn’t been a problem with Woods so far. Hole No. 5 (Par-4, 468 yards) was no different. He drove a ball down the middle of the fairway at 171 mph. It’s the short game that has been missing so far in the second round. Woods barely missed the green his next stroke and chipped the ball near the flag stick to set up a par putt that he sunk. 

To make matters worse, the projected cut line has moved to 1-under for the tournament , meaning Woods has even more ground to cover. He’s 8-over through five holes. 

Tiger Woods' struggles continues with another triple bogey

Things looked brighter after Woods found the middle of the fairway with his first stroke on Par-4, No. 4, but he missed the green on his next shot after the ball hit a lump in the green and rolled off completely. His next shot ended up in the bunker and he wasn’t able to clear it with his next stroke, ending back up in the bunker. Woods chipped the ball onto the green on his fifth stroke and two-putted it in for a triple bogey, his second of the day. He sits at 8-over par on the tournament. 

Tiger Woods posts a triple bogey

Tiger Woods’ second-round at the Valhalla Golf Club is not off to a good start. After shooting a par-4 on the opening hole, Woods recorded a triple bogey and a bogey on hole No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. Woods started the second round 1-over and now moves to 5-over for the tournament. He has some major ground to make up in order to make the cut, which is projected at 1-under. 

Collin Morikawa increases lead, Tiger begins second round

Collin Morikawa (-12) birdied five of his last six holes and is three shots ahead of Thomas Detry, Mark Hubbard and Xander Schauffele.

Tiger Woods has teed off and begins his round tied for 84th place at 1-over. He has some work to do as the projected cut line is even par.

Collin Morikawa surges into lead

Collin Morikawa made his third straight birdie at No. 6 and now owns the outright lead at 10-under. Scottie Scheffler is two shots back with birdies on No. 2 and 4 on the back nine.

PGA releases statement, man killed identified

"Our primary concern today remains with the family of John Mills, who lost his life in a tragic accident early this morning while reporting to work," the PGA of America said in a statement. "As it relates to the incident involving Scottie Scheffler, we are fully cooperating as local authorities review what took place. While the legal process plays out, questions should to be directed to Scheffler's attorney or local authorities."

Mark Hubbard, Collin Morikawa now tied for lead

Hubbard, who is looking for his first major title, nailed a birdie on 18 and is tied for the lead with Xander Schauffele at 9-under. Heading to the back nine, Hubbard finished 3-under on the front. Morikawa has birdied No. 4 and 5 on his back nine to grab a share of the lead also.

Rising scores despite heavy rain

Despite a steady rain that has been falling all morning at Valhalla, scores keep rising.

Xander Schauffele (-9) will tee off later, but Mark Hubbard is one shot back. Collin Morikawa, Austin Eckroat, and Thomas Detry are all crammed in at 7-under. Scottie Scheffler started his back nine with a par on hole No. 1, and he is sitting at -6 under for the tournament.

Mark Hubbard, Jason Day making noise on Day 2

Hubbard has birdied two of his first four holes starting his second round, and Jason Day finished his front nine with three birdies to get him to 3-under. Alex Noren also has three birdies on his first nine holes and finds himself three shots from the lead.

Xander Schauffele's lead shrinking early in second round

Golfers starting their second round in the morning are inching closer to the lead. Mark Hubbard is now two shots after his birdie on No. 10, with Thomas Detry and Collin Morikawa each adding a birdie to their respective scorecards to get to 6-under. Harris English has three birdies on the front nine to get him to 5-under.

Leader Xander Schauffele (-9) is scheduled to tee off at 2:38 p.m. ET.

Scottie Scheffler gets another birdie

Scheffler started the day with a birdie at No. 10, then bogeyed No. 11. He got right back on track on No. 12 to get another birdie and is now back to 5-under, four shots from the lead.

First ace of the tournament

Sebastian Söderberg made a hole-in-one on the Par 3 No. 8 for the first ace of the PGA Championship. That shot brought to even par for the tournament and 2-under for the day.

Louisville police release incident report on Scheffler arrest

Louisville authorities released their version of events that led to Scottie Scheffler being arrested on Friday morning. According to the arrest complaint, an officer was directing traffic due to an accident involving a fatality when Scheffler "tried to gain access to the course."

The officer, dressed in a reflective rain jacket, stopped Scheffler and attempted to give him instructions, but the subject "refused to comply and accelerated forward," dragging the officer to the ground, damaging his $80 uniform pants "beyond repair." The officer, who was identified as Detective Bryan Gillis, was taken to the hospital for further treatment and "suffered pain, swelling to abrasions to his left wrist and knee."

Scheffler birdies first hole of the day

If Scottie Scheffler was distracted by this morning's events, it didn't show it on the Par 5 No. 10. After hitting the rough on his first shot, Scheffler steadied himself and made a birdie to start his round. He is currently 5-under for the tournament.

Scottie Scheffler begins Round 2 at PGA Championship

Scottie Scheffler now switches his mind to golf.

The World No. 1 golfer has teed off at Valhalla, reaching the rough on hole No. 10. Scheffler shot a 4-under par in the first round, good for a tie for 11th place.

Scottie Scheffler makes statement about Friday's arrest

ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed Scottie Scheffler's morning arrest and recorded it on social media, shared a statement he received from Scheffler :

"This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today. Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective."

PGA of America statement

The PGA of America released a statement about Friday morning's events:

"This morning we were devastated to learn that a worker with one of our vendors was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus outside Valhalla Golf Club. This is heartbreaking to all of us involved with the PGA Championship. We extend our sincere condolences to their family and loved ones."

Scottie Scheffler's lawyer addresses golfer's arrest

Steve Romines, a lawyer representing Scottie Scheffler after his Friday morning arrest, spoke to the media moments after Scheffler left Louisville Metro Police Department.

"He was going into Valhalla to work out and get ready for his tee time. (Police) were directing traffic, he held his media credential out and was going in like they've been instructed to. Apparently there had been a traffic accident, or maybe even a fatality down the road, and that had changed the traffic patterns, and he was unaware of that. And, I think the officer that was directing traffic, was maybe not part of the event traffic detail and so that's where the communication, miscommunication arose and that's why we're here."

When asked what happens next, Romines said it had not yet been decided whether he would play golf Friday and "we'll just deal with the court system as it comes."

Is Scottie Scheffler golfing at PGA Championship on Friday?

Scottie Scheffler is inside the clubhouse at Valhalla Golf Club, and it appears he will be able to make his 10:08 a.m. ET tee time.

There was some question whether Scheffler would make it back to Valhalla after being detained and charged with second degree assault on a police officer, which is a felony, as well as criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic.

USGA Rule 5.3 states the committee can decide that exceptional circumstances prevented a golfer from starting on time. Under this provision there is no breach of rule and no penalty. It does not appear that it will be applicable in Scheffler's case since he has arrived at the course just less than an hour before his tee time.

Scottie Scheffler arrives for PGA Championship

Scottie Scheffler was dropped off at the clubhouse at Valhalla just after 9:10 a.m. ET.

As Scheffler exited his vehicle he was asked by ESPN reporter Marty Smith if he had any comment about this morning's incident.

"I love you, Marty," Scheffler said, with a smile.

PGA Championship underway; Scheffler on way to PGA Championship

As a chaotic morning continues, golf has started at Valhalla with the first handful of groups teeing off.

Scottie Scheffler, who has a 10:08 a.m. ET tee time, has been released from Louisville Metro Police Department and is en route to the golf course.

Scottie Scheffler arrested before Round 2 of PGA Championship

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.

Watch out for Bryson

This is the second time Bryson DeChambeau has started a major with back-to-back rounds in the 60s.

The other was his win at the 2020 U.S. Open.

Koepka records 8 birdies in second round

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.

Koepka sits at 7-under-par, five off the lead held by Xander Schauffele.

Tiger Woods finished the 2024 PGA Championship at 7-over-par.

He shot a 6-over 77 in his second round.

But Tiger finished the PGA at Valhalla, where he won this event in 2000, with a birdie on 18.

Woods hasn't made a cut at the PGA since 2020.

2024 Xander Schauffele, -12

Here comes Koepka

Brooks Koepka had a double bogey on the par-5 10th.

He's rallied with three birdies since, including one on the par-4 15th.

Koepka has seven birdies on the day and is four off the lead at 8-under-par.

What's at stake for Robert MacIntyre

Robert MacIntyre has never previously been in the top 20 entering the third round of a major.

Where PGA champions need to be after 36 holes

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.

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.

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.
