Netflix acquired additional footage of Scheffler's arrest, including bodycam footage.

"I'm terribly sorry. I'm just trying to get to my tee time. I'll keep my arms back there, I promise," Scheffler said as he was handcuffed.

Other footage shows Scheffler asking someone to "please help" him, and he asked another officer if they were "able to just talk for a second."

"Are you guys aware that I'm playing in the golf tournament?" Scheffler added. Apparently, one officer was not.

"I assume you're pretty good if you're playing in the PGA," an officer said.

Scheffler humbly replied, "Yeah, I'm all right."

"I'll be honest. I didn't think this was a position I'd ever be in," Scheffler told an officer on his way back to Valhalla.

"Usually, people never do," the officer replied.

Scheffler even cracked a joke that he only wanted mouthwash, as "I try not to drink too much before I go play golf at 8 a.m."

"I didn't know you were the No. 1 in the world right now. You're too casual to be No. 1 player in the world," an officer said while escorting Scheffler to the course.

"I think that's why they're so surprised I was arrested," the golfer replied.

Scheffler was later booked and released and made it to the course with time to spare.

"I was freaking out because I somehow went from driving to the golf course to a jail cell, and I still don't really know how that happened exactly. I don't think it really ever felt real," Scheffler told producers for the documentary.

Less than two weeks later, all the charges against Scheffler were dropped. And he casually shot a 66 just hours after his arrest. He sputtered a bit in his final two rounds, but he still managed to tie for eighth at 13-under for the weekend.
