Scottie Scheffler got arrested last season before the PGA Championship as a pedestrian was hit and killed on the same morning at the entrance of the Valhalla Golf Club. Scheffler faced second-degree assault and third-degree criminal charges for reckless driving but later, it was discovered that the vendor was struck by a shuttle bus and the charges were put down against the World No. 1.

In Netflix's Full Swing, the matter surfaced again and Scheffler had a say about the matter. His words were:

“I was freaking out because I went from driving into the golf course to a jail cell. I still don’t really know how that happened, exactly.”

After Rory McIlroy bogeyed the final hole, he knew only Bryson DeChambeau repeating the same thing would keep his US Open hopes alive. But, luck didn't favor the Irishman and DeChambeau parred the last hole to win the PGA Championship title. McIlroy kept staring at the scoring board as long as DeChambeau made the final putt. Following that, he exited the venue accompanied by his caddie Harry Diamond, without talking to anyone. Finally, McIlroy opened up about it in the latest episode of Netflix's Full Swing and said:

“I didn’t want to speak to anyone, didn’t want to see anyone…I just wanted to get on the plane and go home…As crushing as a defeat that I have had, it was probably the toughest finish to a tournament I’ve ever had. So I did everyone a favour by getting out of there.”

Amanda Balionis shared in Netflix's Full Swing that Min Woo Lee was unconventional as compared to most of the golfers as Lee was light-hearted by nature and didn't possess the typical golfer attributes like being quiet and conservative. Her words were:

"I think Min Woo Lee is every Gen Z’er. So he is so much more relatable than maybe what most people think of when they think of a professional golfer - conservative, quiet, introverted. Min Woo Lee is not that guy, and fans have absolutely fallen in love with this kid."

She also shared how the golf world awaited a breakthrough from Lee to watch him get to a higher level in the golf industry.
