In a shocking turn of events, PGA Tour player Erik Compton found himself in hot water over the weekend when he was arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges related to an alleged domestic violence incident. The incident reportedly occurred during a heated argument between Compton and his wife, with the argument revolving around their relationship issues.According to reports, Compton's wife began recording the argument, which apparently didn't sit well with the golfer. In a fit of rage, Compton allegedly snatched the recording device from her hands and tossed it into the pool. He then proceeded to forcefully throw his wife into a wall, leaving bruises on her arm.
When questioned by authorities, Compton exercised his right to an attorney and refused to provide any further information on the matter. Subsequently, he was taken into custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami, but was later released on bond.
Compton, who has had a respectable career in golf with five top-10 finishes, including a second-place tie at the 2014 U.S. Open, has recently participated in two events during the 2022-23 PGA Tour season. However, this arrest may have a significant impact on his career and reputation moving forward.
A native of Miami and a former college golfer at the University of Georgia, Compton's actions have undoubtedly raised eyebrows within the golf community. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and what consequences Compton may face as a result of his alleged actions.
