According to the offense report, Glover and his wife were having an altercation after the third round of The Players Championship, where Glover shot 78. The report said that when his mother, Hershey Glover, tried to intervene, Krista Glover began attacking her.
The arresting officer noticed cuts and blood on the arms and clothing of Glover’s mother. Hershey Glover also told the deputy she had been hit in the chest. Glover confirmed on Twitter there was an altercation. “Everyone is fine,” Glover said. “Regrettably, although Krista was charged, we are comfortable that the judicial system is able to address what actually happened and Krista will be cleared in this private matter.”
The sheriff’s report said Glover’s mother declined to pursue charges.
The report said Glover told the deputy his wife often starts arguments with him after he plays poorly.
Glover has three PGA Tour victories, including the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.
