Report: PGA Tour golfer Erik Compton arrested, charged for domestic dispute in Florida


According to a report, a former PGA Tour player Erik Compton was arrested and taken to jail by Miami-Dade Police after a domestic dispute last weekend.

In a report from local station WSVN, Compton allegedly threw his wife into a wall and her cell phone into their pool during an argument at their house. Compton has been charged with domestic battery and strongarm robbery.

Compton was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy as a child and has undergone two heart transplants, one in 1992 when he was just 12 years old and another in 2008. A journeyman through professional golf, Compton has wins on the Korn Ferry Tour, Canadian Tour and former NGA Hooters Tour, but never broke through on the PGA Tour.

In two Tour starts this year, Compton finished T-29 at the Corales Puntacana Championship and T-63 at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He missed the cut in his lone pair of starts last season at the Honda Classic and Charles Schwab, and hasn’t played in more than two events since the 2015-16 season.
