She faces court on May 31st on misdemeanour charges of domestic violence battery and resisting arrest without violence.
According to the offence 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, who told the officer she had been hit in the chest.
Glover confirmed on Twitter there was an altercation, but added: “Everyone is fine.”
The sheriff’s report said Glover’s mother declined to pursue charges.
