Australian golfer Robert Allenby has claimed that he was kidnapped from a bar in Hawaii, then robbed and beaten, before he was dumped in a park.
Allenby said that he might have been drugged before he was taken from the bar on Friday.
Allenby, who was helped back to his hotel by a retired military man, said that he didn't believe he was going to survive this one, the BBC reported.
After missing the cut at the US PGA Tour's Sony Open, the golfer had been planning to fly out of Hawaii.
Local television said that the incident was being investigated as second-degree robbery.
Allenby claimed that he was separated from his friend in the bar after they had paid the tab and he went to the bathroom and next thing he knows is that he was being dumped in a park miles away.
Allenby, who is ranked 271 in the world and has won four titles on the elite PGA Tour, claimed that a homeless woman spotted him being dumped from a car, after being robbed of his phone and wallet. He claimed that the military veteran paid for a taxi for him back to the hotel.
