Scottie Scheffler’s wife could cause him to withdraw from Masters

Scottie Scheffler, the current leader at the Masters, faces a potentially life-changing moment off the course as his wife, Meredith Scheffler, is expected to go into labor soon. Despite his commanding position in the tournament alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Max Homa, Scheffler has made it clear that family comes first.

With his wife unable to join him in Georgia for the Masters, Scheffler knows he may have to make a quick exit to be by her side in Dallas, Texas. Even if he’s on the 17th hole on the final day, Scheffler has stated he’ll leave as soon as he gets the call.

“It’s going to be pretty wild,” Scheffler expressed earlier this year about the impending arrival of their first child. “I don’t think it’s hit either of us quite yet, but it’s an exciting time for us as a family.”

The decision to prioritize family over golf is one Scheffler doesn’t take lightly. “I think first child wins over many things in my life,” he told reporters, emphasizing his commitment to being there for the birth.

While Scheffler’s focus remains on the Masters, the possibility of becoming a father adds another layer of anticipation and excitement to his journey. With his wife’s due date approaching, Scheffler’s performance on the course takes on even greater significance as he balances the pursuit of a second green jacket with the imminent arrival of his first child.

As Scheffler continues to excel at Augusta, his dedication to both his professional career and his growing family serves as a testament to his character both on and off the course. While the outcome of the tournament hangs in the balance, Scheffler’s unwavering commitment to his wife and future child shines through, regardless of the final result.
