“World No.1 Golfer’s Baby News confirmed by sport reporter Bob Harig

Golf sensation Scottie Scheffler has welcomed a new addition to his family, as confirmed by sports reporter Bob Harig. The eagerly awaited arrival of Baby Scheffler, born to Scottie and his wife Meredith, means that the World No.1 golfer will be able to compete in the upcoming US PGA Championship at Valhalla.

While Scottie Scheffler typically keeps his personal life private, the news of his baby’s arrival broke through Harig’s tweet this afternoon, indicating that the couple’s first child has indeed been born. Despite no official confirmation from Team Scheffler, the tweet has set the golfing world abuzz with excitement.

Speculations had been rife as to when the baby would arrive, with Scheffler hinting during his Masters victory last month that Meredith’s due date was imminent. This news comes after Golfweek confirmed the Schefflers were still awaiting the birth as of last Thursday, and The Dallas Morning News also reported that Scheffler remained on baby watch this week.

Scheffler’s dedication to family was evident as he withdrew from this week’s Wells Fargo Championship to be by Meredith’s side during this special moment. He had previously made it clear that he would prioritize his family over tournament play should Meredith go into labor.

Looking ahead, Scheffler’s presence at Valhalla for the PGA Championship adds an extra layer of anticipation to the event. With his recent stellar performance on the PGA Tour, winning four of his last five starts, including the Masters, Scheffler is undoubtedly a favorite to secure his first US PGA title. His odds stand at a red-hot 7/2, making him a top contender for the championship.

As for the rest of the field, Rory McIlroy follows closely behind in the betting odds at 10/1, aiming to clinch his fifth major title. Meanwhile, LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka seeks to defend the US PGA title for a second time in his career, with Scheffler priced at 50/1 to potentially secure a grand slam victory in 2024.

While the golfing world eagerly awaits Scheffler’s performance at Valhalla, his focus remains on this new chapter in his life as he embraces fatherhood and takes some well-deserved time off from the PGA Tour to cherish these precious moments with his growing family.
