In a heartwarming turn of events, Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, and his wife Meredith have welcomed their first child ahead of the highly anticipated US PGA Championship at Valhalla. While the Scheffler camp has yet to make an official announcement, acclaimed golf reporter Bob Harig confirmed the joyous news, sending waves of excitement throughout the golfing community.
