Scottie Scheffler, the world number one golfer, brought some lightheartedness to the anticipation surrounding his participation in the PGA Championship with a playful joke directed at reporters upon his arrival at Valhalla. With his wife Meredith’s due date looming, there were doubts about Scheffler’s availability for the tournament, but those concerns were put to rest when the couple joyously announced the birth of their baby boy, Bennett, just 24 hours prior.
Despite the whirlwind of emotions that come with becoming a new father, Scheffler managed to sneak in some time for practice on Monday, hitting balls on the practice ground and playing a few holes with his caddie, Ted Scott. Reflecting on the life-changing event, Scheffler humorously quipped to Golf Channel, “If anybody has got any diaper advice, I could use it.” His jest added a touch of levity to the situation, showcasing his down-to-earth nature amidst the excitement of impending fatherhood.
Having taken a three-week break from competitive play, skipping the Wells Fargo Championship, Scheffler assured fans that he’s been diligently preparing for the PGA Championship. Despite the significant hiatus prompted by Bennett’s arrival, Scheffler wouldn’t trade the precious moments spent with his family for anything, relishing the opportunity to bond with Meredith and their newborn son.
Scheffler’s return to the golfing arena comes amidst a remarkable streak, as he seeks his fifth win in just six starts. From his victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to his recent triumph at the RBC Heritage, Scheffler’s dominance on the course has been undeniable. His witty remark about Sawgrass being the “fifth” major added a touch of humor to his impressive run of success.
When questioned about maintaining focus amidst personal milestones and professional achievements, Scheffler stressed the importance of staying mentally present and committed to his game, regardless of external factors. Confident in his preparation, Scheffler eagerly anticipates the challenges that lie ahead in the PGA Championship, ready to showcase his skills on the grand stage of competitive golf.
