How did the couple meet?

Scottie Scheffler and Meredith Scudder first met in high school but went separate ways for university, as Scheffler attended the University of Texas whilst he progressed through the college golf ranks.

The pair dated long-distance at first and maintained their relationship through university.

In June 2020, Scheffler proposed on a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas. The couple then had a Winter Wonderland-themed wedding in December 2020.

“At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously,” Meredith told Golf Digest. “Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn’t the most important thing about him.”

After winning for the second time at Augusta National in 2024, Scheffler sent a heartfelt message to his wife, who was expecting a child at the time.

“I’m coming home,” he said in Butler’s Cabin. “I’ll be home as quick as I can. I love you and I’m coming home.

“I can’t put into words what it means to win this tournament again and I really can’t put into words what it’s going to be like to be a father for the first time.

“Looking forward to getting home and celebrating with Meredith, it’s been a long week without her.”
