He is already one of the best players of his generation and a two-time Masters champion – but who is Scottie Scheffler’s wife?

Scottie Scheffler’s wife is Meredith Scudder, who is his childhood sweetheart as the pair have been together since their high school days.

Both from Texas, Scheffler and Scudder tied the knot in 2020 after being in a relationship for six years.

Meredith has been with Scheffler every step of the way on his golfing journey from the unknown to major champion and US Ryder Cup star.

She is regularly spotted at tournaments and has celebrated with Scheffler after some of his finest moments on the golf course.

Meredith also gave birth to the couple’s first child – a boy named Bennett – on May 8, 2024.

How did Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith meet?

Scottie Scheffler and his wife 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.”

Shortly after his second Masters win in April 2024, Scheffler and wife Meredith welcomed their first child to the world. He became a father to Bennett who has been spotted after golf tournaments.

Scheffler skipped the Genesis Scottish Open in July, 2024, to spend some much needed time with his wife and son.

“I’ve played the Scottish the last few years and it’s a great tournament, and I was sad not to be able to play the event this year, but it was important for me just to be at home and rest,” he said.

“I hadn’t had a good stretch at home since Bennett had been born, so it was nice for Meredith and I just to be at home, enjoy time with the family, go on vacation and rest up for the rest of the season.”

Scheffler’s son Bennett was on hand to see his dad win gold at the Olympics in Paris in August 2024 – as well as his victories at the PGA Championship and the Memorial Tournament in 2025.
