How did Scottie Scheffler meet his wife Meredith Scudder?

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.”

Shortly after his second Masters win in April 2024, Scheffler and wife Meredith welcomed their first child to the world. The world No.1 became a father to a baby boy called Bennett on May 8.

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.”

Meredith and Bennett have joined Scheffler at tournaments since, including when he won gold at the Olympics in Paris in August 2024.
