Who is Scottie Scheffler's wife? Meet Meredith Scudder

Scottie Scheffler is one of the best golfers in the world but there are a number of reasons behind his success. 

Just one of those reasons is the support of his loving wife Meredith Scudder, who has been by his side since he made his PGA Tour debut. 

Scheffler and Meredith grew up in Texas. They met at Highland Park High School but it was not until college that they started dating. 

Interestingly, Scheffler, 27, was attending the University of Texas whilst Meredith was studying at the rival University of Texas A&M.

They maintained a long-distance relationship and Scheffler regularly visited his girlfriend on campus. They both graduated in 2018.

He proposed to Meredith, who shares the same age as her husband, at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in June 2020.

Meredith has been a huge supporter of Scheffler's career and she has been there for many of his best moments.

She carried his bag during the Masters Par 3 contest before he went on to win the green jacket in 2022. 

After his maiden major win, Scheffler spoke of how he became so overwhelmed before the final round he "cried like a baby" in Meredith's arms. 

Scheffler and Meredith announced in late 2023 they were expecting to become parents for the first time.

Meredith's due date coincided with the playing of the 2024 Masters at Augusta National. 

Scheffler took the 54-hole lead and claimed throughout the major he would leave at a moment's notice to be by Meredith's side if her waters broke.

Fortunately for Scheffler, he did not have to hot-foot it away from Augusta National and he won his second green jacket. 

On 8 May, Meredith gave birth to their son Bennett. 

Their baby boy was born a week before the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. 

Scheffler cracked dad jokes upon his arrival after his appearance at the major was in doubt. 

Earlier that week, he shared an image of his son on social media. 

He captioned the post: "Welcome to the world little one. Your mom & dad love you so much." 

What Scottie Scheffler said about Meredith before winning the 2022 Masters:

"I was sitting there telling Meredith, I don't think I'm ready for this. I'm not ready, I don't feel like I'm ready for this kind of stuff, and I just felt overwhelmed.

"She told me, 'Who are you to say that you are not ready? Who am I to say that I know what's best for my life?'

"And so what we talked about is that God is in control and that the Lord is leading me; and if today is my time, it's my time.

"And if I shot 82 today, you know, somehow I was going to use it for his glory. Gosh, it was a long morning. It was long."

When did they get married? 

The couple had a winter wonderland themed wedding in December 2020. 

Their service took place at Arlington Hall in Dallas, Texas. 

Do they have children?

Yes. Meredith gave birth to their son Bennett on 8 May 2024. 

Anything else about the couple?

They are are both Christians. 

They are also both huge fans of The Office. 

Scheffler and Meredith appeared in the first season of the Netflix documentary Full Swing.
