Who is Scottie Scheffler's wife, Meredith?
Meredith Scudder was born in Texas, United States, on May 12, 1996.
She was raised by her mother, Michelle Scudder, and her father, Mark Scudder.
She grew up with two siblings — her brother Andrew and sister Stephanie.
In 2014, Scudder graduated from Highland Park High School, where she met long-term lover Scottie Scheffler.
Meredith took an instant liking to Scottie, explaining: "At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambience about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously.
"Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn't the most important thing about him."
After high school she attended Texas A&M University as a communication and business major.
She secured her Bachelor's degree in 2018.
Scheffler was born on June 21, 1996, in New Jersey, but his parents, Scott and Diane, moved the family to Dallas, Texas, when the golfing prodigy was seven.
The young sportsman had already discovered his talent by this time, explaining to Golf Digest: "In high school, I narrowed it down to just basketball and golf.
"My whole life, I knew how much I loved golf. It was the one sport I always wanted to be playing, regardless of the season."
While Scudder studied at A&M University, Scheffler attended their rivals, the University of Texas, but that didn't stop the pair from regularly visiting each other.
What is Meredith Scudder's history with Scottie Scheffler?
Scudder and Scheffler met at High School but didn't date until senior year.
They continued dating long-distance during their university years, before Scheffler popped the big question during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.
Meredith and Scottie tied the knot in a Winter Wonderland-themed wedding in 2020.
Prior to the big day, Scudder wrote on her Instagram: "YES! I can't believe God gave me my best friend to spend the rest of my life with, can't wait to be your wife, Scottie!!!!
"Blown away at the Lord's faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET'S] DO THIS!!"
The couple officially tied the knot on December 4, 2020, at Arlington Hall in Dallas, after dating for six years.

What does Meredith do now?
Scudder is the co-founder, vice president, and event planner for With Purpose College Station — a company that supports the lives of those affected by childhood cancer.
Alongside that, the American is also an ambassador of the nutrition organisation Juice Plus.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson gets 4-year, $52M extension
July 27 - The Dallas Cowboys signed Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million contract extension on Sunday, making him the highest-paid tight end in franchise history. The deal includes $30 million guaranteed for Ferguson, who was due to earn $3.4 million in the final year of his rookie contract in 2025. Ferguson, 26, caught 59 passes for 494 yards with no touchdowns in 14 games (all starts) for the Cowboys last season. The 2022 fourth-round draft pick made the Pro Bowl in 2023 and has 149 receptions for 1,429 yards and seven TDs in 47 career games (38 starts). According to the Cowboys, Ferguson becomes the seventh-highest paid tight end in the NFL and the extension also frees up $1.8 million toward the team's 2025 salary cap. Although Dallas has locked up a key piece of its offense, All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons still is waiting for his payday as the team prepares for its Sept. 4 season opener at defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. The announcement about Ferguson's deal on the team's website said Cowboys co-owner and COO Stephen Jones considers the training camp site in Oxnard, Calif., a "friendly ground for getting contracts one, so Dallas may not be done just yet." --Field Level Media

Lottie Woad wins the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open
With another performance of purpose and poise over a testing, gusty Dundonald Links, the unflappable Woad marked her first event as a professional with victory in the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open. Over 72-holes, Woad leaked just three shots and her closing four-under 68 gave her a 21-under aggregate and a three-shot win over Hyo Joo Kim of Korea. After her six-shot victory as an amateur at the Women's Irish Open at the start of July, as well as a third-place finish in a major at the Evian Championship the following week, this was another significant statement of intent from a truly special talent. As she marched off the final green, having put the tin lid on another thrilling conquest, she was greeted with a triumphant skirl of the pipes. Perhaps a rehashing of a tune from the Beethoven collection would've been more appropriate. Woad to Joy, anyone? No, I thought not. A week ago at The Open, we were all waxing lyrical about the calm, composed feats of a man called Scottie. On Sunday at Dundonald, it was a Lottie that everybody was talking about after her serene march to glory. Leading by two heading into the final round, Woad staved off the menacing advances of Kim with a terrific display of frontrunning golf. Even when Kim drew level at the top for a spell, Woad remained unflustered and upped the ante with a clinical burst of back-to-back birdies as she neared the closing stretch. 'It's very special to win in my first event as a professional and it's quite hard to do that,' said the former world amateur No 1. 'Everyone was chasing me today, but I managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch. 'I'd played a lot of majors and pro events before this, so it wasn't all new. Those experiences helped.' The final day developed into a two-horse race as Woad and the experienced Kim separated themselves from the rest. Woad cemented her place at the top with a couple of birdies at the second and third while Kim, playing in the match ahead, made a telling thrust with four birdies in her opening seven holes to bolster her assault on the title. A major winner back in 2014, and a multiple champion on both the LPGA Tour and her native Korean circuit down the years, Kim tried her best to put the pressure on as she nibbled into Woad's advantage. Not that Woad paid much attention to her push, mind you. 'I didn't really know the score for most of the back nine,' admitted Woad. Having briefly manoeuvred her way into a share of the lead just after the turn, Kim's hopes suffered a damaging dunt as she stumbled to a brace of bogeys at 15 and 16. Woad's little flurry of birdies gave her a three-shot lead and despite spilling her only shot of the day on the 16th, the former Curtis Cup player didn't let that slip faze her. With a two-shot cushion playing the last, Woad plotted her way safely up the fairway then flicked a wedge into a couple of feet of the flag to set up a birdie which gilded the lily. 'I felt pretty good going down 18 because I knew I had a two-shot lead and just hit an 80-yard lay-up and an 80-yard shot,' she said of her stress-free meander up the closing par-5. 'I felt pretty confident coming down there.' During her shimmering summer, Woad has forfeited around £480,000 in prize money due to her amateur status. Now that she's a professional, she could finally shove a cheque into her pocket. 'I don't even know what the winner gets,' she said with a smile. How does £223,000 sound, Lottie? 'A lot of people have talked about me not winning any money,' she added. 'I knew going into all the events (as an amateur) that I wasn't going to win any money. It didn't make too much difference. 'I knew if I kept playing how I was, then it would all work out.' Kim's 68 gave her second place on 18-under, four shots ahead of Julia Lopez Ramirez and Sei Young Kim who shared third. Nelly Korda, the world No 1 who was making her first appearance in the Women's Scottish Open, signed off with a 71 for 13-under while Gemma Dryburgh, the only Scot to make the cut, finished down the field on seven-over. All roads now lead to Porthcawl for this week's AIG Women's Open, the final major of the season. Woad will hurtle into south Wales on the crest of a wave.
