His Son Stole the Show
Scottie Scheffler secured a commanding four-stroke victory at the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, finishing at 17-under (267) to claim his fourth major title and the third leg of the career Grand Slam.
As the world's top-ranked golfer for over 130 weeks, Scheffler has won four majors—the 2022 and 2024 Masters, the 2025 PGA Championship, and the 2025 Open Championship—solidifying his dominance in professional golf.
Despite all that, his son Bennett stole the show during the post-match celebration.
Following his major win, Scheffler celebrated with his wife, Meredith, and their 14-month-old son, Bennett, who charmed fans with an adorable attempt to join his father on the 18th green.
Bennett stumbled while trying to climb the slope but was quickly scooped up by Scheffler, creating a heartwarming moment that went viral.

Scottie Scheffler Delivers All-Time Quote on the Importance of Family
Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer, delivered a profound reflection at a press conference before the 2025 Open Championship, where he emphasized that his family, not golf, is his true priority.
'Is it great to be able to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf? Yeah, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about because I've literally worked my entire life to be good at this sport,' Scheffler said.
'To have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling.'
He expressed that the fleeting euphoria of winning tournaments doesn't fulfill him deeply, however, as life quickly moves on to mundane moments, such as deciding what to eat for dinner.
'This (golf) is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart,' Scheffler added.
Scheffler stated he would retire from professional golf if it ever negatively impacted his relationship with his wife or son, underscoring that being a great father outweighs being a great golfer.
'I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf, but if my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living,' he concluded.
'Because I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. At the end of the day, that's what's more important to me.'
Scheffler's candid and emotional comments on the importance of being a great husband and father compared to being a great golfer garnered nearly six million views.
