His three majors wins, including two at The Masters, can only be matched by some of the sport's most well-known stars, and he just keeps going.

When he does come out on top, the American star can often be seen celebrating with his family, including his wife and young son. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp From Scheffler's high school sweetheart, to his New Jersey-native parents, here's everything to know about those closest to the star golfer. MORE:Complete list of U.S. Open winners and payouts throughout history Scottie Scheffler wife: Meredith Scudder Long before Scottie Scheffler became world No. 1 in golf, he met his future wife, Meredith Scudder, in high school. Both being from Dallas, they began dating their senior year at Highland Park High School. "I had to woo her for a few years," Scheffler said with a laugh in 2023. While they met in high school, the couple spent some time apart in college. While Meredith attended Texas A&M, Scottie Scheffler went to the University of Texas, and they dated from a distance for all four years. '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 of Scottie. 'Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn't the most important thing about him.' The couple got married in December 2020. Photos from the wedding can be seen in Scheffler's 2023 anniversary Instagram post: Meredith is also in charge of curating opportunities for Behind Every Door (BED), a faith-based nonprofit which provides sport, educational and creative programs for youth in underdeveloped neighborhoods in the Dallas area. "I believe everyone has unique gifting. I love being part of an organization that is showing kids their giftings and giving them a chance to not only discover those gifts but see who God created them to be," Scudder told Veritex Community Bank for Essential Golf. Meredith can often be seen supporting Scottie Scheffler at his tournaments, whether walking the course with him or celebrating his wins. Scottie Scheffler son: Bennett Scheffler Scottie and Meredith Scheffler welcomed a son, Bennett, in May 2024. "Welcome to the world little one," Scheffler wrote in an Instagram post. "Your mom & dad love you so much." "I can't really describe the feeling of dreaming of just coming and playing on the PGA Tour, to be sitting at home with the girl I dated in high school with our child and then the Green Jacket sitting in the closet is a pretty insane feeling, and I just wanted to be as thankful as possible," Scheffler said after his son was born, per National Club Golfer. MORE:Every British Open winner in history, from Rory McIlroy to Tiger Woods Scottie Scheffler mother: Diane Scheffler Scheffler's mother is Diane Scheffler, who grew up in Park Ridge, New Jersey. Until Scheffler was six years old, the family lived in New Jersey, where his father is also from. They later moved to Dallas. Scheffler said in 2023 that growing up, his mom was the one "who was working and supporting our family financially, which I would say is a little bit different." She worked as a business manager at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates in the 1980s, according to People, then later became a Chief Operating Officer at various law firms, including Thompson & Knight LLP, Troutman Sanders LLP and Foley Hoag LLP. Currently, she is a consultant for Scout's East Coast Ranch in New York City. In his 2024 Masters speech, Scheffler thanked both of his parents. "To my parents, thank you for taking me to way too many golf tournaments as a kid. I love y'all both very much," he said. "I can't put into words what it means to have your support out here, win or lose. I love y'all." Scottie Scheffler father: Scott Scheffler Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. Because of Diane's job, Scott was often the one at home, which Scottie told AP in 2022 that he "didn't know any different." "It's just what you do as a father for your children ... I've done for all of them. They've given us great joy," Scott Scheffler told AP in 2022. "[Scottie's] the one that did all the hard work, not me. I just raised him and tried the best I could to be a good dad.' Scott Scheffler, who often watches his sons tournaments in-person alongside Diane, has spoken of his son's accomplishments plenty of times in the past. 'I used to wonder, 'Can Scottie really be that good at his craft, at the game of golf?' And he is. He truly has been given a gift and he uses it," Scott told the New York Post in April 2023. "It does surprise me ... He's my child. He's my son. Sometimes you just say to yourself, 'Wow.' ' MORE:Why is the Masters always at Augusta National? Scottie Scheffler sisters: Callie, Molly, and Sara Scheffler has three sisters, the oldest of whom is Callie. She was born in 1994, while Scottie was born in 1996. '[Callie] was the classic first child. She felt a responsibility to look after her younger brother when she caddied for him in all those big junior tournaments," Scottie's manager, Rocky Hambric, told Power Fades of Callie and Scottie in April 2023. When Scottie competed in the 2016 U.S. Open as an amateur, Callie was his caddie. She played collegiate golf at Texas A&M, and Callie now has two children with her husband, Andrew. Diane and Scott also welcomed two more daughters, Molly and Sara. Molly, who also went to Texas A&M, now works for the PGA Tour as a communications specialist, per her LinkedIn. More specifically, she currently works in "Player & Agent Communications." Sara, like Scottie, graduated from the University of Texas and recently got married.

PGA Tour Had No Words for Scottie Scheffler and Son Bennett Moment
PGA Tour Had No Words for Scottie Scheffler and Son Bennett Moment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler arrived at Oakmont Country Club this week expecting to contend, but the U.S. Open layout has proved far more punishing than he'd anticipated. After an opening 73 and a follow‑up 71, Scheffler carded an even‑par 70 in Saturday's third round, leaving him at 4‑over‑par through 54 holes and firmly off the pace, eight shots behind leader Sam Burns. Advertisement The world No. 1 admitted, 'Am I in the position I had hoped to be after three days? Obviously not,' highlighting just how tough Oakmont's rough and lightning‑fast greens have been this week. Amid moving day, television cameras captured a tender scene on the driving range. Scheffler and his son, Bennett, shared some heartwarming moments. The infant reached for a club, mimicked a swing from his seated spot, and drew laughter from onlookers as commentators marveled at his 'stance' and 'follow‑through.' Posting this moment on social media, PGA Tour had no words except a simple red heart "❤️." Scottie Scheffler plays his shot from the first tee during the third round.© Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Off the course, Scheffler's family remains his bedrock. He and Meredith Scudder, high‑school sweethearts who married in December 2020, welcomed Bennett in May 2024. Advertisement Scheffler also shares a good relationship with the solo leader, Sam Burns. When the two recently shared a rental house, Burns told 'It's a lot more fun now coming home to the boys and just kind of hanging out with them and playing with them and watching them, it's great entertainment.' "Scottie's obviously an incredible player," Burns said during an interview at the U.S. Open. "I don't think I need to say that (laughing). But I think we obviously spend a lot of time together and being able to talk to him and just kind of learn from him and ask him questions, it's been really cool."
