Golfer Scotte Scheffler Announces Birth of 2nd Baby at Masters
Scottie Scheffler and his wife, Meredith Scudder, welcomed a second baby boy into their family — and what better place to make the announcement than the iconic Masters Tournament?
Scheffler introduced his 9-day-old son, Remy, to the Augusta National crowd ahead of the coveted tournament, according to a Sunday, April 5, report from Associated Press golf writer Doug Ferguson.
The Masters is scheduled to run from Thursday, April 9 until Sunday, April 12.
“Another boy for the Schefflers (Remy),” Ferguson posted via X. “The little fella is 9 days old and already at the Masters.”
After winning his second consecutive Memorial Tournament, Scottie Scheffler had a sentimental — and potentially smelly — celebration. Scheffler, 28, took home the Memorial title at the Muirfield Village Country Club in Dublin, Ohio, on Sunday, June 1, joining Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back champions in the event’s history. In the euphoric aftermath, Scheffer’s […]
Scheffler, 29, told the Associated Press that Remy was born on March 27.
“We just liked it,” Scheffler said about his newborn son’s name. “We didn’t have very many good boy names, to be honest with you.”
He and Scudder also have another son, Bennett, who was born in May 2024. Bennett was born just weeks after Scheffler won his second Masters tournament.

At the end of March, the World No. 1 golfer abruptly withdrew from the Houston Open tournament due to the imminent birth of his son. Now that Remy has officially been welcomed into the fold, Scheffler is expected to return to the tee box in time to compete for another Masters title.
He told the AP that, despite having some time off over the last few weeks, he’s found ways to stay sharp.
“I’ve been practicing,” Scheffler said. “I’ve been able to do a good amount at home.”
Scottie Scheffler has given credit to wife Meredith Scheffler throughout his golf career. The couple met when they were teenagers attending Highland Park High School in Texas and then exchanged vows in December 2020. In April 2022, Meredith caddied for her husband during the Par 3 Contest ahead of the 86th Masters Tournament at Augusta […]
According to the Associated Press, the last player to win the Masters after having three weeks off is Adam Scott, who won the tournament in 2013.
Scheffler has separated his personal life with his golf life, but has spoken on the importance of being a dad.
“I love being a father,” he said in June 2025. “I love being able to take care of my son. I love being able to provide for my family out here playing golf. Every day when I wake up early to go put in the work, my wife thanks me for going out and working so hard.”
He continued, “When I get home, I try and thank her every day for taking care of our son. It’s why I talk about family being my priority, because it really is. I’m blessed to be able to come out here and play golf. But if golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, that’s going to be the last day that I play out here for a living.”
