AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 5 : Scottie Scheffler put to rest any concern he might miss the Masters for the birth of his second child as the twice champion was at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday with his wife and two sons, the latter born just last week.
According to the PGA Tour's website, world number one Scheffler warmed up for an afternoon practice round at Augusta National as his wife Meredith and firstborn child Bennett watched on and the golfer's parents had newborn Remy in a stroller nearby.
Scheffler pulled out of his Masters tune-up event in Houston due to family reasons, leading some to wonder if the wait for the newest addition to his family could get in the way of his bid for a fifth major title.
Prior to the 2024 Masters, Scheffler said he would leave the tournament, even if he was leading, if he got the call that his wife went into labor. He went on to win that year for his second Masters triumph after earning his first Green Jacket in 2022.
