Scottie Scheffler Welcomes Second Son Just Before the Masters

Expecting amid the Spring Swing

In early March, world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith announced they were expecting their second child. The news prompted Scheffler to withdraw from the Texas Children’s Hospital Houston Open, citing family reasons as the couple awaited the birth.

A surprise debut at Augusta

On April 5, the Schefflers arrived at Augusta National with a nine‑day‑old son, Remy. The newborn’s appearance turned heads on the first day of the 2026 Masters, and the Associated Press confirmed the surprise addition to the golfer’s entourage.

Balancing fatherhood and competition

Scheffler, who captured his second Masters title in 2024, now faces the challenge of defending his crown while navigating life as a dad of two. His eldest, Bennett, born in May 2024, has already been spotted with plastic clubs on the course.
