Scottie Scheffler is the No.1 ranked golfer in the world and just won his third golf major championship on Sunday in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
While his golf game is well known, not so much is about the 28 year old’s personal life off the course.

They met while at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas. Then Meredith Scudder is a Texas native, while Scottie was born in New Jersey and didn’t move to the state until he was 6 years old.
Meredith knew he was good in high school. Scheffler tells the story about how she learned he was really good:
“I won the U.S. Junior in 2013 and in 2014 I had the opportunity to play in the Byron Nelson as a high school student,” Scheffler recalled. He would go on, “I was at [Meredith’s] house one day, we were hanging out with her dad or something, and the commercial came on TV. And she was kind of looking around. She was like, ‘Wait a minute, isn’t that next weekend? Isn’t that what you’re doing?’”
After learning he was playing with the big boys that weekend, Scottie said, “She’s like, ‘Wow, that’s cool!’ “
The couple wed in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak in December of 2020 in what’s describe as a “Winter Wonderland” themed wedding. Here’s a picture Scottie shared on their third anniversary.
Meredith gave birth to son Bennett on May 8 — just celebrating his first birthday with this picture:
She’s the Director of Curating Opportunities at Behind Every Door (BED), which is “a Christian community center organization in Dallas that provides programs for children and young adults in underdeveloped neighborhoods.” She’s also an ambassador for the nutrition company Juice Plus.
