Scottie Scheffler, recent victor at the Masters, expressed a blend of jubilation and reflective priorities following his significant win at Augusta National. Overcoming Sweden’s new sensation, Ludvig Aberg, by four strokes, Scheffler not only claimed his second Green Jacket but also announced an imminent joyful addition to his family. Amid preparations for the upcoming US PGA Championship, Scheffler and his wife are anticipating their first child, which subtly shifts his life’s priorities.
Despite the upcoming changes, Scheffler affirmed his ongoing passion for competition: “I still love competing. I love winning. I hate losing.” Yet, after securing his latest Masters title, his immediate thoughts were with his wife, Meredith, who is soon due to give birth back in Texas. Scheffler shared his eagerness to return home and celebrate both his family’s new member and his recent victory.
This win marks Scheffler’s third in his last four tournaments and reaffirms his status as a top performer on the world stage, alongside golf legends like Tiger Woods. With his caddie Ted Scott by his side, who previously found success with Bubba Watson, Scheffler continues to demonstrate his exceptional talent in the sport, navigating the pressures and expectations with a strong resolve and a newly adjusted focus on family and faith.
