The star player for the St. Louis Cardinals welcomes their first child.
The first child of No. 1 overall golfer Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith Scheffler was born a few weeks after the latter’s second Masters triumph in three years.
After the birth of his child, Scheffler is anticipated to play in the PGA Championship, the second major of the season, according to Sports Illustrated’s
Nothing formal has been released by the Tour, Scottie Scheffler, or his team. However, he is said to be playing in the PGA at Valhalla next week, having won four of his previous five events, including the Masters. He is scheduled for an interview on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Over the weekend, Harig tweeted, “#babyborn.” Later, in a different post, she clarified that Meredith had really given birth, but she omitted any further information.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Scheffler is presently the favorite for the PGA Championship with +400 odds. Rory McIlroy, who won the Wells Fargo Championship this past weekend, is next with +700 odds. During her husband’s second career Masters victory last month, Meredith’s pregnancy was a major plot point, with rumors circulating that he would have withdrew from the competition had she given birth.
We haven’t noticed any early symptoms, so I wouldn’t say I’m particularly concerned about her going into labor, but pregnancy is strange and can happen at any time. Open channels of communication are important, and she can reach me if necessary, Scheffler stated during his opening round six-under performance at the 2024 Masters Tournament, as reported by the New York Post.
After Tiger Woods’ victories in 2001 and 2002, Scheffler became the second player to win the Masters twice while ranked No. 1 overall. After his first victory in 2022, Scheffler became the fifth player to win the Masters while ranked No. 1 overall, after Woods, Dustin Johnson (2020), Fred Couples (1992), and Ian Woosnam (1991). In addition, the 27-year-old became just the second player after Horton Smith in 1934 and 1936 to win two Masters in his first five starts.
