At long last, Scottie and Meredith Scheffler are proud parents. On Monday—after weeks of waiting—Scheffler announced the birth of his son Bennett on Instagram. Bennett arrived on May 8, eight days before the start of the year’s second major, leaving Scheffler with conflicted emotions as he departed for Valhalla this week.
With a Players Championship and green jacket already under his belt in 2024, however, Scheffler couldn’t ignore the call of duty. The World No. 1 has a chance to make history this week, and will answer the bell, if somewhat reluctantly. On Monday evening, Scheffler revealed what he told his son before leaving for Louisville, and we’re sure every new parent on the planet can relate.
