Scottie Scheffler has revealed he would retire from professional golf if his career ever harmed his relationship with his wife Meredith and their children. The world No.1, preparing for the Masters at Augusta National, said family comes first.
The two-time Masters champion and his wife recently welcomed their second son, Remy, who joins older brother Bennett. Scheffler admitted he questioned his career before last year's Open, stating: 'If my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living.'
Scheffler emphasised that being a great father is more important than being a great golfer. 'This is not the be-all and end-all,' he said. 'I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer.'
Speaking about the new arrival, the 29-year-old said his wife Meredith had brought the boys to the Masters, adding: 'My wife is a trooper.' He explained the name Remy was chosen simply because they liked it.
Scheffler is aiming for his third green jacket this weekend, having won in 2022 and 2024. He remains focused on his family's well-being, with Meredith, Bennett, and Remy watching on.
