Scottie Scheffler arrives at Augusta National for the Masters with 9-day-old son, Remy

6 days ago 4

Remy Scheffler may just be the youngest person to ever make it onto the grounds at Augusta National.

Scottie Scheffler rolled into the iconic Georgia golf course on Sunday, days ahead of this year’s Masters tournament, with his entire family by his side. That included Remy, who was only born nine days ago.

“We just liked it,” Scheffler said about his new son’s name, via The Associated Press.

“We didn’t have very many good boy names, to be honest with you.”

Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the world, withdrew from the Houston Open two weeks ago. He revealed on Sunday that his wife, Meredith, gave birth to their second child on March 27.

While Remy is just nine days old, he was spotted being pushed in a stroller by Meredith near the clubhouse on Sunday — a day when past champions of the tournament get to play the course with a guest of their choosing, and the annual Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals took place. Scheffler opted to play the round with his longtime manager Blake Smith.

Scheffler’s first son, Bennett, was born in 2024 ahead of the PGA Championship. Scheffler finished T8 that week in Louisville, which also came after an incident in which he was arrested outside of the course.

Scheffler opened this season with a win at The American Express in January, and he backed it up with two top five finishes in his next two starts. Scheffler hasn’t finished worse than T24 this season, though he’s not played since The Players Championship almost a month ago.

Scheffler, though, is the early betting favorite on BetMGM. He was listed as a +550 favorite on Sunday, well ahead of Bryson DeChambeau at +1000.

While he’s had some time off, Scheffler is still confident about his game entering the first major championship of the season.

“I’ve been practicing,” he said. “I’ve been able to do a good amount at home.”
