Scottie Scheffler Returns to Augusta Days After Son’s Birth to Chase Third Green Jacket

The world No. 1 expects firm, fast greens, signaling a practice-heavy return.

Overview

  • Scheffler, who spoke Tuesday at Augusta, said he is getting plenty of sleep as wife Meredith manages newborn Remy’s schedule so he can focus on golf.
  • He has not played since The Players in early March and withdrew from the Houston Open on March 27 to be present for Remy’s birth.
  • He described Augusta National as shaping up “firm and fast” this week and said quick greens raise the challenge, so he is logging extra range work to adjust.
  • His wife, sons Bennett and Remy, and parents are at Augusta, with reports saying his father recently broke his pelvis and will use a walker or scooter to attend.
  • A two-time Masters champion and the world’s top-ranked player, Scheffler is bidding for a third green jacket, and AFP notes a U.S. Open win in June would complete his career Grand Slam.
