Scottie Scheffler hit a hole-in-one with his wife, Meredith Scudder.

“At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously,” Scudder toldGolf Digestof her husband.

The duo held off on taking their friendship to the next level for nearly three years and though she witnessed every step of Scheffler’s rise to fame, Scudder said even the most “amazing accomplishments” aren’t “the most important thing about him.”

Fans slowly grew familiar with Scudder from her tournament appearances leading up to Scheffler’s first Masters win in April 2022, evencaddying for himat one point during the weekend. More recently, thecouple was featuredon the third season of Netflix’s docuseriesFull Swing,which premiered in February 2025.

In April 2024, Schefflerearned his second Masters jacket— but Scudder wasn’t in the audience due to being nine months pregnant with the couple’s first child. “To my lovely wife, Meredith. I love you, sweetheart,” Scheffler said during his victory speech. “I’m excited to get home. I miss you.”

A few weeks later, Scudder gave birth to their son,Bennett.

So, who is Scottie Scheffler’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Meredith Scudder and her relationship with the pro golfer.

Hailing from Dallas, Scheffler and Scudder are childhood sweethearts. The duo first met as freshmen at Highland Park High School, but didn’t strike up a romance until their senior year.

“I had to woo her for a few years,” hejoked during a press conferencefor the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Their budding relationship was put to the ultimate test when they got accepted into rival colleges. Scudder went on to attend Texas A&M while her beau went off to the University of Texas.

They dated long-distance for all four years before getting engaged in 2020 when Scheffler popped the big question during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.

A high school senior, Scudder knew her boyfriend was pretty good at golf, but when she saw Scheffler in a commercial for a big golf tournament, she realized just how talented he is.

“I won the U.S. Junior in 2013 and in 2014 I had the opportunity to play in the Byron Nelson as a high school student,” Scheffler recalled to the media ahead of the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Upon confirming that he was playing in the big leagues that weekend, Scheffler said Scudder was pretty impressed. “She’s like, ‘Wow, that’s cool!’ "

She and Scheffler had a winter wonderland-themed wedding

The venue was decorated with garland, red bows and Christmas lights while attendees were given red Santa hats and snow to throw as the couple exited the ballroom. The newlyweds drove away in a golf cart adorned with a “Just Married” banner.

In December 2023, Scheffler and Scudder celebrated three years of marriage. “Here’s to year 3 - happy anniversary Mere!” the golfer wrote onInstagramalongside photos of the couple’s big day.

Scheffler will be the first to say he isn’t anything without his faith. The pro golfer has publicly spoken about being Christian numerous times and how he and Scudder lean on their faith during times of triumph and defeat.

He continued, “So what we talked about is that God is in control and that the Lord is leading me; and if today is my time, it’s my time. And if I shot 82 today, you know, somehow I was going to use it for His glory.”

During an appearance on theSports Spectrumpodcast in 2018, Scheffler explained how having “the God of the universe” with him “just makes things a lot easier to deal with.” In their daily life, Scheffler said they also look to “the principles of the Bible” as a form of manifesting.

She likes to tease Scheffler over his “very particular” Chipotle order

While Scheffler claims he’s got his Chipotle order down to a science, Scudder jokes it’s just a “very particular” way to get extra toppings.

In a video forGolf Digest, Scudder revealed her husband likes to order a bowl with “an extra scoop of rice” and “a little bit” of black beans. For protein, he asks for chicken, and then just as they go to move his bowl to the next station, he asks for steak, too.

“Because if you just say double meat, they don’t give you the full scoopage of both,” Scheffler explained. He skips salsa and lettuce, but opts for cheese on top.

Her favorite part about her husband’s Chipotle order, however, has to do with how he eats the bowl. The pro athlete refuses to eat his food with anything but a spoon. “You can’t use any other silverware or else it ‘doesn’t taste the same,’ " Scudder said, mimicking Scheffler with air quotes.

“No, no, no, no, no — people always eat their Chipotle with a fork, but they use it like a spoon!” Scheffler said in defense. “They spoon it, but with a fork. It doesn’t make any sense. Everyone else has got it wrong. I got it right with a spoon.”

She’s a director of curating opportunities for the nonprofit Behind Every Door

When she isn’t cheering on her husband on the golf course, Scudder is helping out at Behind Every Door (BED). She’s the director of curating opportunities at the nonprofit, an organization that provides sport, educational and creative programs for the youth in underdeveloped neighborhoods in the Dallas area.

“I believe everyone has unique gifting. I love being part of an organization that is showing kids their giftings and giving them a chance to not only discover those gifts but see who God created them to be,” Scuddertold Veritex Community BankforEssential Golf.

Scheffler often volunteers for BED, too. The nonprofit’s mission, which is rooted in spirituality, is one of the things that first attracted the couple.

“We love that it starts with listening. We don’t say, ‘This is what you need, this is what we’re here to give you,’ but rather, ‘We want to build a relationship with you and walk alongside you,’ " Scheffler explained.

She added: “Learning how BED goes about empowering kids and families to overcome poverty and build up their communities has been amazing. We love how relational it is and that the heart behind everything they do is the gospel, that is important to Scottie and me, as well.”

She didn’t know anything about golf before dating Scheffler

Scheffler has had to teach his wife a thing or two about his favorite sport.

During a press conference for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, Scheffler admitted Scudder didn’t understand much about golf in the early days of their relationship.

Albeit, after trailing his career and spending most of 2022 on the road with him, Scheffler said she’s starting to get the hang of it. “She’s learned fast,” he said, praising his wife. “She’s a student of the game. She’s come to learn it.”

Her genuine interest and willingness to learn has led to lots of bonding with his parents, too, Scheffler added. “She’s spent a lot of time around my parents who love golf. She’s learning.”
