Scottie Scheffler’s Masters Surprise: Baby No. 2 Is Here — Sex Revealed
Baby steals the spotlight at Augusta as Scottie Scheffler and wife Meredith Scudder introduce their 9-day-old son Remy to the Masters crowd, a tender moment before the hunt for the green jacket kicks off.
Scottie Scheffler showed up to Augusta with the ultimate plus-one: his brand-new baby. Nine days after he and his wife, Meredith Scudder, welcomed their second son, the World No. 1 introduced little Remy to the crowd ahead of Masters week. Not exactly your standard pre-tournament warm-up, but as far as family reveals go, bringing a newborn to Magnolia Lane is a flex.
The Masters meet-cute (with a 9-day-old)
AP golf writer Doug Ferguson flagged the moment on Sunday, April 5, noting that Remy was already taking in the scene at Augusta National. The Masters itself is set for Thursday through Sunday, April 9–12. If you are mentally counting backward: yes, Remy arrived on March 27, which lines up with that '9 days old' detail.
Scheffler, 29, told the AP that they simply liked the name Remy. His exact vibe on the name search: "We just liked it. We didn't have very many good boy names, to be honest with you."
Remy joins big brother Bennett, who was born in May 2024 — just a few weeks after Scheffler grabbed his second green jacket. And if that earlier 'poop all over his back' tournament-ceremony headline just flashed in your brain, you are not imagining it; parenthood does not care about tee times.
Where golf fits into all this
End of March, Scheffler abruptly pulled out of the Houston Open with the birth incoming. Now that Remy is here, he is expected back on the tee box for the Masters, and he swears the competitive edge is still there even after dad duty: "I've been practicing. I've been able to do a good amount at home."
For the golf-nerd file: according to the AP, the most recent player to win the Masters after taking three weeks off was Adam Scott in 2013. So the precedent exists, it is just not common.
Quick timeline
- Mar 27: Remy Scheffler is born.
- End of Mar: Scheffler withdraws from the Houston Open with the birth imminent.
- Sun, Apr 5: AP notes Remy, nine days old, getting introduced at Augusta.
- Apr 9–12: The Masters runs Thursday through Sunday.
- Context: Bennett, the first son, arrived in May 2024, weeks after Scheffler's second Masters win.
- Stat check: The last Masters champ to win after three weeks off was Adam Scott in 2013.
Family really is the headline
Scheffler has always been clear about his priorities. He loves the job. He loves his family more. He said it plainly in June 2025, and it still hits like a mission statement:
"I love being a father. I love being able to take care of my son. I love being able to provide for my family out here playing golf. Every day when I wake up early to go put in the work, my wife thanks me for going out and working so hard."
"When I get home, I try and thank her every day for taking care of our son. It is why I talk about family being my priority, because it really is. I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf. But if golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, that is going to be the last day that I play out here for a living."
So yes, Scheffler is back chasing another green jacket. But the headline is pretty simple: the Schefflers are a family of four now, and Remy has already made his Augusta debut before most babies meet the pediatrician twice. Not a bad start.
