The golf world is celebrating today after PGA Tour star Scottie Scheffler announced that he and his wife, Meredith Scudder, are expecting their second child. The reigning world number one took to social media to share the heartfelt news, revealing not only the baby’s gender but also the name the couple has lovingly chosen.
In his post, Scheffler wrote, “Meredith and I are overjoyed to share that our family is growing. We can’t wait to meet our sweet baby girl, Emma Grace Scheffler. We already love her more than words can describe.” The announcement was accompanied by a warm photograph of the couple, hand in hand, with Meredith cradling her baby bump and their first child smiling beside them.
The news quickly spread across the golfing community and beyond, with fans, fellow players, and sports organizations sending their congratulations. Messages poured in from all over the world, many praising Scheffler for his openness and the love he shows for his family. “What a beautiful blessing! Congratulations to you both,” wrote fellow golfer Jordan Spieth, while the PGA Tour’s official account posted, “The Scheffler family is growing! We can’t wait to meet baby Emma.”
Scottie and Meredith, who have been together since high school, tied the knot in 2020 in a ceremony filled with close friends, family, and lots of laughter. The couple welcomed their first child, a boy named Caleb James, in 2022. Scheffler has often spoken publicly about how fatherhood changed his perspective on life and golf, highlighting that his family’s love and support kept him grounded, even in the high-pressure environment of professional sports.
The timing of the announcement comes during an exciting period in Scheffler’s career. After a series of strong performances in 2025, including multiple top finishes and a recent tournament victory, the golfer has been balancing his competitive schedule with family commitments. In interviews, he emphasized that no trophy can match the joy of coming home to his wife and child — and soon, two children.
Fans have speculated on whether the new arrival might influence Scheffler’s tournament appearances later in the year, but the golfer brushed aside any concerns, smiling as he said, “Family comes first. Golf will always be here, but these moments with my wife and kids are once-in-a-lifetime.”
As for Meredith, she shared her excitement about becoming a mother of two. In her own post, she wrote, “I feel so blessed to carry this little life and to watch Caleb become a big brother. Our hearts are overflowing.”
With a new chapter about to begin for the Scheffler family, fans around the world are looking forward to the day when baby Emma Grace makes her debut. In the meantime, Scottie will continue to compete on the PGA Tour, now with even more inspiration driving his game.
One thing is certain — both on and off the course, Scottie Scheffler is playing with his heart full.
