Who Is Scottie Scheffler's Wife?
American Scottie Scheffler married Meredith Scudder in 2020 - here's what we know about her


Mike Hall
After being named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2020, Scottie Scheffler has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the game, racking up 12 wins on the circuit. He has also won The Masters twice and enjoyed long spells as World No.1.
While his career on the course has been spectacular, Scheffler seems to be a happy man off it, too, and in 2020 he married his girlfriend of six years, Meredith Scudder.
Scheffler attended Highland Park High School in Texas, where he would meet and date Scudder, and it was at the school that Scudder realized just how talented Scheffler was after seeing him in a commercial.
"I won the US 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. He continued, "I was at [Meredith's] house one day, we were hanging out with her dad or something, and the commercial came on TV. And she was kind of looking around. She was like, 'Wait a minute, isn't that next weekend? Isn't that what you're doing?'"
However, as the pair set themselves up for University, Scheffler attended the University of Texas, whilst Scudder headed to the University of Texas A&M. While at university, Scudder also had a brief internship in Zambia, but despite the long distance, the couple remained together and, in June 2020, Scheffler popped the question to Scudder while out on hiking at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve.
Meredith regularly attends Scottie's events
Posting on Instagram, Scudder wrote: “YES! I can’t believe God gave me my best friend to spend the rest of my life with, can’t wait to be your wife, Scottie!!!! Blown away at the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET’S] DO THIS!!”
Meredith is the director of curating opportunities at Behind Every Door (BED), a nonprofit organization that provides sports, educational and creative programs for the youth in underdeveloped neighborhoods in the Dallas area.

She said: "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."
Meredith is also a regular at Scheffler's events and has caddied for him on more than one occasion at The Masters Par-3 Contest.

At the 2024 edition of the Major, Scheffler's sister took on the honors because Meredith was heavily pregnant with the couple's first child - a situation that the eventual winner of the Green Jacket vowed would see him withdraw if she went into labor during the tournament. In the end, she gave birth to a son, Bennett, around a month later, on 8 May, by which time Scottie had also gone on to win the RBC Heritage!
It hasn't all been a joyous period for Scheffler in 2024, with controversy in the form of his arrest at the PGA Championship. Charges against him were eventually dropped, and, just over a week later, Meredith was once again at Scheffler's side, along with their baby son, after Scheffler claimed victory at the Memorial Tournament.

Just a few weeks after that, Meredith and Bennett were again in attendance as Scheffler racked up yet another win, this time at The Travelers Championship.
Scheffler's incredible form on the course shows little sign of slowing down as an impressive career threatens to propel him to greatness in the coming years. Given his and Meredith's apparently rock-solid relationship, she seems sure to be by his side as his career goes from strength to strength.
Matt joined Golf Monthly in February 2021 covering weekend news, before also transitioning to equipment and testing. After freelancing for Golf Monthly and The PGA for 18 months, he was offered a full-time position at the company in October 2022 and continues to cover weekend news and social media, as well as help look after Golf Monthly’s many buyers’ guides and equipment reviews.
Taking up the game when he was just seven years of age, Matt made it into his county squad just a year later and continues to play the game at a high standard, with a handicap of around 2-4. To date, his best round came in 2016, where he shot a six-under-par 66 having been seven-under through nine holes. He currently plays at Witney Lakes in Oxfordshire and his favourite player is Rory McIlroy, despite nearly being struck by his second shot at the 17th during the 2015 BMW PGA Championship.
