Five golfers who became dads in 2024 ft. Scottie Scheffler and others

#1 Scottie Scheffler

The World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler became a dad in May 2024. He was blessed with a baby son, Bennett, on May 8. The American golfer shared the exciting news on Instagram by sharing an adorable picture of his baby, writing:

"Welcome to the world little one. Your mom & dad love you so much."

Later in September 2024, on the Pardon My Take podcast, the World No. 1 reflected on his journey to becoming a dad and said:

"It was actually really bad for my back the first couple months. Now that I’ve relaxed a little bit, it’s a little bit easier to hold him, but it was like clockwork. We get home from a tournament and two days in a rib would pop out or something like that holding them, bouncing on, like just soft little golf injuries."
