WATCH: Scottie Scheffler finds time during busy media round schedule at Travelers Championship to prioritize family

Scottie Scheffler’s final Saturday putt on the 18th took the World No. 1 as high as T2. With that, he's tied for second place along with Akshay Bhatia, behind Tom Kim. After the third round, the 28-year-old golfer was scheduled to join the press conference but in his busy day, the player didn't forget his family.

The PGA Tour's official X.com account posted a video of a heartwarming moment. In the clip, Scottie Scheffler is seen waving at his wife, Meredith, who stands by the balcony with the baby. He called her “Hey Mama” before the golfer joined for the post-round interview.

This isn't the first time Scottie Scheffler stood out as a family man. During the Masters Tournament, the golfer was ready to withdraw for his wife if she went into labor. He disclosed the same in a press conference.

“If she calls me while I’m on the 17th, then I better go home,” Scheffler said.

But Scheffler didn't have to withdraw since the baby was born in May and Masters finished before mid-April. Scottie Scheffler won the Masters Tournament in 2024 with an 11-under.
