Scottie Scheffler's Religion
Scottie Scheffler is Christian.
In an interview after winning the 2022 Masters Tournament, he said:
"All I'm trying to do is glorify God, and that's why I'm here and that's why I'm in position. So, for me, it's not about a golf score."
During the same interview, he also disclosed that his wife, Meredith (also Christian), calmed him down before the fourth and last day. Scheffler added:
“And so what we talked about is that God is in control and that the Lord is leading me; and if today is my time, then it’s my time. And if I shot 82 today, you know, somehow I was going to use it for His glory.”
Following his victory in the 2024 Masters Tournament, during an interview, Scheffler said (via Desert News):
“I’m a faithful guy. I believe in a creator. I believe in Jesus. ... I feel like I’ve been given a platform to compete and show my talent. It’s not anything that I did.”
Instead of pursuing fame, he said, his priorities are working hard and to "glorify God."
He met his caddie since 2021, Ted Scott, at a bible study.
