Scottie Scheffler excited Augusta shaping up for firm, fast Masters
Scottie Scheffler is back at Augusta National, where the 29-year-old is already a two-time Masters champion.
Augusta, Ga. – Scottie Scheffler stirred a lot of discussion by saying that he doesn't find true fulfillment in winning, just days before capturing his fourth career major title at last year's Open Championship. Nine months later, he is back at Augusta National, where the 29-year-old is already a two-time Masters champion.
He is also recently a two-time father, with wife Meredith giving birth to son Remy last month. Always careful not to mix the two, Scheffler has no problem keeping his professional and personal lives from becoming overly intertwined. "I would say it's always been a battle for me trying to strike a balance between continuing to work hard, staying competitive, and also not having my – either my good golf or my bad golf – define me," he said Tuesday.
"Because that could go one of two ways. If I let my bad golf define me, I'd be a pretty miserable person. If I let my good golf define me, whether or not it's a green jacket or an Open Championship, then I'd walk around pretty arrogant all the time and I wouldn't be very nice to people because I think I'm hot stuff because I won a few golf tournaments.
" Scheffler has won quite a few golf tournaments – 20 on the PGA Tour. Two of those have come at Augusta, where he won in 2022 and 2025 and has yet to finish outside of the top-20 in six previous appearances. He returned this week with his family.
