The couple started dating in high school, eventually getting married in 2020
It was a moment for the family photo album when Scottie Scheffler celebrated his 2025 Open Championship victory with his wife, Meredith Scudder, and their son.
Scudder has been a constant champion and companion for her husband on the green. After another recent win, at the Memorial Tournament in June, Scheffler told CBS Sports that Scudder "is my biggest supporter, she’s my best friend," adding, “Definitely couldn’t do it without her.”
The pro golfer married his high school sweetheart in 2020 after four years of long-distance at their respective colleges.
"At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously," Scudder told Golf Digest of her husband.
Fans slowly grew familiar with Scudder from her tournament appearances leading up to Scheffler's first Masters win in April 2022, even caddying for him at one point during the weekend.
In April 2024, Scheffler earned his second Masters jacket, but Scudder wasn't in the audience due to being nine months pregnant with the couple's first child. "To my lovely wife, Meredith. I love you, sweetheart," Scheffler said during his victory speech. "I'm excited to get home. I miss you."
A few weeks later, Scudder gave birth to their son, Bennett.
So who is Scottie Scheffler's wife? Here's everything to know about Meredith Scudder and her relationship with the pro golfer.
She and Scheffler are high school sweethearts

Hailing from Dallas, Scheffler and Scudder are childhood sweethearts. The duo first met as freshmen at Highland Park High School, but didn't strike up a romance until their senior year.
"I had to woo her for a few years," he joked during a press conference for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.
Their budding relationship was put to the ultimate test when they got accepted into rival colleges. Scudder went on to attend Texas A&M while her beau went off to the University of Texas.
They dated long-distance for all four years before getting engaged in June 2020, when Scheffler proposed during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.
She learned Scheffler was a superstar golfer after seeing him in a commercial

A high school senior, Scudder knew her boyfriend was good at golf, but when she saw Scheffler in a commercial for a big golf tournament, she realized just how talented he was.
"I won the U.S. Junior in 2013 and in 2014 I had the opportunity to play in the Byron Nelson as a high school student," Scheffler recalled at 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?' "
Upon confirming that he was playing in the big leagues that weekend, Scheffler said Scudder was impressed. "She's like, 'Wow, that's cool!' "
She and Scheffler had a winter wonderland-themed wedding

Scheffler and Scudder married in a church ceremony on Dec. 4, 2020, surrounded by friends and family in their hometown.
Afterward, guests were invited to a winter wonderland-themed reception party at Arlington Hall, according to John Cain Photography, who documented the event.
The venue was decorated with garland, red bows and Christmas lights while attendees were given red Santa hats and snow to throw as the couple exited the ballroom. The newlyweds drove away in a golf cart adorned with a "Just Married" banner.
She likes to tease Scheffler over his "very particular" Chipotle order

While Scheffler claims he's got his Chipotle order down to a science, Scudder jokes it's just a "very particular" way to get extra toppings.
In a video for Golf Digest, Scudder revealed her husband likes to order a bowl with "an extra scoop of rice" and "a little bit" of black beans. For protein, he asks for chicken, and then just as they go to move his bowl to the next station, he asks for steak, too.
"Because if you just say double meat, they don't give you the full scoopage of both," Scheffler explained. He skips salsa and lettuce, but opts for cheese on top.
Her favorite part about her husband's Chipotle order, however, has to do with how he eats the bowl. The pro athlete refuses to eat his food with anything but a spoon. "You can't use any other silverware or else it 'doesn't taste the same,' " Scudder said, mimicking Scheffler with air quotes.
"No, no, no, no, no — people always eat their Chipotle with a fork, but they use it like a spoon!" Scheffler said in defense. "They spoon it, but with a fork. It doesn't make any sense. Everyone else has got it wrong. I got it right with a spoon."
She works with the nonprofit Behind Every Door

When she isn't cheering on her husband on the golf course, Scudder is helping out at Behind Every Door (BED) as a connections liaison, per its website.
"I believe everyone has unique gifting. I love being part of an organization that is showing kids their giftings and giving them a chance to not only discover those gifts but see who God created them to be," Scudder told Veritex Community Bank for Essential Golf.
Scheffler often volunteers for BED, too. The nonprofit's mission, which is rooted in spirituality, is one of the things that first attracted the couple.
"We love that it starts with listening. We don't say, 'This is what you need, this is what we're here to give you,' but rather, 'We want to build a relationship with you and walk alongside you,' " Scheffler explained.
She added: "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."
She's learned a lot about golf over the years

Scheffler has had to teach his wife a thing or two about his favorite sport.
During a press conference for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, Scheffler admitted Scudder didn't understand much about golf in the early days of their relationship.
Albeit, after trailing his career and spending most of 2022 on the road with him, Scheffler said she's starting to get the hang of it.
"She's learned fast," he said, praising his wife. "She's a student of the game. She's come to learn it."
Her genuine interest and willingness to learn has led to lots of bonding with his parents, too, Scheffler added. "She's spent a lot of time around my parents who love golf. She's learning."
One way she's immersed herself in the game is by caddying for her husband. She carried Scheffler's clubs at the 2022 Masters Tournament and then again during the Par 3 contest the following year. The golf pro posted photos of himself at the tournament in April 2023, including some shots of him and his wife walking together.

On May 8, 2024, Scudder and Scheffler welcomed their son, Bennett.
"Welcome to the world little one. Your mom & dad love you so much," Scheffler wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of him and the newborn.
The news of the couple's pregnancy broke in March 2024 when Scudder and her noticeable baby bump were seen cheering Scheffler on as he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
“It’s going to be pretty wild. I don’t think it’s hit either of us quite yet, maybe sometime when the baby is moving around in her stomach a bunch, but it’s an exciting time for us as a family,” Scheffler told PGA Tour Sirius/XM Radio, via Golf Week.
Bennett joined his parents on the green in September 2024 when Scheffler celebrated his win at the 2024 FedExCup. The Instagram account dedicated to the championship shared footage of Bennett posing for photos while sitting inside the trophy as his parents looked on, smiling.
