Scottie Scheffler’s biggest fans have been with him since day one — his parents, Scott and Diane Scheffler.
The professional golfer, who won the 2022 Masters and the 2024 Masters, owes his love of the sport to his dad and mom. When he was a child, Scott purchased him a set of plastic golf clubs, and from then on, Scottie said he became “obsessed.” Once he started competing, Scott and Diane played a pivotal role in fostering his love of the sport.
As a stay-at-home dad, Scott spent his days shuttling Scottie to golf practice and tournaments while Diane worked as an executive at a law firm.
“I was fortunate to grow up in a home with two parents that loved all of us very dearly, and my mom was the one who was working and supporting our family financially, which I would say is a little bit different,” he told the PGA Tour website in May 2023.
Looking back, Scottie says he couldn’t “speak highly enough of the hard work” that his parents invested into his career through the years, resulting in him becoming the top golfer in the world in 2022.
“I used to wonder, ‘Can Scottie really be that good at his craft, at the game of golf?’ And he is. He truly has been given a gift and he uses it,” Scott told the New York Post in April 2023. “It does surprise me … He’s my child. He’s my son. Sometimes you just say to yourself, ‘Wow.’ ”
