Scottie Scheffler’s Heartbreaking News Leaves Wife Meredith in Tears

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler clinched his sixth PGA Tour title of the year at the Travelers Championship on Sunday, marking a remarkable milestone in his 2022 season. Golf presenter Amanda Balionis captured this triumphant moment, sharing a touching Instagram post that offered a glimpse into Scheffler’s personal life and the love he shares with his wife, Meredith.

Balionis, part of the CBS Sports team, was present at the TPC River Highlands, where she witnessed Scheffler’s thrilling playoff victory over Tom Kim. Both golfers finished with an impressive -22, but it was Scheffler who emerged victorious, securing his sixth win of the year.

The moment of victory was made even sweeter as Scheffler celebrated with his wife Meredith and their newborn son, Bennett. Right after stepping off the course, Scheffler cradled six-week-old Bennett in his arms during an interview with Balionis. This intimate family scene was later shared by Balionis on her Instagram account, accompanied by a heartfelt message.

Balionis wrote: “Today, @scottie.scheffler becomes the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 (!) to win SIX times before July 1st. His bounce-back ability—from a disappointing week last week, and the unexpected events on the 72nd hole—continues to be the standard. To watch Scottie’s pure joy the moment he steps off the course to celebrate with Bennett and @meredithscheffler is one of the cooler things we get to witness this season. World Number 1 does it again.”

Scheffler’s victory at the Masters in April was also a highlight of his season, though it came with its own set of challenges. As Meredith was close to giving birth, Scheffler had declared he would leave the tournament immediately if she went into labor.

Balionis’s post not only celebrated Scheffler’s achievements but also highlighted the deep bond he shares with his family, adding a personal touch to his professional success. This glimpse into Scheffler’s life off the course reveals the strength and support behind his relentless drive and remarkable achievements.
