Scottie Scheffler is enjoying a quiet offseason.
The world No. 1 golfer closed his 2026 PGA Tour season by winning the Tour Championship on Aug. 30. It was his 22nd PGA Tour victory, his third in 2026 and his second FedExCup title. He finished three strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland.
Scheffler said in July at the Genesis Scottish Open that the fall is “a special time for our family.” He told People in May that he wanted to spend time at home as soon as the season ended. He and his wife Meredith have two young sons, Bennett and Remy.
On that note, the couple made a public appearance Saturday night.
