You might have seen how good Scottie is as a golfer but you might not know about his personal life. In this regard, let us help you to know more about him in the content below.

Meredith Scudder, A Supportive Wife

The professional golfer is married to Meredith Scudder, his high school girlfriend. The couple held on to their relationship even after being accepted to two different colleges which caused them to continue a long-distance relationship. But, love won and the couple then got engaged in 2020. Meredith always felt Scottie was a calm-minded and humble human who did not take himself seriously.

Their wedding was a wonderland-themed reception, and in the December winter, the couple drove away in a golf cart that had a Just Married banner. Scottie is really thankful to God for letting him marry his best friend.

According to Wiki sources, Meredith had no idea about golf, and Scottie had to teach her, but the man did not pass up the opportunity to praise her and tell them that she is a quick learner in an interview.

Scottie has the most amazing supporter, and that is his wife. She knows him better than anyone and can even correctly order his Chipotle. In preparation for the Sentry Tournament, when Scottie cracked his Nike golf club and could not replace it because Nike stopped making clubs, his wife came as the savior and brought him 10 clubs to help him continue his practice. The kind of partner is what we all deserve.

Along with being a good husband, Scottie is an amazing best friend. He had a junior golfer and a best friend, James Regan, who was the closest to him. Sadly, his best friend passed away due to osteosarcoma, and Scottie had to golf alone.

This gave him one more reason to be the best, and he dedicated his Masters Victory to his best friend and his family. He also helped raise over $3 million for his friend’s cancer charity, Triumph Over Kid Cancer.

Sources suggest he still drives an old Chevrolet car that his dad gave him and does not spend his millions on luxuries. Scottie has an Instagram account where he posts a lot about his tournaments and his golfing life.
