Scottie Scheffler took in his third major victory Sunday with his biggest supporter.
The world’s No. 1 golfer hugged and kissed wife Meredith at Quail Hollow after winning his first PGA Championship, shooting a five-shot win in Sunday’s final round and finished 11-under overall.
“I’m so proud of you,” an emotional Meredith could be heard saying on the broadcast, followed by “I’m so happy, I love you so much.”
He also made sure to give his son, Bennett, a hug and Scheffler proceeded to carry his first child around the grounds long after clinching the win.
Scheffler, 28, entered Sunday atop the leaderboard at 11-under par after going on a tear in the third round, shooting a six-under 65 with birdies on the final two holes.

Sunday’s victory marked Scheffler’s first major win since he captured his second green jacket at the 2024 Masters.
Meredith was not in attendance for the post-tournament celebrations last April as she was preparing to give birth to Bennett.
Scheffler announced Bennett’s birth on May 13, 2024 — days before his run at the 2024 PGA Championship came to a screeching halt when he was arrested due to a miscommunication about traffic flow before the second round at Valhalla Golf Club.

“I can’t really explain what happened this morning. I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. That was a first for me. That was part of my warmup,” Scheffler said at the time.
“… I was fortunate to be able to make it back out and play some golf today.”
