Masters winner Scottie Scheffler gets kiss from wife Meredith Scudder

Scottie Scheffler’s high school sweetheart-turned-wife, Meredith Scudder, sealed his Masters win with a kiss — two years after the couple tied the knot during their hometown wedding.

Scottie, 25, became the 2022 Masters champion at the prestigious golf event on Sunday, April 10, and his wife, also 25, was right by his side every step of the way.

After winning the event, which took place in Augusta, Georgia, his wife rushed onto the green to give him a warm embrace — a moment that has captured the hearts of many people on the internet.

As soon as he was crowned the winner, Meredith, who married Scottie in 2020, ran onto the field and swept her arms around the athlete to congratulate him, as he picked her up and hugged her.

She lifted her legs off the ground and squeezed her beau as tight as possible, becoming overwhelmed with emotion.

The crowd cheered on as the two lovebirds then locked lips for a long kiss, before he set her down and they both walked off the green together grinning from ear to ear.

Meredith donned a floral sundress for the final day off the competition, while he wore a black and white striped shirt and black trousers. 

Moments before winning — as he played his final strokes — Meredith was seen in the audience watching on.

And as he became closer and closer to taking home the trophy, she fought hard to hold back her tears, eventually breaking down as his victory was sealed.  

Many people watching at home were moved by the couple’s public display of affection, and they took to social media to share their thoughts — calling their romantic love story ‘the cutest thing ever’ and gushing over the happy couple.

‘Seeing the tears of joy and pride in Meredith Scheffler’s eyes as Scottie walked up the 18th green is proof that there is goodness and love in the world,’ wrote one viewer.

Another added: ‘Meredith and Scottie Scheffler are the freaking cutest I can’t.’

‘Seeing how happy Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith are on the walk to the clubhouse after winning The Masters is priceless,’ said someone else.

A fourth user gushed: ‘OK, Scottie and Meredith are the cutest things I’ve ever seen.’

‘Watching Scottie and Meredith Scheffler walk from 18 to the clubhouse was the sweetest bit of television I’ve seen in quite some time,’ read another comment.

‘If it’s not a love like Scottihe revealed he had ‘cried like a baby’ that morning because he ‘was so stressed out,’ but thankfully, his wife was able to calm him down.

He said: ‘I was sitting there telling Meredith: «I don’t feel like I’m ready for this kind of stuff,'» and tolak investasi miras I just felt overwhelmed. She told me, «Who are you to say that you are not ready?»‘

Scottie — who is currently ranked the number one golfer in the world — was born in Montvale, New Jersey, on June 21, 1996, where he lived until the age of six.

He then moved to Dallas, Texas. For high school, he attended Highland Park Highschool — which is where he met his future-wife. 

He played golf at the University of Texas from 2014 to 2018, where he helped his team win three Big 12 championships and was awarded with the Phil Mickelson Freshman of the Year award in 2015.

He played in his first U.S. Open in 2016, but was eliminated in the second round. He then participated in the U.S. Open again in 2017, and finished with a low amateur title at one-under-par.

In August 2020, he tied for fourth at the 2020 PGA Championship. A year later, he earned the second-lowest score in PGA Tour history at the Northern Trust.

In 2022, he won the WM Phoenix Open, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play which made him the world number one golfer in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Scottie and Meredith were together for six years before they became husband and wife.

They met when they were just teens, and stayed together ever since — despite them both attending different colleges in Texas. 

They both graduated in 2018, and the sports star popped the question two years later. 

At the time, Meredith gushed on social media, ‘YES! I can’t believe God gave me my best friend to spend the rest of my life with.

‘Can’t wait to be your wife, Scottie! Blown away at the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET’S] DO THIS!’

They exchanged vows in December of that year at Arlington Hall in Dallas, with Scottie taking to Instagram to celebrate their anniversary a year later.

‘Very grateful for one year of marriage to my best friend! God is good,’ he wrote at the time.

The two have kept their romance pretty low-key other than that — with Scottie hardly ever sharing any pics with his wife to social media, and her accounts set to private. However, she is often spotted at his matches supporting him.

In fact, when the Masters first kicked off last week, she was photographed by his side on the green, while helping him clean his clubs. 

‘First timers at the Par 3 and it definitely lived up to the hype,’ Scottie captioned a series of snaps that showed him and Meredith together at the Masters on Thursday.

‘Mere is still working on cleaning the grooves…’

And when he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2022, she jumped into his arms to celebrate once again.

‘Meredith obviously knows me better than anybody, being my wife,’ he gushed during an interview at the event, per Golf.com.

‘She knows how hard it is when I don’t win. So being able to celebrate a win is pretty special, and to have my parents here for this one is extremely cool with all the sacrifices they made growing up. I’m just really pleased.’ 

As for her own job, Meredith is currently the co-founder, vice president, and event planning team l
