It was a special victory Sunday for Scottie Scheffler.
Moments after the 26-year-old golfer won the 2023 Players Championship, he found wife Meredith in the crowd at TPC Sawgrass, where the twosome then shared a sweet embrace.
Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 golfer, captured his sixth PGA Tour win on Sunday after finishing at 17-under par.
He also collected $4.5 million in winnings.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Scheffler said Sunday. “Long day, tough day. I knew the conditions were going to get really hard late and I did a really good job of staying patient, not trying to force things, and then I got hot kind of in the middle of the round and, yeah, tried to put things away as quickly as I could.”
Though Meredith cheered on Scheffler throughout the weekend, the New Jersey native was also supported by one of his biggest fans, his 88-year-old grandmother Mary, who walked the course.
