I left my pregnant wife at home to come here and play in a golf tournament. I am here to play and hopefully play well. I’m not here just for fun. [So] up until when the baby comes, I’m going to play this week and then I’ll go home and basically just wait. We’re due at the end of the month,” the World No.1 said. What did he say in Augusta when he fielded questions about his wife and child? “I made a commitment to this tournament. I like coming here and playing the golf course.” But as committed as he is to golf, the tournaments, and winning, they’re not his priority.
At the RBC Heritage, he added, “Golf was my top priority, but I do love competing, and I put in the work. It’s going to take another notch down in priority when our child comes.” And, well, seeing Scheffler take some time off from golf is something many of his competitors may want right now. Given the 27-year-old’s winning streak, J.T. Poston couldn’t help but encourage Scheffler to do just that.
