Before the heat of competition really begins with Thursday’s first round, the Masters Par 3 Competition gives all golfers on the course the opportunity to make lifelong memories with their family and friends.
Scottie Scheffler was among those surrounded by his entire family during the iconic event at Augusta National Golf Club, including his 12-day-old son.
Scheffler’s wife, Meredith, was seen with their son, Remy, strapped into a baby carrier, while their eldest, two-year-old Bennett, was having a great time with his dad.

Remy was born on March 27, the son of the world’s number one golfer who entered this week and his wife.
“It’s been really nice and fun,” Scheffler said of Remy’s birth to Golf Channel’s Cara Banks on Monday at Augusta National.

“I’m really glad they were able to travel with me this week, and you know, my wife is a police officer and she brought the kids this week, and yeah, it’s been fun.”
Scheffler’s parents, Scott and Diane, were also seen with Meredith, Bennett and Remy during their Sunday practice round, as everyone hopes the two-time green jacket winner can make it to third this week.

But before Scheffler joined the rest of the field, he enjoyed watching Bennett wander around the nine-hole par-3 course with his blue plastic club, hitting his own ball while hitting some putts. It is these moments just before competition that all golfers, those who play and even past champions who do not compete, truly enjoy with their loved ones.
And of course, there’s always the chance of making a hole in one, something Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood took advantage of Wednesday afternoon.
Family comes first for Scheffler, even if his new addition to the family is already on the golf course less than two weeks after his birth. He withdrew from the Houston Open last month to be with Meredith and her family for the birth.

Now that the family of four is reunited in Augusta, it will be time for Scheffler to take on the tough field at Augusta National in hopes of earning his third green jacket in the last five tournaments.
Scheffler finished fourth in the Masters standings last year, three shots behind Rory McIlory, who completed his career Grand Slam with a playoff victory over Justin Rose.
