AUGUSTA, Ga. – Scottie Scheffler is a father of two after the recent birth of his second son, Remy, but if his handling of older brother Bennett last night is any indication, he’s got this fathering thing down.
“We were leaving a Nike party and [Bennett] somehow ended up with two sugar cookies and he hadn't eaten his dinner yet,” Scheffler recounted while speaking to the media ahead of the 2026 Masters. “It was like, ‘All right, buddy, if you eat these sausages, I will give you this cookie.’ He's like, ‘Cookie!’ I'm like, ‘If you eat this.’ My buddies are sitting there watching going, ‘Yep, I've seen this movie before.’ ”
Two Green Jackets for Scheffler but only one sugar cookie allowed for Bennett.
Scheffler was tight-lipped that he and wife, Meredith, were expecting a second child to fill out their golf foursome until he pulled out of the Texas Children’s Houston Open on March 24. Scheffler finally confirmed the birth of the baby, who already has paid a visit to Augusta National Golf Club, on Sunday. And what about the name Remy: Was it after a family member? Out of love for former Boston Red Sox second baseman Jerry Remy? Perhaps Chef Remy in the children’s classic Ratatouille?
Those would make for a good story but Scheffler said, “[Meredith] liked kind of the i, e, or y at the end of the name. We had Bennett first, and we can call him Bennie if we like the i-e. Remy was a name we liked. No real significance to it. We looked on the Internet and found some stuff, but it's quite metaphorical and a stretch for what the name means. I'm not going to share that. I'll probably butcher it if I try, so I'll get back to you on that. It was something that we liked, and that's pretty much it.”
As to why he didn’t do a traditional social media post after the birth of the baby, waiting nine days until running into the Associated Press’s Doug Ferguson, who broke the news on X, Scheffler confessed, “I don't really know how to use Instagram."
He said of social media posts, "I feel like those things can be a great tool to be able to share certain things about my life, but when it comes to my kids, I want them to have as simple of a life as they can and be able to grow and develop like normal kids the same way I did.”
Scheffler continued: “There's no reason that my kids need to be on TV or on my Instagram or whatever it is. I feel like my kids need to have a normal upbringing or as normal as I can, and we'll go from there. Bennett is still 2, so the hard parenting hasn't really started yet. It's more bargaining at this point.”
