Before the heat of the competition really begins with Thursday’s first round, the Masters Par 3 Contest gives all golfers in the field the opportunity to make lifelong memories with their families 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 spotted with their son, Remy, strapped into a carrier, while their eldest, two-year-old Bennett, had the time of his life teasing it out with his dad.

Remy was born on March 27 to the world’s No. 1 golfer entering 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 soldier and brought the boys this week and yeah, it’s been fun.”
Scheffler’s parents Scott and Diane were also spotted with Meredith, Bennett and Remy during his Sunday practice round as they all hope the two-time green jacket winner can make it three this week.

But before Scheffler closes in with the rest of the field, he enjoyed watching Bennett roam the nine-hole par-3 course with his blue plastic club, tapping his own ball while making some short putts. It is these moments right before the competition that all golfers, players and even non-competitive former champions, really enjoy with their loved ones.
And of course, there’s always the chance of a hole-in-one, which Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood took advantage of on Wednesday afternoon.
Family comes first for Scheffler, even though his newest addition to the family is already on the golf course less than two weeks after birth. He pulled out of the Houston Open last month to be with Meredith and his family for the birth.

Now that the family of four has gathered in Augusta, it will be time for Scheffler to take to the difficult Augusta National course in hopes of winning his third green jacket in the last five tournaments.
Scheffler finished fourth in the Masters rankings last year, three strokes behind Rory McIlory, who completed the career Grand Slam with a playoff win over Justin Rose.
