Scheffler Ready for Masters Despite Family Focus

Scottie Scheffler, the Masters favorite, is preparing for Augusta while adjusting to life with newborn Remy and toddler Bennett.

Scheffler's family life has taken center stage recently with the birth of his daughter Remy on March 27, just days after withdrawing from the Houston Open for the arrival. The two-time Masters champion, who hasn't played since The Players Championship in mid-March, remains the favorite at Augusta despite his relatively quiet season.

The father of two has been outside the top 10 in his last three appearances before taking paternity leave. While his golf may have taken a backseat to fatherhood, Scheffler feels refreshed and ready to contend at Augusta National, where he hopes to share the significance of the green jacket with his children as they grow.
