How Scottie Scheffler and Meredith Scheffler Met

Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith met while they were freshmen in high school. The Dallas natives both attended Highland Park High School and allegedly had eyes for each other from the start—but it wasn’t until their senior year that they struck up a romance.

“At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn’t take himself too seriously,” Meredith told Golf Digest. “Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn’t the most important thing about him.”

“I won the U.S. Junior in 2013 and in 2014 I had the opportunity to play in the Byron Nelson as a high school student,” Scheffler said during a press interview at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions. “I was at [Meredith’s] house one day, we were hanging out with her dad or something, and the commercial came on TV. And she was kind of looking around. She was like, Wait a minute, isn’t that next weekend? Isn’t that what you’re doing?'”

Scottie and Meredith continued dating after high school, even as their collegiate careers took them on separate paths. (He went to the University of Texas, while she studied at Texas A&M). After dating long-distance for four years, Scheffler proposed during a hiking trip at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.
