IN PHOTOS: Scottie Scheffler takes time out of the PGA Championship to share an adorable moment with fellow golfer's son

Scottie Scheffler is in contention at the 2025 PGA Championship. He opened with a 2-under 69 despite a double bogey in Round 1, and followed it up with a 3-under 68 in Round 2. He carded a six-under par 65 in the ongoing third round and is currently on top of the leaderboard with 11-under.

While Scheffler is giving tough competition on the course, the PGA of America shared a wholesome moment off the field. In a picture posted on Instagram, the World No.1 was seen playing with the children of PGA professional Ryan Lenahan, who missed the cut after finishing 6-over 77 in Round 2.

"The best week. 🥹 PGA of America Golf Professional Ryan Lenahan teed it up at the @PGAChampionship for the first time – and his kids found a new friend in Scottie Scheffler,” read the caption.

Scheffler, who became a father last year, recently celebrated his son Bennett’s first birthday. Bennett was born on May 8, 2024, just days before the 2024 PGA Championship.

Scheffler shared a photo on his son's birthday from the Masters alongside Bennett and his wife. He captioned the post:

"One whole year with our little man!"

That year, Scottie Scheffler was briefly arrested outside Valhalla Golf Club hours before his second round. He was later released and managed to finish tied for eighth in the tournament.
