Scottie Scheffler is slated to compete at this week's RBC Championship. Fresh off his incredible four-stroke victory at the Masters last week, fans are highly excited to watch him play this week.

However, his wife Meredith is heavily pregnant and could go into labor at any time, so there is a chance of his withdrawal from the competition if the situation turns that way. However, as of now, he is slated to tee off at the event.

Scottie Scheffler played in last week's Masters, and from the start of the tournament, he made it clear that he would withdraw if his wife went into labor. Speaking of his wife, Scheffler told ESPN last week:

“If she calls me while I’m on the 17th, then I better go home. Going into Sunday [in 2022], Meredith and I were just a little bit emotional about what was going on at the time because our lives were changing at a very rapid pace. Now, I think we have settled more into where our lives are at. Right now, the most exciting thing is not winning the Masters, it’s baby coming pretty soon.”

Scottie Scheffler is one of the favorites for the week with odds of +360, as per CBS Sports. He has won three tournaments this season, including the Masters. It will be interesting to see him play this week.

The 2024 RBC Heritage will start with its inaugural round on Thursday, April 18 and run through the weekend to have its finale on Sunday, April 21, at the Harbour Town Golf Links.
