Scottie Scheffler: WATCH: Scottie Scheffler has adorable moment with wife Meredith, son & Tiger Woods at the Hero World Championship

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler successfully defended his Hero World Challenge title at The Albany in New York this year. His victory came as no surprise as he has had one of the best seasons of his career so far.

The PGA Tour took to X to post a special video of Scheffler spending precious moments with his wife Meredith and son, Bennett. He was then seen giving interviews before he lifted the trophy and clicked pictures with host and golfing legend Tiger Woods. The latter was dressed in his signature red shirt while Scheffler had opted for a blue shirt for the final round on Sunday.

"Behind the scenes with the back-to-back Hero World Challenge champion," the PGA Tour wrote in the caption with a trophy emoji.

This BTS video comes ahead of Scottie Scheffler's documentary, 'Scottie 24', which will be released on December 23, 2024 on PGA Tour YouTube. The tour had even posted a teaser of the same last week.
