As The Athletic’s Ian O’Connor reported, Scheffler’s father will be attending the Masters this week, but is held up by a serious injury he suffered recently. The report described Scott Scheffler watching as his son made a trick shot during a practice round, all while using a walker to help him get around.
“When Scheffler later joined his father, Scott, behind the clubhouse, he said he wasnât sure where his trick shot ended up,” the report noted. “Scott was sitting in a chair next to a walker; he said he broke his pelvis in a fall while doing some painting work at his house and will need a scooter during the tournament.”
The report noted that Scott Scheffler’s “pain was eased by the recent arrival of his and wife Dianeâs fourth grandchild, Remy, the second son of Scottie and wife Meredith.”
Scott Scheffler also reveled in the chance to watch his son return to golf’s biggest stage.
âScottie was just a kid who loved sports, and who worked really hard to turn this into reality,” the elder Scheffler said.
