On Sunday, the Texas native secured his third major title, adding the PGA Championship to his two Masters trophies.
While his performance excited everyone, what thrilled spectators even more was Scheffler's emotional celebration.
Particularly when it came to his one-year-old son, Bennett.
Bennett Scheffler steals the limelight at Quail Hollow
As Scottie Scheffler sank his winning shot on the 18th hole, he let out his feelings, saying, "F***k yeah!"
His wife, Meredith, and their son, Bennett, wrapped themselves in his arms as she expressed how proud she felt in that moment.
But Bennett wasn't ready to let go of his father just yet. Every time Meredith tried separating the toddler, he cried.
Scheffler, always the family man, decided to bring Bennett along as he moved toward the scoring area, keeping his little one by his side.
I'm dying at this whole sequence.

To keep Bennett entertained, Scheffler also handed him a few keepsakes - his cap, notepad, and other small items.
The heartwarming scenes did not stop there.
As Scheffler made his way to the 18th hole to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy, Bennett once again making his presence felt. While the Ridgewood, New Jersey native was busy taking a photo with officials, all eyes were instead on Bennett, crawling his way across the 18th green.

Spectators couldn't get enough of the adorable moment, as the young Scheffler seemed determined to be part of his father's historic achievement.
And there's no doubt he'll do it again, bringing joy to fans everywhere.
