Scottie Scheffler accuses Amanda Balionis of making him 'emotional' during interview
World No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has accused broadcaster Amanda Balionis of making him 'emotional' during an interview when he was asked about the support of his wife while he is on the links. Balionis got a word with Scheffler seconds after he secured the victory at The Memorial, not far from the green on hole 18. The golf host asked Scheffler about his wife Meredith's support, while he held his 1-year-old son Bennett in his arms. 'You're really trying to make me emotional now,' Scheffler said to Balionis. 'I mean, my wife is my biggest supporter. She's my best friend, and this is our life out here on the road.' It's been a lot of fun and I've had some special memories at this tournament. Yeah, definitely couldn't do it without her.' The Memorial is hosted by arguably the best golfer of all-time, Jack Nicklaus, with Balionis asking the question in reference to the wife of 'The Golden Bear', Barbara Nicklaus. An emotional Scottie Scheffler speaks with Amanda Balionis following his @MemorialGolf win 😊 — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) June 1, 2025 'Watching you and Meredith and Bennett, it makes me think, we've been talking about Barbara Nicklaus all week this week and how she made so much of Jack's career possible with her support,' Balionis said. 'Talk about what this balance looks like and the support Meredith provides that allows you to be the best father and husband you can be while also being the No 1player in the world.' The interview was seconds after Scheffler got to hug Meredith and Bennett after the win became official. On camera, Meredith admitted to her golfing husband that their son pooped on his back and she stuck around to congratulate her partner before finding a new diaper. Scheffler is less than a month removed from his PGA Championship win at Quail Hollow, his third major victory. He was in the news for his time in North Carolina on Wednesday, as Rory McIlroy spoke out on the leak of testing drivers that involved both men. 'Two members of the media were the ones that leaked it. Again, I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted, either, because there's a lot of people that I'm trying to protect,' McIlroy said before the start of the Canadian Open. 'Scottie - I don't want to mention his name. I'm also trying to protect TaylorMade. I'm trying to protect the USGA, PGA of America, myself. I just didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted at the time.'

Heart-stopping new footage emerges of Jordan Spieth ‘almost ending a fan's life' as golf shot goes badly wrong
JORDAN SPIETH "almost ended a fan's life" when his golf shot went completely wrong. Spieth, 31, played at the Memorial Tournament at Muifield Village Golf Club this weekend. 4 4 He finished in T7 on one-under-par, nine adrift of runaway winner Scottie Scheffler. PGA Championship champ and world No1 Scheffler was immediately congratulated by wife Meredith on the 18th green - and was handed his one-year-old son Bennett who had what appeared to be a poo stain on his baby grow. But it was Spieth who also may have needed a change of underwear after things very nearly went horribly wrong on the very first hole of Sunday's final round. The three-time major winner hit his tee shot well right into the rough. But his recovery shot out of the thick cut came scarily close to ending in a tragic disaster. Video footage showed the American lining up the shot in an awkward stance with the ball well above his feet. And as he makes the connection, the ball hurtled at rapid speed straight towards the large group of golf fans stood behind a rope to his right - rather than heading for the green as intended. The fans in direct line of the ball were forced to take emergency cover. The commentator said: "Goodness me. He was full of confidence but never got the connection at all. "Hopefully everyone is okay. Jordan, what are you doing?" Scottie Scheffler living 'peak dad life' as he's handed baby son with 'poop stain' immediately after winning £3million The terrifying scenes were also filmed from the fans' view as the ball flew towards the camera. Thankfully, the fans somehow managed to get out of harm's way in time and avoided any serious injuries as Spieth recovered to make par. But fans took to social media to express their shock and concern about the worrying incident - as fears grow for spectator safety. One said: "Spieth almost killing a fan on the first hole." Another wrote: "This view of Jordan Spieth almost ending a fan's life is crazy. "It's wild that more serious injuries or even deaths don't happen on tour. Fans have zero fear, even when it's a tough shot." A third added: "Spieth nearly decapitates a fan." And a final user commented: "People are way too trusting when trying to get a closer look at pros. "When Jordan was preparing for the shot I was thinking, those people could be in path of the ball. "The PGA and tournaments needs to reconsider how position fans on shots like that." 4 4

On one of the tougher PGA Tour tests of the year, Scheffler made one bogey over the final 40 holes at Muirfield Village.

Scottie Scheffler's Wife Meredith Scheffler Gets Strong Message From PGA Tour Golfer originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler's wife Meredith Scheffler was a fan of the PGA Tour star long before the golfer was rising up leaderboards. Meredith and the couple's son Bennett have become fan favorites given their constant presence at PGA Tour tournaments. Advertisement Scottie is now a two-time Masters champion and recently reflected on his anxiety before ultimately winning his first green jacket in 2022. The PGA Tour golfer admitted to "crying a lot" ahead of the final round, but it was Meredith who was a calming presence. "I've worked my whole life to have a chance to win the Masters, and I was a bit overwhelmed," Scottie told Rolex during a May 19, interview. "I remember crying a lot. Just because I was able to sit there with my wife. She's my biggest supporter. She knows me better than anybody." Scottie Scheffler poses for a photo with his wife Meredith and son Bennett after winning the PGA Championship golf tournament at Quail Dedmon-Imagn Images "She saw me go from being a fairly anonymous player on the (PGA Tour) to being No. 1 in the world. And going to have a chance to win my first major," Scottie continued. "She kind of reminded me why I go out to play. If I lost that day, she loves me the same. It's the same for my family, and I get emotional because I really believe that." Advertisement The high school sweethearts have been married since Dec. 4, 2020. Their longtime relationship dates back to their time at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas. Now that Scottie has won three majors, hopefully the anxiety has subsided before marquee rounds.
