Caroline Burns, the wife of golfer Sam Burns, is due with a baby soon.
Meredith Scheffler, Scottie Scheffler’s wife, is also due soon.
Here’s the kicker: both Scottie and Sam are playing in the 2024 Masters this week at Augusta. So the big question to ask is this: what happens if either of their wives goes into labor in the middle of one of their rounds?
There’s an answer for that: Golf Channel reports that they would definitely withdraw if it came to that. Do with that information what you will, and take note that they’re on the record saying that.
Scottie Scheffler & Sam Burns both are expecting their babies to be born in the next 1-3 weeks.
