World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler withdrew from the Houston Open to be with his wife, Meredith Scudder, as she prepares to give birth to their second child. The Texan has finished runner-up at the event for the past two years and aimed for a second victory this season before the Masters. He plans to return at Augusta National in two weeks to contend for a third Green Jacket.
Scheffler’s first son, Bennett, arrived in May 2024, just before the PGA Championship. The family resides in a luxurious yet understated mansion in Dallas’s exclusive Devonshire neighborhood, which Scheffler purchased in 2020 for £1.6 million. Despite his net worth surpassing £80 million, the 29-year-old remains in this home, now valued at £2.8 million, underscoring his grounded lifestyle.
Property Overview
Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet, the mansion boasts five bedrooms and six bathrooms across a half-acre lot. The exterior features a stone facade, arched entrance, and circular driveway, complemented by manicured landscaping.
Outdoor Retreat
The expansive backyard serves as a private oasis with a stone patio, fireplace, and rectangular swimming pool equipped with a spa and waterfall. Lush trees and shrubs provide shade, while patio furniture and sun loungers create an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining.
Interior Highlights
Inside, French doors flood the space with natural light, paired with neutral walls and rustic furnishings. The dining room features a wooden table surrounded by navy velvet chairs. The living area includes a fireplace, plush sofas, vaulted ceilings, and abundant windows, perfect for gatherings.
The open kitchen showcases hardwood floors, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a central island with bar seating. Scheffler’s office offers hardwood flooring, built-in bookshelves, French doors to the outdoors, a large wooden desk, and an overhead chandelier.
The master suite includes a spacious bedroom with a sitting area and his-and-hers wardrobes, plus a bathroom with marble countertops. Additional bedrooms and a games room with a ceiling fan and ping pong table complete the layout.
Loyalty to the PGA Tour
This modest residence aligns with Scheffler’s commitment to the PGA Tour amid lucrative LIV Golf offers. He previously stated: “My dream was to play on the PGA Tour. My dream was never to maximise my financial benefits. I feel very blessed and fortunate to play golf and get paid for it, so for me, I’m not looking to go out and do anything else.”
