This past week in golf saw some heartwarming and humorous moments, starting with two PGA Tour babies stealing the spotlight. Best friends Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns both welcomed children earlier this year, with Bear Burns and Bennett Scheffler quickly becoming the stars of the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
During a practice round, Bear accompanied his dad, Sam, and even spent time with “Uncle Xander” Schauffele, creating an adorable family moment on the course. Bennett also had his share of attention, thanks to a helping hand from Burns. These lighthearted scenes, along with the camaraderie displayed among the players, brought a unique warmth to an otherwise competitive week.
Off the course, Scottie Scheffler demonstrated his generosity in Memphis, taking time to meet with a young fan, Liliana, who has been through significant health challenges, including a liver transplant. The touching gesture highlighted Scheffler’s character as much as his golf skills.
Additionally, Xander Schauffele showed a more playful side, engaging with the media in a mock reporter role and bringing a sense of fun to the otherwise serious atmosphere. These moments not only made the tournament more memorable but also showcased the personalities behind the top players, adding a new layer of excitement to the playoff season.
