“It’s tradition on Sunday at the Masters [that] past champions get to bring a guest to play, and the last few years I’ve brought a guest to play one year,” Scheffler said during a pre-Masters interview in March, <a href="https://golf.com/news/scottie-scheffler-masters-augusta-national-mom/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">per Golf.com</a>. “I think last year it was my sisters, and this year I think my mom is going to come play. And so I think that day is a good day for me to soak in being back at the Masters, enjoy the memories, and have some fun with a family member or close friend and just enjoy the golf course, enjoy the day, before the work week starts on Monday. I kind of try to get everything out of the way on Sunday and get all the lore and everything.”



Scheffler also talked about what he loves about Augusta National. “I think when you pull in the gates, I think that’s the most special thing for me,” Scheffler said. “I really feel like you’re just kind of turning into this whole other world. It’s like a different place than the world just outside the gates. And you pull in, and everything else just kind of melts away. I forget about a lot of stuff that’s going on. I just kind of get really in tune to just try to play golf and get ready and prepare to play the golf course. Pulling into the gates is always a really special feeling. It feels to me like we’re going into a different world.”
