Scheffler is doing it again at TPC Scottsdale. The world #1 has won the WM Phoenix Open in 2022 and 2023. In fact, it was the first title win of his career. However, it’s not Scottie Scheffler who is stealing the show in Arizona at the moment. It’s his son, Bennett Scheffler, who is receiving loud cheers from the spectators for hitting the ball off the fairway.

Gabby Herzig of The Athletic shared a video of Mr. Inevitable’s son with a caption, “Everyone here to see Travis Kelce, but the real storyline is Bennett Scheffler has a club in his hand.”
In the short 10-second clip, Bennett was seen aggressively hitting a ball with a plastic club. He swung at it twice before finally making contact. The spectators let out a loud cheer once he finally struck the ball. He immediately pranced off in the opposite direction as if he had completed his mission successfully.
Scheffler has already been training his son to pursue a career as a golf professional. In fact, looking at how Bennett has been regularly watching his father win, one fan even suggested, “He’ll be breaking 80 before we know it…” Now that would be a day even the world’s #1 would be eagerly waiting for.
Young Bennett has also had a taste of silverware. He hasn’t won any himself, but Scheffler’s son has always been in close proximity when he lifted his major trophies. The picture of the world #1 squatting down beside the Claret Jug as Bennett looks at the camera is still an iconic memory from Royal Portrush in 2025.

It’s not just their moments during events that Scheffler has fondly looked back on. He has also shared how the father-son duo enjoys themselves together when the PGA Tour pro isn’t working.

Bennett and Scottie Scheffler’s beautiful moments outside the pro golf landscape
When it comes to his son, Scottie Scheffler knows no boundaries. After all, he prioritizes family over everything else in his life. So it doesn’t come as a surprise when the world #1 revealed that he broke the rules to share a special moment with Bennett once.
Scheffler told the reporters, “I got some pretty funny pictures with Bennett sitting in the 19th hole at the men’s only grill where you’ve got to be — I think you’ve got to be 19 to get in there, but I figured if we bring in a couple major championship trophies with us, they’ll let the rules slide on that one.”
Of course, Bennett was nowhere close to 19 when his father took him there. But the Schefflers still enjoyed a tender moment as he took many pictures of his son there. Being the world #1, he might be allowed to enjoy many such privileges in the future as well. It will be interesting to see where Bennett and Scottie Scheffler’s next adventure will be.
