Scheffler’s voice then caught as he got emotional: “I mean, my wife is my biggest supporter, she’s my best friend.”

For Scheffler — who posted a historic win at the Byron Nelson, then later won the PGA Championship and tied for fourth at Colonial in Fort Worth — the past month has been successful and lucrative one.
The Dallas-based golfer has reportedly taken home nearly $10 million since April, according to Athlon Sports.
All the while, his wife and 1-year-old son Bennett have been by his side, cheering him on.
“You know, this is our life, out here on the road,” Scheffler told Balionis. “It’s been a lot of fun.”
He added about his wife: “Yeah, definitely couldn’t do it without her.”
The family has enjoyed other milestones while on the tour, including having fun at the Par 3 contest at the Masters, where Bennett wore a white jumpsuit that said “Scheffler” on the back.
Just a few weeks later at the PGA Championship, the toddler stood up by himself for what was seemingly the first time, according to Golf Digest.
