Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns May Withdraw from Masters Due to Impending Childbirths

With their wives due to give birth imminently, golfers Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns could exit the prestigious tournament to be present for the births.

Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns, both competing in the 2024 Masters, have stated they will withdraw if their wives go into labor.
Scheffler's wife, Meredith, and Burns' wife, Caroline, are both due to give birth within the next few weeks, coinciding with the tournament.
The golfers have made family a priority, with plans in place to leave Augusta should they receive the call.
This situation mirrors a past event from the 1999 U.S. Open when Phil Mickelson was prepared to leave if his wife went into labor.
Both golfers have expressed their excitement and anticipation about becoming first-time fathers, emphasizing the importance of family over their professional commitments.
