Scottie Scheffler wasted no time celebrating his second Masters title, but with a twist that surprised many. After securing his green jacket with a dominant performance at Augusta National, Scheffler didn't head straight home to his pregnant wife, Meredith. Instead, the 27-year-old champion made a detour to a legendary Dallas dive bar – the Inwood Tavern.
Scheffler had expressed throughout the week that his priority was getting back to his wife. He even stated in his post-round press conference, "I just want to get home" rather than dwelling on the win. Luckily, it seems everything worked out for the soon-to-be father.
Pictures surfaced on social media showing Scheffler sporting his green jacket at the Inwood Tavern, a no-frills bar known for its down-to-earth atmosphere and rich history. The iconic establishment, which boasts the title of Dallas' longest-running bar, was thrilled to have the Masters champion walk through their doors. The Inwood Tavern's social media post welcoming Scheffler home as a "champ" and congratulating him on his growing family quickly went viral.
This unexpected celebration spot sparked some debate online. While many fans found it charming and relatable for the world's No. 1 golfer to unwind at a local dive bar, others questioned his priorities given his wife's pregnancy.
Regardless of the mixed reactions, Scheffler's Masters victory is undeniable. He secured his second green jacket in three years with a commanding four-stroke lead. This win adds to his already impressive streak, having secured victories in three of the last four tournaments he played.
Scheffler's choice to celebrate at the Inwood Tavern speaks to his character. It portrays a champion who, despite his immense achievements, remains grounded and enjoys celebrating with the community. Whether he stopped by before or after heading home to his family remains unknown, but one thing's for sure – Scheffler's Masters win and his down-to-earth celebration will be a tale recounted for years to come.
