The 27-year-old is expecting his first child🍸 in weeks and promised to pull out at Augusta National if his wife Meredith went into labour.
Scheffler was asked to send a message to her from Butler Cabin. He said: "I'm coming home. I'll be home as quick as I can.
"I love you and I'm coming home."

"I can't put into words what it means to win this tournament again and I really can't put into words what it's going to be like to be a father for the first time.
"Looking forward to getting home and celebrating with Meredith, it's been a long week without her."
Scheffler was adamant throughout the week that the birth of his child would take precedence over the Masters despite his extremely high chances of success.
