This included his newborn son, Remy, who is just nine days old.

Scheffler, known for keeping his golf life separate from his family, had remained quiet since withdrawing from the Houston Open two weeks prior due to the impending birth of his second child. His wife, Meredith, gave birth to Remy on March 27.

"We just liked it," Scheffler shared about the name. Their first son, Bennett, was born in 2024 before the PGA Championship. "We didn't have many good boy names, to be honest."

Meredith pushed Remy in a stroller under the iconic oak tree near the clubhouse, marking his first Masters appearance. This sight added to the unique atmosphere that the Masters is known for, especially on the Sunday before the major tournament.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy has been at the club all weekend, attending the Augusta National Women's Amateur on Saturday and presenting trophies to young competitors in the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals on Sunday.

McIlroy expressed excitement about returning as the Masters champion and enjoying the associated perks. He donned his green jacket during the Drive, Chip and Putt event and posed with Maria Jose Marin, the ANWA winner and the first Colombian to achieve victory at Augusta National.

Following the trophy presentation, McIlroy headed to the golf course with his father, Gerry, and Augusta member Jimmy Dunne. He is looking forward to the Masters Club dinner on Tuesday, where he has curated an elaborate menu.

"It is the most exclusive dinner club in all of sport, and we should all feel fortunate to be there," he told Golf Channel after the trophy presentation. "We're there because of the hard work and good play we've produced."

He also acknowledged two notable absentees from the dinner: Tiger Woods, who was arrested for suspicion of DUI following a March 27 car crash, and Phil Mickelson, who is dealing with a personal health issue.

"Unfortunately, a couple of guys won't be in that room, which is a shame, but I want to make sure they're acknowledged," McIlroy said. "They've been two of the greatest champions the Masters has ever seen. It's going to be a really cool night, and I can't wait."

Bryson DeChambeau was also present at Augusta National on Saturday, offering support to Asterisk Talley after her unfortunate quadruple-bogey on the par-3 12th hole, which cost her a chance at victory.

DeChambeau, who grew up nearby, expressed his desire to support Talley during her difficult moment. "If there's anything I can do to support her, that's why I'm here," he said.

On Sunday, he teed off alone after the Drive, Chip and Putt event, engaging with fans and posing for photos before heading to catch up with his caddie.

Gary Player, the three-time Masters champion, was also at the course, preparing to hit the honorary tee shot on Thursday. He watched in amazement as 8-year-old Landyn Kelly from Henderson, Nevada, made impressive putts on the 18th green.

Scheffler took the opportunity to play with Blake Smith, his longtime manager, who had never played Augusta National. As Scheffler and McIlroy prepare for the tournament, they face the challenge of history; Adam Scott was the last player to win the Masters after a three-week break in 2013.

"I've been practicing," Scheffler noted. "I've been able to do a good amount at home."
