Scottie Scheffler’s weekend triumph at the PGA Championship was impressive, but his son Bennett’s milestone moment arguably stole the spotlight. Video emerged of Bennett standing for the first time—possibly—at Quail Hollow, turning heads for reasons beyond golf.
Most children take their first steps at home or daycare. Bennett, however, began mastering mobility on one of golf’s grandest stages, where millions watched his father compete. Like his dad, he’s stepping up early—literally and figuratively.
Spectrum News 1’s Mike Solarte shared the moment, highlighting mom’s pure, joyful reaction. Bennett’s emergence as a fan favorite offered a touching subplot to a high-stakes tournament weekend.
Beyond standing tall, Bennett joined his father to sign a scorecard and flip through a yardage book. While some, like Club Pro Guy, jested about his spotlight, many see his charm as a sign of a budding personality in golf’s youngest circle.
