Photos: Scottie Scheffler joined by son Bennett for adorable stroll at The Open

Bennett Scheffler joined his dad for an adorable stroll around Royal Birkdale during Wednesday's practice round at the 2026 Open Championship.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler dusted the field to the tune of a four-shot victory at last year's Open Championship to secure his fourth major title. But he wasn't the star in the celebration that ensued. No, his young son, Bennett, stole the show after the final round, prancing around the 18th green at Royal Portrush as his dad hoisted the Claret Jug.

This year, Bennett is 2 years old and he's a little bigger, so he was able to join his dad for a quick stroll during Wednesday's practice round ahead of the 2026 Open Championship . Check out these adorable photos of Scottie and Bennett's afternoon at Royal Birkdale.
