Love on the Greens: Golf Stars’ Real-Life Romances in “Full Swing” Season 3

Netflix’s “Full Swing” has just kicked off its highly-anticipated Season 3, and guess what? It’s not just about the golf swings and putts—it’s got plenty of love stories, too! This season dives deep into the off-course lives of golf legends, featuring their partners who cheer them on from the sidelines. From the intensity of championship lives to heartwarming relationships, the docuseries paints a vibrant picture of love in the golfing world.

Get ready to swoon over Scottie Scheffler and his wife, Meredith Scudder. These high school sweethearts took their sweet time, with Scottie playing the long game for years until they upped their relationship status senior year. The couple’s romantic hike proposal at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve speaks volumes—the scenic backdrop of Texas is a perfect match for their love story! They tied the knot on December 4, 2020, and baby news also flashes on the scoreboard, with their son Bennett arriving on May 8, 2024. A true power couple, Meredith even caddied for Scottie during tournaments, proving behind every successful man, there’s a wife ready to help him out.

Then there’s Rory McIlroy, who met his now-wife Erica Stoll at the 2012 Ryder Cup—talk about a meet-cute! Stoll, a PGA transport official, saved Rory’s bacon by getting him to his tee time on time (can we get a round of applause?). After a two-year friendship, they started dating in 2014 and finally wed in 2017. Despite spinning some serious drama with a divorce filing in May 2024, the couple swiftly made amends, realizing their bond as a family comes first. Cue the happy ending!

And let’s not forget about Ludvig Åberg, who debuted his romance with Olivia Peet around the 2023 Ryder Cup and has had her by his side through thick and thin. She’s been celebrating his recent wins, including at the Genesis Invitational in February 2025.

So, if you’re a fan of love stories that come with plenty of birdies and eagles, “Full Swing” Season 3 is a must-watch. These golf stars prove that while tournament trophies may shine, it’s the strength of their relationships that truly stands the test of time.
