Scottie Scheffler enters the 2024 Masters Tournament as the world's top ranked pro golfer and one of the favorites to earn the iconic green jacket on Sunday. His close friend and fellow American golfer Sam Burns will also compete at Augusta National Golf Club this week.

While Scheffler won the prestigious tournament in 2022, and Burns' best finish was last year when he finished in a tie for 29th, the two golfers are facing similar situations in their personal lives. Scheffler and Burns are expected to become fathers for the first time at some point in the next several days or weeks. 

Scheffler's wife Meredith is due in late April, while Burns' wife Carolina's due date is approaching in around nine days.
