Meet the gorgeous WAGs of the 2026 Masters: from a reverse age gap to college sweethearts

Rory has been married to former PGA transport official Erica Stoll since 2017, after they met at the 2012 Ryder Cup. Their relationship was platonic at first as Rory was dating tennis player Caroline Wozniacki. After they split, he and Erica began dating in late 2014, and he told The Times of London he was "very happy in my love life."

The couple welcomed their daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, on August 31, 2020, with Rory announcing, "She is the absolute love of our lives." On May 13, 2024, he filed for divorce, but just one month later, he filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the divorce in the Palm Beach County Court.

He told The Guardian of his decision: "Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning."

In July 2025, Rory relocated his family to a $12 million, six-bedroom gated house in the Wentworth estate, close to the exclusive Wentworth Club golf course in Surrey.

Sam and Caroline both grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, and met in class at church when they were five years old. "She was actually my first Valentine when we were five years old," he recalled. "And then after that, she wanted nothing to do with me until high school."

The couple attended different high schools, so it wasn't until they both attended Louisiana State University that they began dating. They dated for five years before Sam proposed in 2019 at the RBC Heritage. "I hope that we'll have many years together and grow old together and get to enjoy a lot of fun things together," he said after their engagement. 

They married in 2021 and welcomed their son, Bear, in May 2024. During the 2026 Masters, it was revealed that they are expecting their second child in July.

Caroline, who prefers to keep a low profile, graduated with a degree in marketing from LSU in 2018 and a master's in counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary in 2020. 

Scottie met his wife, Meredith Scudder, when they were both seniors at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas. "At the beginning of high school, I always thought he had a super humble ambiance about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously," she told Golf Digest.

They married in a 'Winter Wonderland'-themed wedding at Arlington Hall in Dallas on December 4, 2022. The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Bennett, on May 8, 2024, and another son, Remy, in March 2026.

Meredith works as the director of curating opportunities at Behind Every Door (BED), a Christian community center organization.

Justin's wife, Kate, is also a sports enthusiast and once represented the UK as an international gymnast. She worked as an assistant at IMG, which is where she met her husband. They began dating in 2000 and married in December 2006.

They are now parents to son Leo, born in February 2009, and daughter Lottie, born in January 2012. In 2009, the couple founded the Kate and Justin Rose Foundation to support underprivileged children by focusing on nutrition, education, and experiences.

Shane met his wife, former nurse Wendy, from County Laois, Ireland, on a night out in 2012. They married in front of an intimate group of family and friends at City Hall in New York City on April 12, 2016. 

The couple is parents to two daughters, Iris, born in 2017, and Ivy, born in 2021. "I think since he's had children, it has changed a lot to how he responds to say a bad day on the golf course," Wendy said in 2022. "The girls don't care what he shoots, so when he comes home, no one's asking him any questions; they just want Dad home."

Tommy met his wife, Clare Craig, who is 23 years his senior, when she was the vice-president of Hambric Europe, an organization that represents professional golfers.

After initially turning Tommy down because of their age gap, she became his manager in 2015, and their relationship soon blossomed. "We spent more and more time together, and it just so happens we fell in love," he told Golf Monthly. "We already had such a strong connection, and the extra time spent together just tipped us over the edge."

They married in 2017 in the Bahamas in front of 40 guests and welcomed their son, Franklin, in September 2017. Tommy is also a stepdad to Clare's two children from a previous marriage, Oscar and Murray.

Jon met his wife, Kelley Cahill, a biologist and former javelin thrower, at a Halloween party during their freshman year at Arizona State University. "I have many memories from this year, but the most important was starting my relationship with Kelley," he wrote on social media. They moved in together after six months and tied the knot on December 13, 2019, at his childhood church in Bilbao, Spain.

They live in Scottsdale, Arizona, with their three children, Kepa, born in April 2021, Eneko, born in August 2022, and Alaia, born in 2024. All three children have Kelley's maiden name, 'Cahill,' as their middle name.

Xander met his wife, Maya, in 2014 while they were students at different colleges. Maya graduated from the University of California with a degree in Science and Public Health, before earning a master's in health administration at the University of Maryland. She volunteered for the Peace Corps and Project Concern International during college and has worked for Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest and the Xander Schauffele Family Foundation.

They married in Las Vegas in 2021, and to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, Xander penned on Instagram: "I proposed to her on New Year's Eve at Torrey Pines beach. We've been together since college and have made it through many of life's changes. I'm grateful for you and the years to come." They welcomed their first child, son Victor, on August 29, 2025.

Corey and his wife, Malory, are also high-school sweethearts who tied the knot in 2018.

Malory pursued a teaching career whilst she attended Wilfrid Laurier University, but is now believed to travel with her husband full-time.

They welcomed their daughter, Reis, in November 2021, and their son, Tate, in November 2024. They reside in Jupiter, Florida.

Corey has nothing but praise for his wife and the support she gives him, previously saying: "She's been my biggest fan for years and my biggest supporter. I'm really lucky to have her by my side."

Tyrrell was 30 minutes late to his wedding in Asheville, North Carolina, when he married Emily Braisher in 2021. "It was funny… the day wasn't very smooth," he said.

Emily was raised in Buckinghamshire, graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2020, and is regularly seen supporting her husband at tournaments around the world.

She writes a popular blog called 'Wife on Tour' as an "outlet for my thoughts and daily life happenings".

"The 'WAG' lifestyle can come across as nothing short of glamour and bliss, but in reality being away from home and living out of a suitcase can be tough at times," she once wrote.

Swedish golfer Ludvig has been dating athlete Olivia Peet for three years. Olivia grew up in Manchester, UK, but played tennis at Texas Tech University, where she met Ludvig.

Olivia primarily played at the No. 1 singles spot for the school and reached 115th in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rankings. She graduated in 2023 with a degree in sport management and is now a fitness influencer.

In 2024, Olivia and Ludvig moved in together in Florida. The professional golfer revealed at the time that they had bought a house and spent a lot of time together renovating.
