But behind the scenes, their significant others are getting ready to take center stage, showcasing their style, charm, and wit as they support their partners through the highs and lows of competition.
In this exclusive report, The Scholarly Note takes a closer look at the wives and girlfriends of Team USA, revealing the fascinating stories behind these stunning women. From doctors to artists, former athletes to social media influencers, each one has a unique personality that shines brighter than the golf ball flying through the air.
Scottie Scheffler's Superstar Wife: Meredith Scudder
Meet Meredith Scudder, the radiant wife of world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler. This high school sweetheart couple has been making headlines with their adorable off-screen moments, and it's easy to see why they're one of the most loved couples in golf.
Meredith, a former athlete herself, has been supporting Scottie through his incredible rise to fame. She's always by his side, whether he's winning majors or dealing with setbacks on the course. And when Scottie welcomed their baby boy, Bennett, Meredith was beaming with joy, proudly sharing their new addition with fans.
But what makes Meredith stand out from the rest? Her humility and kind heart are traits that shine through in every interview. As she once said about Scottie's early days as a golfer: "He had this super humble ambiance about him." No wonder they're one of golf's most beloved couples!
The Artistic Mrs. Henley: Teil Duncan
Russell Henley's wife, Teil Duncan, is a true Renaissance woman. By day, she's an accomplished visual artist with a passion for abstract expressionism; by night, she's the proud mom of three rambunctious kids.
Teil and Russell met at her sister's wedding (yes, you read that right!), and it was love at first sight. This artistic couple balances each other out perfectly – while Teil brings creativity to their home life, Russell fuels his golf game with focus and determination.
But what's truly impressive about Teil is her drive and entrepreneurial spirit. She's built a loyal following on Instagram, showcasing her artwork and inspiring fans around the world. Who knew that this talented artist would be part of Team USA?
Maya Lowe: Xander Schauffele's Perfect Match
Xander Schauffele's wife, Maya Lowe, has been his rock through the ups and downs of professional golf. As a former healthcare worker turned philanthropist, she brings compassion and kindness to everything she does.
The couple met at San Diego State University in 2014, and seven years later, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. Maya's now working with Xander's foundation, focusing on youth golf and environmental sustainability – a true partnership in every sense!
Jillian Wisniewski: Justin Thomas' Partner in Crime
Justin Thomas is one of the most senior members of Team USA, but his wife Jillian is anything but old-school. This Kentucky native graduated from the University of Kentucky with a journalism degree and now works at an advertising agency in Chicago.
The couple's love story began when they were both just out of college, and after years of dating, they finally tied the knot in 2022. With their adorable baby girl, Molly Grace, joining the family last year, Jillian is living her best life – and we can't get enough of her sparkly personality!
Melody Means: JJ Spaun's Sweetheart
JJ Spaun's wife, Melody Means, has been his biggest supporter since they met through mutual friends in California. This lovely couple married on a beach (how romantic!), and their love story is the stuff of fairytales.
Melody is an accomplished artist in her own right – her Instagram account is filled with stunning works of art that showcase her creativity and flair. When JJ won his historic US Open title, Melody was right there beside him, beaming with pride.
Katherine Zhu Morikawa: Colin Morikawa's Tennis Star Turned Golf Prodigy
Colin Morikawa's wife, Katherine Zhu Morikawa, is a true force to be reckoned with. As the daughter of a tennis champion, she knew her way around a court from an early age – and later, she traded in her racket for a golf club.
This talented golfer attended Pepperdine University on a scholarship, where she met Colin (who was playing for Cal at the time). Katherine's Instagram account is a must-follow, showcasing her love of art, fashion, and golf.
Helen Bowers: Harris English's Steady Partner
Harris English's wife, Helen Bowers, is a low-key legend in our book. This native of Greenwich, Connecticut met Harris at the University of Georgia in 2010 – and eight years later, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Sea Island.
While she keeps a relatively low profile on social media, we've caught glimpses of her philanthropic work and her passion for real estate (who knew?). Whatever Helen does, it's clear that she brings balance and harmony to Harris' life – perfect for a high-stakes golfer!
Dana Myeroff: Ben Griffin's Fiancée
Ben Griffin's fiancée, Dana Myeroff, is an Ohio native who's making waves in the business world. After graduating from Lehigh University with a business degree, she landed a top job at EY (one of the 'Big Four' accounting firms) – and now works for an AI-powered contract management software company.
When Ben proposed to Dana last year at a picturesque backdrop in Georgia, it was the ultimate fairytale moment. With her stunning looks and razor-sharp intellect, we can't wait to see what this talented young woman does next!
Kelsey Dalition: Cameron Young's Partner in Golf
Cameron Young's wife, Kelsey Dalotion, is another private but captivating figure on our list. As the partner of one of golf's rising stars, she's no stranger to the world of professional sports.
This couple married in 2021, just as Cameron was hitting his stride on the PGA Tour – and we've spotted them together at numerous tournaments since then. Kelsey may keep a low profile, but her devotion to Cameron is inspiring – and their adorable son, Henry, steals our hearts every time!
Lilia Schneider (rumored): Bryson DeChambeau's Co-Star
Bryson DeChambeau's rumored partner, Lilia Schneider, has stolen the spotlight in recent years. This up-and-coming golfer turned social media sensation graduated from Marian University in Indianapolis and was even named an NAIA scholar athlete multiple times.
With over 58,000 Instagram followers hanging on her every post, it's clear that Lilia is more than just a pretty face – she's also got the brains and beauty to back up her rise to fame. When Bryson proposed to Lilia (allegedly) with a ring so big it could blind us from space, our hearts skipped a beat!
Nikki Guidish: Patrick Cantlay's Brainy Beauty
Patrick Cantlay's wife, Nikki Guidish, is a Doctor of Pharmacy graduate from the University of South Florida – and we can't get enough of her brain power! This stunning model-turned-bodybuilder turned philanthropist has been spotted alongside Patrick at numerous charity events.
Their love story began in 2021 when they were seen together on multiple occasions – and before long, they tied the knot in Rome exactly one day after the US lost the Ryder Cup (ouch!). Nikki's intelligence, kindness, and striking looks make her a true gem of golf's WAGs!
Caroline Campbell: Sam Burns' Sweetheart
Sam Burns' wife, Caroline Campbell, is another private but captivating figure on our list. This Louisiana native graduated from LSU with a degree in marketing – and later earned her master's in counseling.
With their adorable baby boy, Bear, joining the family earlier this year, we're loving every moment of this new chapter for Sam and Caroline. We can't wait to see what these two talented golfers (and parents) do next!
Jillian Stacey Bradley: Keegan Bradley's First Lady
Last but certainly not least, there's Jillian Stacey Bradley – the proud partner of Team USA's Keegan Bradley. This New England native has been a constant presence at Keegan's tournaments, cheering him on from the sidelines.
With their two adorable sons, Logan and Cooper, joining the family in recent years, we're loving every moment of this tight-knit clan. As Keegan renews his career as a golfing force to be reckoned with (we're watching!), Jillian remains his rock – and our hearts go out to this incredible couple!
As the 2025 Ryder Cup tees off at Bethpage Black, we can't wait to see what these stunning women bring to the table. From doctors to artists, philanthropists to social media influencers, each one is a true gem of golf's most eligible bachelorettes.
