Meet the Real-Life Loves of the ‘Full Swing’ Cast
February 25, 2025 | by ltcinsuranceshopper

Tournament wins come and go, but much of the cast of Full Swing has their perfect match away from the golf course.
Season 3 of the Netflix documentary series — which dropped on Feb. 25 — highlights some of the world’s greatest golf stars in both their personal and professional lives. While it follows the players as they take on all four of golf’s major championships — the Masters, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship — the show also shares a glimpse into some of their biggest supporters on and off the course: their romantic partners.
The trailer for the season teased that while there will be plenty of competition tension surrounding the game, it will also include drama centered on their love lives.
In one scene, golfers describe the moment when the news broke of Rory McIlroy’s brief divorce filing from his wife Erica Stoll, followed by a confessional in which the Irish professional golfer reflects on the challenge of balancing his roles as “the best golfer, the best husband [and] the best dad.”
But while some episodes will be packed with intense emotions, there are also plenty of heartfelt moments shared with their partners — including Scottie Scheffler’s sweet moment posing with his wife and newborn son after his victory at the Tour Championship.
From a couple that met while both working at the 2012 Ryder Cup to one that has known each other since they were kids, meet the real-life loves of the Full Swing season 3 cast.

Scottie Scheffler’s wife Meredith Scudder has been by his side from the start of his professional golf journey to his rise to fame.
The high school sweethearts were friends for years until sparking a romance during their senior year. During a press conference for the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions, Scottie joked that he “had to woo her for a few years” before they could turn their relationship romantic.
After four years of dating long distance through college, the professional golfer proposed to Meredith during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas. On Dec. 4, 2020, Scottie and Meredith wed in a church ceremony in their hometown of Dallas.
In addition to cheering him on, Meredith has supported Scottie on the golf course by caddying for him at the 2022 Masters Tournament and then again during the Par 3 contest the following year.
The couple welcomed their first child, son Bennett, on May 8, 2024.
Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll

Rory McIlroy met his wife, Erica Stoll, at the 2012 Ryder Cup, where she was a PGA transport official. She helped secure a police escort for McIlroy when he overslept and nearly missed his tee time, as he recalled to the Golf Channel in August 2019.
At the time, McIlroy was in another relationship, and he and Stoll remained friends for nearly two years before quietly beginning to date in late 2014. In May 2015, he told the Times of London that they had been together for just over six months.
“I am very happy in my love life. We haven’t really been putting it out there,” he said. “The past six or seven months have been really nice. That part of my life is going great.”
The pair got married on April 22, 2017, and welcomed their daughter, Poppy Kennedy, on Aug. 31, 2020.
In May 2024, McIlroy filed for divorce but withdrew the filing a month later. The same day, McIlroy told The Guardian they had realized their “best future was as a family together.”
“Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning,” he added.

Ludvig Åberg has been dating his girlfriend, Olivia Peet, since at least September 2023, when they stepped out together the week of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. Since then, she has been one of his biggest cheerleaders.
Following Åberg’s victory at The Genesis Invitational in February 2025, Peet shared her pride in an interview with the PGA Tour, describing the moment as a “mixture of proud [and] emotional.”
“He works so hard and just to see it all pay off,” Peet said.
Her admiration for Åberg also goes beyond his accomplishments in his career.
“I’m so impressed with who he is on and off the golf course,” she continued. “Honestly, he’s just the best human and he’s just so professional. Acts like a champ, is a champ. Yeah, he’s just the best.”

The pair tied the knot on Oct. 5, 2019. One year later, Fowler shared a sweet message to Stokke on Instagram in honor of their first wedding anniversary.
“A year ago today we started our next chapter … it has definitely been a crazy year with everything going on but I’m glad we have each other,” he wrote. “I wouldn’t want it any other way!”
Fowler added, “I’m excited for the rest of our lives together! I love you😘.”
They welcomed their first child, daughter Maya Fowler, on Nov. 18, 2021. In the summer of 2024, their second daughter, Nellie, was born.

Jillian has been a constant supporter of her husband’s golf career, and even once served as his caddy. During season 2 of Full Swing, Keegan shared that Jillian is the “real champion” of their family.
“She holds us all together,” he said.
Keegan also appreciates having his wife and kids with him at tournaments to cheer him on. “Best part about the FL swing is having my family with me!” he wrote on Instagram in March 2023.

The pair wed at the Royal Palms in Phoenix, Ariz., on Dec. 15, 2018. Four years later, Joel and Lona became parents on Jan. 19, 2023, when they welcomed their son, Riggs William.
Lona, who has made appearances alongside her husband in the first two seasons of Full Swing, has been a big support system for Joel throughout his career.
“She’s been with me at my lowest and my highest,” Joel told The Seattle Times in August 2016. “She is a big reason I am where I am, always supporting me, but also kicking my butt when I need it.”
