Masters Par-3 Contest Shines Spotlight on Golf Stars’ Glamorous Partners

Augusta, Georgia – The annual Par-3 Contest at the Masters Tournament showcased not only exceptional golfing talent but also the stunning partners accompanying the players. On April 9, 2025, as the caddies were their wives and girlfriends, the event drew significant attention for its mix of charm and glamour.

Dustin Johnson‘s wife, Paulina Gretzky, led the pack, captivating fans with her striking presence. Johnson, the defending champion, is poised to reclaim his title amid competition from golfers like Jon Rahm and Ludvig Åberg. However, it was the players’ partners who stole the show before the tournament officially commenced.

Among them was Ludvig Åberg’s girlfriend, Olivia Peet, a rising talent in the tennis world. Currently gaining recognition during her participation in the Par-3 contest, Peet excited spectators as she caddied for Åberg. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll showcased their solid relationship, having reconciled after a brief separation last year.

Paulina Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, has made a name for herself beyond her father’s shadow. She is a model, actress, and singer known for her roles in films like *Grown Ups 2* and *Fame*. Paulina and Dustin Johnson became engaged in 2013, finally tying the knot in April 2022. They share two children, River and Tatum, with their wedding attended by high-profile guests like Kid Rock, who performed at the nuptials.

Paulina has touched on the challenges of being in the public eye, revealing in a Netflix interview how she received death threats following Johnson’s controversial switch to LIV Golf for a reported $150 million. She remarked, “People were aggressive, that’s for sure. But that’s when I shut it down. I didn’t need to look at this. Everyone has an opinion, that’s fine.”

Brooks Koepka’s partner, Jena Sims, also made headlines when she shared the special moment they met at the 2015 Masters. They have been together for over five years and welcomed their first child, Crew, in July 2023. Koepka spoke about how Sims has positively impacted his life, saying, “The way I’m wired, I’m all on or all off. But in the past five years I’ve found my happiness, much of which can be attributed to Jena.”

Scottie Scheffler, the current PGA Tour sensation, married his high school sweetheart Meredith Scudder in December 2020. The couple has maintained a relatively low profile, with Scudder primarily supporting Scheffler at tournaments. Their son, Bennett, was born on May 8, 2024. Meredith, who previously worked with various humanitarian organizations, carries the couple’s shared dream of raising a family together while supporting Scottie’s golfing journey.

Rory McIlroy’s relationship with Erica Stoll has also faced scrutiny. The couple, who wed in 2017, has navigated a public breakup before reconciling. Erica, with a background in the PGA operations, has frequently shown her support as McIlroy competes in major tournaments. The couple shares a daughter, Poppy, born in 2020, and enjoyed the Par-3 competition together.

Other notable couples included Jon Rahm and his wife Kelley, who recently announced they are expecting their third child, and Patrick Cantlay with fiancée Nikki Guidish, who exchanged vows just after the Ryder Cup in Rome.

As the Masters Tournament unfolds, the elegance and glamour of the players’ partners continue to grace the Augusta National, enhancing the allure of one of golf’s most prestigious events.
