Adam Scott a First-Time Father


Adam Scott's wife Marie Kojzar gave birth to the couple's first child. The baby girl, Bo Vera Scott, was born Sunday in Queensland, Australia.

Scott and Marie married last April after the Masters.

In a statement, Scott said, "We are proud and happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Bo Vera Scott, born on Sunday 15 February 2015". Scott then added, "Thank you to Dr. Flynn and the team at Pindara Private Hospital on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia."

The former top-ranked player in the world has not played this year. His most recent event was the Australian PGA Championship, where he tied for second.

The 2013 Masters champion missed the PGA Tour events in Hawaii to be with his wife during her final months of pregnancy.

The 34-year-old from Adelaide is expected to return for the Florida Swing, either the Honda Classic on February 26 or the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral, which starts March 5.
