Masson finds joy in golf with son in tow

Life on the LPGA Tour has changed drastically for Caroline Masson over the past year.

Her priorities are no longer just centered around golf, but instead being the best mother she can to her son Benton, who turns two in April.

While the two roles may be equally demanding, the German golfer wants to prove that she can juggle both.

"It's a bit more busy with less time to focus on the things that I used to do," said the world No. 291 on the sidelines of the recent HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore.

"He's my No. 1 priority, so I have to make enough time for him, but also make enough time to be able to compete, which is not easy.

"These are the best players in the world, so it's tough to juggle both, but it's been really enjoyable."

Since the 35-year-old returned to professional golf in March 2024, she has traveled to most tournaments with Benton and her husband Jason McDede, who is women's world No. 1 Nelly Korda's caddie.
