Golfer Will Zalatoris met his wife, Caitlin Sellers, while attending Wake Forest University and she’s been by his side ever since.
The pair went public with their romance in 2018, the same year that Zalatoris went pro in golf.
The following year, he gushed about Sellers on her birthday, writing via Instagram in July 2019, “Happy 24th, Love! Thankful for you beyond belief. More Austin, TX, please.”
On and off the course, Zalatoris had a big year in 2021 when he proposed to Sellers that April and finished as the runner-up in his Masters debut. Months later, he was named the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year.
Zalatoris and Sellers said “I do” in December 2022. Throughout their relationship, Sellers has remained Zalatoris’ No. 1 fan, even helping him heal from a back surgery in 2023 that sidelined his career.
