But it wasn’t until November 2022 that the couple’s romance reached a new high when Meissner proposed to Kennedy at Pebble Beach in California. He shared the moment on Instagram, captioning it, “Favorite person in my favorite place. Love you forever! ❤️.” The couple eventually tied the knot on November 18, 2023, at the Fort Worth Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

After exchanging vows, the now 26-year-old Meissner celebrated the night with a heartfelt post on Instagram, saying, “Danced the night away with the whole gang! Love you KPM!” And Meissner’s joy has always been evident when it comes to her, especially given how she has been for him during all his highs and lows.

On his KFT journey, for instance, Kennedy was just a striking presence that Meissner shared their picture and said in 2022: “Man, I love my team. Decent couple weeks on the KFT. Looking for the putter to heat up with the temps this week in Wichita. 🫠🥵.” However, one of the reasons Kennedy shows so much support for her husband is that she… herself played golf!
