Mark O’Meara’s name is etched into the annals of golf history. His nearly four-decade career glittered with remarkable achievements. Now at 67, the former Masters and Open Championship winner remains a revered figure in the sport. But what about the person who has been his rock, his confidante, and his partner through it all? Let’s meet the extraordinary woman behind the legend who has been a steadfast companion and his unwavering rock. She’s none other than his wife, Meredith.

How did Meredith meet Mark O’Meara?

Meredith is the rock behind the golf veteran, Mark O’Meara. She was born and raised in Texas and is a proud graduate of Texas A&M University. She studied marketing there. In 2009, she met the golf veteran through a mutual friend in Houston. Their date led to a sparkling connection that still holds.

At the time, Meredith was a single mom to her 7-year-old son. She was precariously balancing parenthood with her aspirations. As their relationship grew more serious, she was clear about one thing: she wouldn’t uproot her son from Texas. Mark, who had fallen head over heels for the strong and independent single mom, didn’t hesitate. He decided to relocate to Houston, showing that family and love were his top priorities. 

Before Meredith, Mark was married to his first wife, Alicia, for nearly three decades. However, life on the road as a professional golfer, constantly competing in tournaments took its toll on their relationship. In 2008, Alicia filed for divorce and the two parted ways. They continued to co-parent their two children, Michelle and Shaun. Mark may have been a global golf star, but like many, he faced the complexities of balancing family and career.

Following Mark’s divorce, he found love and support with Meredith, who was simultaneously building an impressive business legacy.

Just like her husband, Meredith has carved out an impressive career of her own. With a solid background in sales and marketing, she gained valuable experience. She had also worked for two Fortune 500 pharmaceutical companies before making a name for herself in the real estate industry. She transitioned into her role as a real estate specialist with Christie’s, a prestigious Park City-based organization known for its luxury properties.

For over 16 years, Meredith has been a top producer in the business market, a niche she knows inside and out. She connects with clients and understand the unique needs of those seeking homes in these exclusive communities sets her apart. However, its her deep appreciation for what makes a golf course property truly special has earned her a reputation in the industry. She now continues to build a thriving career, all while supporting her husband’s legendary journey.

Mark once reflected on the emotional toll his divorce took on him and his game. He candidly shared, “I didn’t even want to hit a shot. It was like a car when the red light comes on. You’d better get over and get some gas. But I had no gas, and there was no gas station that could’ve filled my tank at the time.” It was a low point in his life and career. But rejuvenated and confident, he credits Meredith for helping him find his rhythm again.

From their first date to today, their connection has deepened. The golfer acknowledges Meredith’s impact on his life saying, “Meredith came into my life and just gave me more purpose to get out there and try to still keep competing.” A beautiful glimpse into their relationship was captured in 2018 during the PURE Insurance Championship when the couple invited cameras into their home. 

The warmth and chemistry between them were unmistakable. The couple’s bond goes beyond romance—it’s a partnership built on mutual respect, trust, and love, qualities that have endeared them to both fans and fellow players. Together, they’ve built a foundation of family, trust, and home – on and off the greens. And their partnership with PURE Insurance reflects this, where members are treated like family, not policyholders.
