Sam Burns and his wife, Caroline Campbell, are expecting their second child, with the baby due in July, according to a report that surfaced April 9 during Live From the Masters. The update came as Burns prepared to play the 2026 Masters on April 10, keeping the 29-year-old from Shreveport, Louisiana, in the middle of a major week on and off the course.
Todd Lewis said on the broadcast that Burns and Campbell already have a son named Bear and that the family is waiting to find out the next baby’s name when the child arrives in July. Burns has five PGA Tour wins and more than $35 million in career earnings, but the personal news landed as he was competing at Augusta, where golf and family life have often overlapped for him.
The timing fits a pattern that has followed Burns for years. He met Campbell at church when they were 5 years old, according to People, and he has often posted about her and their family on Instagram. In 2019, Burns wrote that he had married the woman of his dreams. A year later, he posted, “24 never looked so good! Happy Birthday love.” In 2021, he wrote, “Happy 2 years to my bride! I couldn’t imagine doing life without you. Here’s to many more memories together with the most beautiful person I know inside and out. I love you, Caroline Burns!”

Burns later confirmed Bear’s arrival on April 22 after playing a nine-hole pro-am Wednesday morning in the Queen City, and the PGA Tour said Bear was born shortly after Burns finished a T44 at the RBC Heritage. Burns also said the unusual name Bear was mostly his idea, and he shared a photo in 2025 showing him walking on a golf course with his son. The family now appears to be growing again just as Burns is deep in another Masters appearance.

That parallel life has become part of Burns’ public image: a top golfer with a young family, and a player whose biggest weeks now include a second set of milestones at home. What happens in July will add another chapter to that story, but for now the Masters has him focused on the leaderboard while his family prepares for another child.
