Golfer Will Zalatoris met his wife, Caitlin Salesmanwhile attending Wake Forest University, and she has been by his side ever since.
The couple made their romance public in 2018, the same year Zalatoris became a golf professional.
The following year, he gushed about Sellers on her birthday, writing on Instagram in July 2019, “Happy 24th love! I am incredibly grateful for you. More Austin, TX, please.”
On and off the track, Zalatoris had a big year in 2021, proposing to Sellers in April and finishing second in his Masters debut. Months later, he was named the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year.
Zalatoris and Sellers tied the knot in December 2022. Throughout their relationship, Sellers remained Zalatoris’ biggest fan, even helping him recover from back surgery in 2023 that sidelined his career.
