Who Is Joel Dahmen's Wife?
Joel Dahmen married Lona Skutt in December 2018 and the couple have recently announced the birth of their first child
American Joel Dahmen forced himself into the PGA Tour's winner's circle for the very first time in 2021. His victory came at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in the Dominican Republic - and he celebrated in good style with his wife, Lona Skutt.
You can find the whole story of how they met on their wedding website. In short, while waiting to be served in an eatery, Dahmen struck up a conversation and said he would buy Lona a slice of pizza if she got up the line faster than him.
Dahmen was offered Lona's number and the rest, as they say, is history. After receiving a call from the professional golfer a week later, Lona was soon cancelling her plans to move to New York.
The pair ended up meeting for drinks and going to a friend's barbecue - and they have been together even since. After dating for seven years, they got married in December 2018.
The Dahmens live in Scottsdale, and in January this year they announced the arrival of their first child, Riggs William Dahmen. He took to Instagram to share a picture of the new baby, who was born on 19 January.

Lona has been a great source of motivation for Dahmen, especially after his mother died of pancreatic cancer. Then his brother was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which Dahmen himself survived in 2011.
It comes as no surprise that Lona travels with him out on Tour. However, with the arrival of the new baby, we can probably expect the couple to be spending a little time away from the course at the start of this year.
