Hideki Matsuyama Wife Mei

Mei Inui

He’s really, really shy,” Eiko Oizumi, a writer and photographer for Golf Today Japan,

Hideki Matsuyama likes to keep his personal life away from the golf course, but he did say that he married his wife Mei in January 2017.

“No one really asked me if I was married, so I didn’t have to answer that question,” Matsuyama said. “But I felt that after the PGA would be a good time, because our baby is born and I thought that would be a good time to let everyone know.”

Mei gave birth to their daughter Kanna in July 2017.  Although he was ecstatic about becoming a father, he told Golf Digest he kept his head in the game.

“Of course, happy about the family,” he replied. “But golf is golf. Once we get on the golf course, that’s what I’m thinking about. “

“When things get tough, I sometimes put my head down and become quiet,” Matsuyama told USA Today after the 2016 Hero World Challenge. “But Mei was always positive throughout, even the back nine, and was giving me good vibes, which really helped coming in.”
