Scott’s wife Renee Sloan also announced the family’s move in her tweet. However, she noted that the family was making the move to support their daughter’s dream.
“I will miss my new kitchen and our friends, however, this is a very exciting journey we are on with “BB”. Go get it baby girl!” she wrote. Renee also posted a screenshot of their daughter Bailey “BB” Baio’s name in the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) roster.
