Scottie Scheffler had an incredible year on the links, with his dominance reverberating around the golf world.
Scheffler took home around $62million in prize money this year, by far the most of day golfer with the several events he won.
And if there is one person who has benefitted the most from Scheffler’s success, beyond himself, it is his caddie, Ted Scott.
Scott has earned an astounding $5million this season from just being the caddie for the No 1 golfer on the planet.
Scott won $2.6million from Scheffler’s victories before the FedEx Cup playoffs, and added $2.5million to his yearly total after Scheffler won $25million himself, per Golf Digest.
Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, has reportedly earned more than $5million this season
Earning $5.1million this year would have put Scott as a golfer in the top-20 money earners on the PGA Tour, all for holding the clubs and walking the course with Scheffler.
Scott never swinging a club once would have put him ahead of golf stars such as Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
Scott has only been the caddie for Scheffler for a few years, after retiring as Bubba Watson’s caddie in 2021. He was eventually talked out of retirement and found the best meal ticket ever.
Scheffler’s caddie knows how ridiculous it is he is making more than $5million this year for his profession.
Of Scheffler’s 20 events this season, we won eight, with only three tournaments where he did not finish in the top 10.
‘Yep. I’m not coming back until 2026,’ Scott posted to X a few days ago in reaction to Scheffler’s crazy year.
It’s a good bet that until Scheffler’s pace of winning slows down, Scott will not temper how much he caddies for the world’s No 1 golfer.
