Scottie Scheffler News Emerges This Weekend Amid Winning The Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Scottie Scheffler made headlines again this weekend, earning his first Claret Jug at Royal Portrush with a composed final-round 68. The World No. 1 held off Harris English by four shots, adding The Open to his growing list of major wins.
Scheffler needs only a U.S. Open win to complete the career Grand Slam, something only six men in golf history have achieved.
But it wasn’t just Scheffler taking home a big check. His caddie, Ted Scott, walked away with a serious payday, too. With Scheffler earning $3.1 million for the win and assuming Scott received the standard 10% cut, the caddie earned $310,000 for the week. That bumps his 2025 earnings into the $1.8 to $2 million range, which would put him around 70th on the PGA Tour’s money list if he were a player.
Scott, who caddied for Bubba Watson during his two Masters wins, joined Scheffler in 2021. The two were introduced through a Bible study session after Scheffler had partnered with Watson at the Zurich Classic.
“I just think the world of him as a person,” Scheffler said. “That’s why I was attracted to him.”
Their partnership almost didn’t happen.
“I said, ‘I don’t know if I want to work for you because of your attitude,’” Scott recalled on Netflix’s “Full Swing.” But Scheffler owned it, saying, “That’s a fair question, and I’m willing to work on it.”
Ted Scott would be roughly 60th on this years pga tour money list.
That is how good Scottie Scheffler is playing.

Clearly, he did. Since joining forces, they’ve won two Masters, a PGA Championship and now The Open. With Scott’s calm demeanor and sharp course management, they’ve become one of the most dominant player-caddie duos in recent memory.
With each win, they are building more than a legacy, they’re stacking serious checks.
