Scottie Scheffler breaks down in tears😭: Shockingly announces resignation following Tiger Woods’ controversial statement.

Masters champion Scottie Scheffler has won more than $62 million in prize money alone this year – with his caddie Ted Sco

 

Scottie Scheffler has a long way to go before he can match Tiger Woods’ achievements, but he’s already following in the footsteps of the golf legend in one significant way.

 

Much like Woods, Scheffler is making his caddie a wealthy man. The 28-year-old golfer has had an exceptional 2024, earning more than $62 million in prize money after clinching his second title at Augusta and the FedEx Cup crown this month.

 

 

 

In addition to these victories, Scheffler also won five more PGA Tour tournaments and bagged the Olympic gold medal in Paris. Typically, a professional player’s caddie can expect to receive between 7 and 10 percent of the winnings from a tournament victory.

 

 

This means that Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott, who started working with him after parting ways with Bubba Watson in 2021, would have earned millions of dollars from this year alone. Scott admitted on the Pardon My Take podcast that he needs to hire an accountant due to the size of his earnings. “We have a girl that helps us pay bills,” he shared.

 

 

“Basically because I’m a child and I can’t keep track of all that stuff. She quickly took over that job and texts me at the end of each week, saying, ‘Hey, this is how much we’re paying Ted’. I’m like, “That’s great.”

 

 

Scott isn’t the only caddie to hit the jackpot by teaming up with a golf legend. Steve Williams, who was on Tiger Woods’ bag, became New Zealand’s top-earning sports figure in 2000, surpassing Olympic gold medalist Mark Todd and rugby superstar Jonah Lomu.
