“Teddy’s a real positive influence. We were in a good mood all day. He did a good job helping me stay patient, not overthink things out there,” Scheffler said.

Scheffler even thinks the world of Scott, and later decided to work with him. “I was attracted to him just being a potential good partner for me out on the course,” Scheffler added.

Additionally, the focus was on Bubba Watson working with Scott before this. Their partnership was lauded for a deeper connection the two had and caused quite the commotion when they parted ways.

The veteran caddie also teaches golf online and wanted to work on his classes more. Especially after parting ways with Watson after 15 long years. Ultimately, Scheffler was the one who reached out and wanted to play with Scott at his side. So far, it seems like the partnership has worked out.
