Scottie Scheffler’s historic win at the RBC Heritage just one week after his Masters feat has asserted him as an undefeatable force in golf circles. But this series of four wins out of five starts in 2024 is not just bountiful for World No. 1 but also for his caddie, Ted Scott. The veteran caddie added a fourth Masters win to his record this year, making him one of the richest caddies on the PGA Tour this year.

It is important to note that the average weekly wage of a PGA Tour caddie is between $1,500 and $4,000. Additionally, following the general standard, Scott would have earned at least a 10% cut out of Scheffler’s winner’s payout. This makes the Masters not only a historic moment in his life as a caddie but also one worth around $360,000.

Following a similar prize purse from the Masters, Scheffler’s record-breaking win after ANGC at the RBC Heritage also fetched his bagman another $360,000. Factoring in his other two wins at THE PLAYERS Championship and the Arnold Palmer Invitational would add another $450,000 each to the bagman’s wallet.

Thus, from the star golfer’s four wins alone, Ted Scott seems to have earned a minimum of $1.62 million so far in 2024. Scheffler also finished T2 with a score of 11-under-par at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, a feat that fetched him a total of $553,735. Tracing back to the norms, the caddies are guaranteed 7% of the winner’s payout for top-ten finishes. This would mean that it is safe to add another $38,761 to Scott’s already hefty wallet of $1.62 million, totaling up his 2024 earnings to around $1.66 million solely earned from Scheffler’s earnings.

Considering the A-game that Scheffler has presented to the golf world so far, it is safe to say that Scott’s in for a huge boost to his bank account this season. The duo share an incredible relationship, and there have been many instances when the World #1 golfer has thanked Scott for his presence. The soon-to-be-dad won hearts after he took his Masters’ victory walk with Teddy, and thanked him in his speech. With the kind of success that Ted Scott has been having, one can lose track of their hard work, but not him. He knows to enjoy it, and he sure knows how to get better too!

Scottie Scheffler’s caddie’s motto for life and success

“If you want to get better at something, find people who are better than you and spend time with them,” said Ted Scott. Scott is a seasoned caddie who comes with a lot of experience and has carried Bubba Watson’s bag as well. It seems Scott has lived life with this motto in mind. because he sure seems to getting better at his job!

A caddie’s work in a golfer’s win is not to be ignored, and in a way, Scheffler’s success is Scott’s too. Being a fairly good golfer himself with a handicap of +4, Ted Scott has chosen the caddie road and spent time with some of the greatest golfers the game has seen. Scott has caddied for around one and a half dozen PGA Tour wins so far, including four wins at Augusta (2 with Scheffler, 2 with Watson).
