Ted Scott is living his best life. The caddie said as much in a hilarious social media post showcasing the incredible perks of being Scottie Scheffler’s partner in crime.
He might take a back seat to Scheffler on the links, but he’s undoubtedly the star of the pair on social media! Scott’s most recent viral moment came days after the dynamic duo topped yet another leaderboard.
The top-ranked golfer’s sidekick is raking in the dough in the 2025 PGA Tour season. He banked another $300k after Scheffler’s Open win in Northern Ireland.
Scottie Scheffler moved his total yearly earnings to more than $19.2 million while picking up his fourth win in the Tour’s final major. Scott gets up to a 10% cut as his caddie.
That puts his estimated payout thus far at a little less than $2 million.
Ted Scott is living a dream!
The golfer went viral by posting a comical video on Instagram. It’s safe to say he’s enjoying the perks of his job!
“Dreams do come true,” Scott said in that post-Open clip which featured family members. At one point, he’s seen throwing wads of cash while donning his caddie uniform top.
While he has seen a significant boost to his bank account as Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, he insists nothing’s changed at home. He still has to wake up and mow the lawn like the rest of us.
“Nothing better than coming home to my crew!” he wrote. “We have fun! Live in the moment. After all, the present IS a gift.”
Who is Scottie Scheffler’s caddie?
Ted Scott has been a on the Tour for some time. While he didn’t play golf at the college level, he’s made a huge name for himself helping others excel at the sport.
In the early 2000s, he caddied for Bubba Watson. While by the lefty’s side, he saw Watson win two majors.
After 15 years together, the duo split. Scott appeared to be headed for retirement before linking up with Scheffler in 2022.
He initially proceeded with caution on the partnership, citing Scheffler’s temper in his reasoning.
“I had never really met Scottie other than the time we played with him in the New Orleans tournament, and I saw that he was kind of feisty,” he said before accepting the opportunity. “That was one of the questions I asked him when he called me. I said, ‘I don’t know if I want to work for you because of your attitude.'”
He eventually put the worry behind him with the golfer pledging to work on his mindset. He’s been more than satisfied with that decision. No caddie has it better at the moment!
