Scottie Scheffler’s Caddie Ted Scott’s Mind-Blowing Millions: Cashing In Big After World No. 1’s Epic Three-Win Streak in Just One Month

Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1 golfer, has been unstoppable in 2025, and his caddie, Ted Scott, is reaping the rewards of a lifetime. With Scheffler’s jaw-dropping three victories in a single month—triumphs at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, and the Memorial Tournament—Scott has pocketed a fortune that would make most PGA Tour pros green with envy. In May 2025 alone, Scott’s estimated earnings soared to nearly $1 million, cementing his status as one of the richest caddies in golf history. Here’s the electrifying story of how Scott’s partnership with Scheffler is turning fairways into goldmines.

A Million-Dollar Month on the Bag

Scheffler’s scorching hot streak in May 2025 saw him bank a staggering $9.629 million across four tournaments, including wins at the Byron Nelson ($1.71 million), the PGA Championship ($3.42 million), and the Memorial Tournament ($4 million), plus a T4 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Assuming the industry-standard caddie cut—10% for wins, 7% for top-10 finishes, and 5% for making the cut—Scott hauled in an estimated $963,000 in just one month. That’s more than Rory McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, and Max Homa earned in the same period, placing Scott in the top 90 on the PGA Tour money list for May alone. If Scott were a player, he’d be out-earning stars like Will Zalatoris and Tom Kim, proving that carrying Scheffler’s bag is one of the sweetest gigs in sports.

From Bible Study to Big Bucks

The Scheffler-Scott partnership, which began in late 2021, is more than just professional—it’s personal. The duo bonded over a shared faith, meeting through a Bible study group before teaming up on the course. Scheffler, seeking a Christian caddie, convinced Scott to come out of retirement after a 15-year stint with Bubba Watson, where Scott helped secure two Masters titles. “I just think the world of him as a person,” Scheffler said of Scott, highlighting the trust that fuels their success. Scott’s steady presence has been crucial, especially during Scheffler’s clutch moments, like his dominant five-shot PGA Championship win at Quail Hollow. Scott himself praised Scheffler’s killer instinct: “When people get close, he steps on the gas.”

A Career-Changing Payday

Scott’s 2025 earnings build on an already lucrative career. In 2024, he reportedly banked over $5.2 million thanks to Scheffler’s nine wins, including the Masters and the FedEx Cup, out-earning players like Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland. The 2025 season has only upped the ante, with Scott’s May haul pushing his year-to-date bonuses past $1.4 million by June. Add in an undisclosed base salary and potential shares of Scheffler’s Comcast Business Top 10 bonuses ($8 million in 2024), and Scott’s total earnings could approach $6 million for the year. His $963,000 May payday alone would rank him 71st on the PGA Tour money list, sandwiched between Wyndham Clark and Matt Fitzpatrick.

More Than Money: A Dream Team

For Scott, it’s not just about the cash. He describes Scheffler as a “pure” competitor, likening him to amateur legend Bobby Jones for his love of the game over fame or fortune. Scheffler, who jokingly calls himself “a child” when it comes to finances, relies on an assistant to handle Scott’s payments, texting him weekly totals with a casual, “That’s great.” This laid-back dynamic belies their on-course dominance, with Scott’s veteran savvy complementing Scheffler’s relentless drive. Their four Masters wins together (two with Scheffler, two with Watson) place Scott among the most decorated caddies at Augusta.

What’s Next for Golf’s Golden Duo?

With Scheffler skipping the 2025 RBC Canadian Open to prepare for the U.S. Open at Oakmont, Scott has a brief breather before the next big payday. The Travelers Championship, a $20 million signature event, looms large, and Scheffler’s form suggests more wins are on the horizon. For Scott, every step alongside the World No. 1 is a chance to add to his staggering earnings—and his legacy. As Scheffler continues to rewrite golf’s record books, Ted Scott’s bank account is proof that backing the right horse can lead to riches beyond imagination.
