Ted Scott will not be on the bag of Scottie Scheffler at this week’s BMW Championship at Caves Valley in Maryland, it has been confirmed by a PGA Tour spokesperson to GolfMagic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott<\/a> had to return home to attend a private family matter after last Saturday’s third round of the FedEx St Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler<\/a>‘s good friend and the PGA Tour<\/a>‘s chaplain Brad Payne<\/a> stepped in for the final round of the first Playoffs event last Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Payne drove from his home town of Dallas, Texas, on Saturday night to be with Scheffler ahead of the final round in Memphis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler went on to finish one shot shy of a playoff that was eventually won by Justin Rose.<\/p>\n

In the latest update provided to GolfMagic by a PGA Tour spokesperson, Scheffler will once again be without Scott at this week’s BMW Championship as he “continues to attend to a private family matter.”<\/p>\n

Scheffler has acquired the stand-in services of Chris KIrk<\/a>‘s normal caddie Mike Cromie<\/a> at Caves Valley GC in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Kirk is letting Cromie caddie for Scheffler after he finished just outside the top 50 in the FedEx Cup that advanced to the BMW.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He agonisingly finished in 51st place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

World No.1 Scheffler is leading the season-long PGA Tour race as he bids to become the first player in history to successfully defend the FedEx Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PGA Tour also confirmed to GolfMagic it remains unknown at this stage whether Scott will be able to return for next week’s Tour Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just had it confirmed from a PGA Tour spokesperson that Ted Scott will still not be on the bag for Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship \u274c<\/p>\n

Cromie has been on the bag for KIrk since 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kirk has won six times on the PGA Tour with his last victory coming at The Sentry in January 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler has won all 17 of his career PGA Tour titles, including his Olympic gold medal in Paris last summer, with Scott on the bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cromie is a talented golfer himself having played college golf at University of Georgia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler starts a red-hot 11\/4 favourite to win the BMW Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The runaway World No.1 and FedEx Cup leader is seeking a fifth win of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Austria’s Sepp Straka was forced to withdraw on the eve of the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Straka’s WD is a blow to his chances of making the automatic top six on the European Ryder Cup team.<\/p>\n

But given he’s won twice already this season, you would think he’s assured of a captain’s pick should he not qualify on merit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
