Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 BMW Championship with stand-in caddie Michael Cromie, who’ll earn $360,000 after guiding him to a comeback victory.
Scottie Scheffler’s stand-in caddie Michael Cromie celebrated with the golfer after the former came back from four shots down to win the BMW Championship 2025 at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland on Sunday. This was the first time Scheffler didn’t have his usual caddie, Ted Scott, accompanying him at a major tournament.

However, that didn’t prove to be a hurdle as Cromie supported the golfer through the rounds as he defeated Scotland’s Bob MacIntyre in the final round. As the winner’s caddie, he is set to have a handsome payday. Michael Cromie is set to win $360,000 for being Scheffler’s caddie, as per a report by The Mirror.
Sunday’s win was Scheffler’s 18th career PGA Tour title. It was even more iconic as it will go down as one of the greatest comebacks in the sport. Notably, Scheffler was four shots behind but came back after MacIntyre crumbled in the first, second, and fifth holes of the final round.
