Scottie Scheffler<\/a>‘s caddie Ted Scott enjoyed yet another huge payday after the world No 1 cruised to a dominant four-shot victory at The Open<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n

Scott has been an integral part of Scheffler’s rise to the summit of golf, having first teamed up with him in late 2021.<\/p>\n

And since, the caddie has chalked up a staggering sum in terms of on-course earnings, with Scheffler winning just shy of $84million (\u00a362m) in PGA Tour prize money since 2021.<\/p>\n

Under PGA Tour norms, caddies receive 10 per cent of the prize money, putting Scott’s share of Scheffler’s winnings at approximately \u00a36.2m over the last four years, excluding additional bonuses and any amounts won on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n

Last week at Royal Portrush, Scott will have picked up around $310,000 (\u00a3230,000) of Scheffler’s first-place prize packet of $3.1m (\u00a32.3m), taking his season earnings alone to around \u00a31.2m to \u00a31.5m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 153rd Open Championship was, in fact, Scott’s sixth six-figure payday of 2025 and his 13th in just 18 months, demonstrating how dominant Scheffler has been at the top of the sport.<\/p>\n

It is estimated Scott has earned a staggering \u00a36.2m since teaming up with Scheffler back in 2021 – and that is not including bonuses or any money won on the DP World Tour<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old golfer’s success at Portrush was the fourth major of his career, with Scott – who\u00a0previously caddied for the likes of Olin Browne, Grant Waite, Paul Azinger and Bubba Watson – having won two more.<\/p>\n

Yet another victory for Scheffler has cemented the notion that Scott is undoubtedly one of the most successful caddies in golf history, both in terms of titles and wealth.<\/p>\n

Scott’s role in Scheffler’s success over the last few years has been paramount, with the caddie not only offering important insight but also helping to keep the golfer’s emotions in check.<\/p>\n

In 2024, after a staggeringly lucrative year with the bag, Scott hit back at online trolls who suggested that his role as a caddie was an ‘easy job’.<\/p>\n

In response to a social media user who claimed that millions of people in the US could do his job, Scott replied: ‘Wrong. Not everyone would want to spend time with you because you\u2019re negative and tweet mean stuff. So that leaves 9,999,999 people that could do my “job”.’<\/p>\n
