Scottie Scheffler will be reunited with his caddie Ted Scott<\/a> at the PGA Tour’s season finale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The four-time major champion has been without his regular bagman over the last few weeks, but the pair will be back together at East Lake for the Tour Championship<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott stepped away from carrying the sticks ahead of the Wyndham Championship<\/a> owing to a ‘private family matter’ that was described as an ’emergency’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler had his close friend and PGA Tour<\/a> chaplain, Brad Payne, fill-in at the Wyndham and turned to Michael Cromie two weeks later at the BMW Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cromie loops for Chris Kirk, but was able to work for the World No.1 as the 40-year-old failed to advance to the second leg of the play-offs in Baltimore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheffler<\/a> won the BMW Championship by reeling in<\/a> Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre in an electric final round that included a dramatic chip-in at the 71st hole.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of Scheffler’s fifth individual win of the season – and 18th overall since his breakout 2022 season – the golfer praised Cromie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He’s not a guy that’s going to overreact to anything,” Scheffler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He did a really good job of just staying even keel all week and [was] kind of impervious to the pressure of a final round, and he did a really good job.”<\/p>\n

Scheffler wasn’t sure if Scott was going to be back in action this week, but a PGA Tour spokesperson confirmed the news to GolfMagic.<\/p>\n

“Ted Scott is in Atlanta and plans\u00a0on\u00a0caddying,” the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler shuts down reporter<\/p>\n

Scheffler was asked about Scott’s absence before the BMW Championship<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One reporter asked Scheffler the likelihood of Scott being able to return to work for the $40m finale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to answer anything like that,” Scheffler blasted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If that’s why you came out here, you’re not going to get much.<\/p>\n

“I think Ted’s where he needs to be right now, and I think caddieing is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well. I’m not going to comment any further on anything going on with his family.”<\/p>\n
