Many reactions followed the moment when Scottie Scheffler's caddy, Ted Scott, withdrew from the FedEx St Jude Championship.
In addition, the famous caddy did not appear at the BMW Championship either, causing various questions. The public wondered what the problem was and why Scott had to leave the golf courses and join the family.
During each press conference for the next two tournaments, Scottie Scheffler was asked questions about Ted Scott, and the 29-year-old didn't want to reveal many details about his situation.
However, Ted Scott revealed the reasons for his decision in a video on social media last night. Namely, he confirmed that his nephew Joel was injured and is currently recovering.
Scott pointed out that this was one of the most difficult situations in his life that he had to go through, aware that he could not help his family who were grieving over a person who was injured.
However, it seems that things are significantly better now and that Scott is motivated and ready to help Scheffler achieve even greater success.
"Many of you know I left the St. Jude Classic early and didn't caddie on Sunday.
Why? Because we had a devastating family emergency, probably the hardest thing I've ever walked through in my entire life.
One of the things that God has taught me through all of this, one of the things that can help you, first of all, we're helpless.
I can't help the situation, watching my family grieve the person that was injured. I'm helpless, but I'm not hopeless."- he said.
Scottie Scheffler on his last performance
Scottie Scheffler, as well as his caddy Ted Scott, did not excel at the Tour Championship, although Scheffler's result is quite satisfactory for any golfer.
Nevertheless, the American golfer's ambitions have always been the highest, so for Scheffler, the most important thing is victory and nothing else.
At the end of the tournament, he pointed out that he was not particularly satisfied, stressing that he always strives to be better and progress.
