Scottie Scheffler looked amazing at the last PGA event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, but one moment in particular caught the eye. Namely, the 29-year-old golfer was left without his caddy, Ted Scott, having to focus on the tour chaplain.
The fans reacted promptly, asking questions about Scott and the reason for his departure. According to the PGA Tour, Scott had to go home to Louisiana due to a sudden private family situation. Although it is not known exactly what it is about, it is clear that it is a matter of urgency, and we will see if we will find out some of the details in the future.
Scott did not react via social media or reveal the reasons for the premature departure.
In the continuation of the tournament, Scheffler cooperated with Chaplain Brad Payne, who had previously helped Scottie in the same way. Payne has previously worked with Scheffler as a caddy; at the moment when Scott's daughter had her graduation ceremony.
Scottie Scheffler and Ted Scott: How did everything start?
The collaboration between Scott and Scheffler began in 2021, and four years later, it will turn out that the American golfer did the right thing by hiring a famous caddy. Their cooperation proved to be fruitful, with many trophies in the last four years.
Scottie never hid his admiration for his caddy, stressing that he is a great person and friend.
“I just think the world of him as a person, so that was why I was attracted to him — just being a potential good partner for me out on the course. I really wanted to work with a Christian, too. That’s how I try to live my life,” Scheffler said.
Ted Scott is equally delighted with Scheffler's dedication, qualities and mindset. Working with golfers like that is a big deal for a caddie, and Scottie is a golfer who has been the talk of the golf world for the past two years.
It seems like he can hardly be stopped.
