Overview

  • Ted Scott returned to caddie for Scottie Scheffler at East Lake after leaving the FedEx St. Jude before the final round and missing the BMW Championship for family reasons.
  • With replacement Michael Cromie on the bag, Scheffler won the BMW Championship, his first PGA Tour victory without Scott alongside him.
  • Scheffler called Scott’s presence “extremely important,” saying his career trajectory shifted when they teamed up in late 2021, and he declined to detail Scott’s private situation.
  • Scott previously worked long term with Bubba Watson, and since joining Scheffler the pair have collected multiple majors as Scheffler rose to world No. 1 with five wins this season.
  • Scheffler said a 2020 Masters round with Tiger Woods reshaped his approach, citing Woods’ shot-by-shot intensity as a model he now tries to emulate.
