Masters 2024: Scheffler’s Caddie Ted Scott Repeats Masters Double

If Scottie Scheffler’s sporting career continues like this, Ted Scott will become a kind of second Steve Williams. The New Zealander was in the pocket of the GOAT in Tiger Woods’ heyday and became the wealthiest sportsman in his home country thanks to the ten per cent share of the boss’s prize money.

This year, Ted Scott has already shared in Scheffler’s successes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship as well as the other top placings, and his Masters triumph adds another 360,000 dollars in prize money commission. This year, the man in his early fifties has certainly earned more money from the world number one’s pocket than, for example, Rory McIlroy on the fairways.

In total, the former mini tour pro is likely to have raked in just under six million dollars since Scheffler persuaded him to give up early retirement in 2021, which Scott decided to do after splitting with Bubba Watson. Interestingly, he won the Masters Tournament with the left-hander in 2012 and 2014, and exactly ten years later he repeated the feat with Scottie Scheffler. And because he secured the flag of 18 again yesterday, including the flagstick as a trophy, Ted Scott can celebrate the victory again like he did two years ago:
