How Ted Scott became Scottie Scheffler’s caddie

After looking at how much Scheffler has earned this year, it’s not too surprising to see Scott collecting close to $2 million. The partnership between Scheffler and Scott seems to be working well, but it almost didn’t happen. In the third season of Netflix’s Full Swing, Scott explained how he became Scheffler’s caddie.

“I think Bubba [Watson] and I had spent so much time together, we really weren’t growing anymore,” Scott told Netflix, per Golf.com. “So I was like, ‘I kind of just want to move on and do something else.’ Basically, a friend of mine approached me and said, ‘You’re about to receive a phone call from a really good player. This guy is really good. Like really good.’ I had never really met Scottie other than that we played with him in the New Orleans tournament and I saw that he was kind of fiesty, you know? That was one of the questions that I asked him when he called me.

“I said, ‘I don’t know if I want to work for you because of your attitude.’ When I posed that question to him, he said, ‘That’s a fair question and I’m willing to work on it.’ All I need is a little bit of hope and I’m willing to get behind anybody. So I decided to take the job and here we are.”
