Scottie Scheffler’s financial agreement with caddie after banking a cool £20m this year

Published

on

Scottie Scheffler has enjoyed a remarkable 2025 season, winning six times on the PGA Tour including two majors, and his caddie Ted Scott has been handsomely rewarded

Caddying for the world’s top golfers can be a profitable profession, but no one is cashing in quite like Scottie Scheffler‘s right-hand man, Ted Scott. This is despite the fact Scheffler hasn’t quite managed to match his 2024 earnings this year, with his sights now firmly set on next week’s Ryder Cup.

Despite the pay decrease, 2025 has still been a standout year for the current world No. 1. The Texan has claimed victory in six tournaments so far this season, one less than his 2024 total, but has doubled his major count after securing both The Open and the PGA Championship.

All this success translates into a hefty cut for caddie Scott, who has been working alongside Scheffler as his bag man for nearly four years. Before teaming up with Scheffler in late 2021, Ted had a 15-year partnership with Bubba Watson.

It’s been a perfect pairing so far, with Scheffler’s greatest successes coming some time after he and Scott started collaborating on the course. This is evidenced by Scheffler’s PGA Tour earnings of a little more than £20million so far this year.

The standard rate for a caddie is 10% of any win purse, 7% for a top-10 finish and 5% for anything else. Scheffler may be even more generous, though he failed to reveal any specifics when discussing the matter last year.

Speaking on the Pardon My Take podcast, he said: “We have a girl that helps us pay bills basically because I’m a child and I can’t keep track of all that stuff!

“She quickly took over that job and texts me at the end of each week, saying, ‘Hey, this is how much we’re paying Ted.’ I’m like, ‘That’s great.'”

Scheffler enjoyed a particularly productive spell between early May and early June, claiming victory at both the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and Memorial Tournament alongside the PGA Championship. He subsequently secured his maiden Open title and the BMW Championship, then clinched the Procore Championship crown less than a fortnight before the Ryder Cup commences.

Those six victories alone represent more than £12m, accounting for more than half of Scheffler’s total prize money for the year to date. The 29-year-old is hurtling towards the summit of the PGA’s all-time earnings list, having already crossed the £73m mark throughout his career.

The bond between golfer and caddie can frequently prove demanding, with some professionals preferring to maintain strictly business relationships on the course. Nevertheless, Scheffler demonstrated his profound respect for Scott, both personally and professionally, when his bag carrier needed time away this summer to handle a family emergency.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
