Ted Scott  – Who is He?

Ted Scott made a name for himself in the golfing world. Not only is he a professional golfer, but also a caddie for other players. It’s the latter role which has probably earned him the most fame—and money.

Ted Scott Bio

Currently, Ted Scott is in his 40s. He is married to Melanie, and together the couple has two kids.

As a golfer himself, he has a plus handicap. His golf interests may have started thanks to his grandfather. According to Wikibiography, it was a grandfather who taught him to play when Ted’s family visited Texas during holidays.

In terms of his lifestyle, those around him know how much community, his family and church life are priorities for him. As a Christian, his faith plays an important role in this life.

Ted Scott Caddie – What’s He Up to Now?

You may have heard Ted Scott mentioned when golfing fans talk about Bubba Watson but these days Ted and Scottie Scheffler partner up on the golf course. Golf Magic reports Ted became Scottie’s caddie in 2021 and so far the two have been a force to be reckoned with.

What’s His Net Worth?

Some experts put Ted’s net worth at around $1 million as reported by Latest in Bollywood while others say it can be as much as $4 million.

In part, his impressive net worth is thanks to earning around $900,000 as his salary, which was confirmed by ontrend.news.

Of course, not all caddies can brag about this type of income, but Ted worked hard at his reputation and has been paired with many well-known players.

Over the years this brought him to the point where in 2017 he was listed as the third highest paid caddie on the globe. This was during his time working with Bubba Watson.

His income does depend on his salary but also some other sources of income. For one thing, he can earn a percentage of a player’s winnings.

For example, sources report he earned 10% of Bubba’s winnings from Masters triumphs. On a winning amount of $1.62 million, that’s a welcome bonus on his regular salary.

Ted Scott Earnings 2022 To Date

Now, when you consider that his current golfing partner, Scheffler, has already earned over $9 million, you can only imagine how much cash went Ted Scott’s way the past few months.

Experts calculate this at 10% of the player’s income, which would add up to around $900,000.

Interestingly, Golf Magic compared this year’s earnings to that in the LPGA and Ted has actually earned more than the ladies at the top of that list.

Who Has He Caddied For?

As stated, Ted Scott partnered with Bubba Watson in the past. This was a partnership of 15 years and on the PGA Tour they saw 12 wins together. Watson could even brag about being Masters champion, not once, but twice.

Currently he is caddy for Scottie Scheffler. They reportedly met at a Bible study and eventually Ted left Bubba to caddy for Scottie. Bubba and Ted brought their partnership to a close around October 2021. Luckily it doesn’t seem that they parted on bad terms, since Bubba Watson still plays practice rounds with Ted and stated that the split was a mutual agreement.

Ted must be happy about the change when you consider his net worth. Thanks to Scottie’s good run over the past few months, Ted has probably made more money compared to what he would have if he was still working with Bubba full time.

Before working with Bubba Watson and Scottie Scheffler, Ted caddief for other golfers like Paul Azinger and Grant Waite, as reported by walikali.com. Fred Funk and Olin Browne also benefited from having him as their caddie at some stage.

Ted Scott Career Highlights

Ted Scott doesn’t have an ordinary story when compared to most caddies. He actually turned pro in 1999 to teach golf. Then in 2000, he got an opportunity to caddie for the PGA Tour full time. Now he can look back at over two decades of working with the best golfers in the world.

Apart from caddying, Ted teaches others and reportedly he is a very good teacher. He teaches golfers from different groupings, ranging from juniors to seniors to college golfers. He does this as part of his offerings as ‘Tour Caddie Coach’.

Read through his list of achievements and the winning teams he has been part of, and it’s clear what a successful career he has to look back on. The accomplishments include:

• 4 times he has been part of Ryder Cup teams
• He took part in 2 President Cup teams
• Ted caddied for 12 wins during tours
• Wins include 2 Masters victories, of which both were with Bubba Watson

His Run with Scottie Scheffler—How Has it Been?

Glancing at golf news headlines one can assume the change to take on Ted as his caddie has been a good one for Scheffler. In April 2022, Scheffler won his first ever major championship.

This was at Augusta National where he won the 2022 Masters. In March 2022 he also achieved ranking as the world’s number one golfer.

Since a player’s caddie plays such an important role in golf, Scottie at least owes Ted some thanks for these achievements.
