World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler secured his fifth victory of the year at the Memorial Tournament, triumphing at the Muirfield Village event for the first time and claiming a substantial first prize of $4 million. This victory elevated Scheffler’s PGA Tour earnings to over $24 million for 2024, underscoring his remarkable consistency and dominance throughout the season. In a tightly contested final round, Scheffler managed to edge out Collin Morikawa by just one shot.
Scheffler’s continued success has not only fortified his lead on the tour but also significantly boosted his financial gains. His latest win also meant a considerable payday for his caddie, Ted Scott, who typically receives 10% of the prize money, resulting in an estimated $400,000 from the Memorial Tournament alone. This victory further augments an impressive year of earnings for Scott, courtesy of Scheffler’s extraordinary performance.
Earlier in the year, Scott was already anticipating a promising season. Scheffler’s win at the PGA Tour’s premier event, The Players Championship, earned him $4.5 million, just a week after claiming $4 million from winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. Scott received $400,000 for his role in Scheffler’s triumph at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, marking the beginning of a lucrative streak.
Since then, Scheffler has continued to excel, securing victories at prestigious events such as The Masters and the RBC Heritage, along with the recent Memorial Tournament win. He has also achieved top-10 finishes at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, PGA Championship, and Charles Schwab Challenge, establishing himself as the standout player on the PGA Tour.
As a result of these remarkable achievements, Ted Scott has accumulated approximately $2.275 million in earnings for the year, benefiting significantly from Scheffler’s stellar form.
