How much money did Scottie Scheffler’s caddie earn after winning the FedEx Cup title?

Ted Scott, the caddie for world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, has enjoyed an incredibly lucrative year as Scheffler continues to dominate the PGA Tour. The season concluded at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta with the 2024 TOUR Championship, where Scheffler, a Dallas native, claimed victory and took home an impressive $25 million in prize money. This pushed his total earnings for the season, including bonuses, to over $62.3 million.

Scott, who was convinced by Scheffler to come out of retirement in 2021, has been a vital part of Scheffler’s success, assisting him through numerous victories. His hard work has paid off handsomely, as he has been well-compensated with bonuses in addition to his base salary.

In 2024 alone, Scott is estimated to have earned $2.6 million from Scheffler’s winnings. However, with Scheffler’s recent FedEx Cup win, Scott received 10% of the winnings, netting him an additional $2.5 million from that event alone. This impressive figure would place Scott as the 19th highest earner on the PGA Tour this year, ranking just behind Akshay Bhatia and ahead of well-known players like Jordan Spieth and Mackenzie Hughes.

According to a Golf Monthly breakdown, Scott’s total earnings for the 2024 season have reportedly reached $5.2 million. It’s been a remarkable year for Scheffler as well, despite a mid-season controversy when he was arrested prior to the second round of the PGA Championship for allegedly assaulting a police officer with his courtesy vehicle.

Reflecting on the FedEx Cup, Scheffler referred to the season-long race as “silly” because it all came down to the final week at East Lake. Collin Morikawa finished second, earning $12.5 million, while Sahith Theegala secured third place with a closing round of 64, taking home a $7.5 million bonus.
