Reflecting on the momentous occasion, Scott expressed his disbelief and gratitude, stating, “I’m pinching myself. I don’t know how I get to do this.” He marveled at Scheffler’s exceptional talent, describing him as “a different kind of special,” and humbly acknowledged his privilege in working with such remarkable golfers throughout his career.
Scott’s journey to becoming one of the PGA Tour’s premier caddies is punctuated by his pivotal roles in shaping the successes of elite players. Prior to teaming up with Scheffler in 2022, Scott had notably guided Bubba Watson to Masters victories in 2012 and 2014. Despite their parting ways in 2022, Watson harbors no regrets, acknowledging Scott’s continued success. “He has made more money now without me,” Watson remarked, highlighting their mutual respect and amicable split.
Following this year’s historic win, Scheffler showered praise on Scott, crediting him for his steadfast guidance throughout the tournament. “Teddy did a great job of making sure that we kept the golf course in front of us,” Scheffler remarked, underscoring Scott’s invaluable role in their victory.
The enduring partnership between Scott and Scheffler exemplifies the profound impact a caddie can have on a golfer’s career, transcending the fairways of Augusta to etch their names into the annals of golfing greatness.
