Biography & Early Wealth Journey

Ted Scott, who caddies for Scottie Scheffler, is seeing this unfold firsthand. As Scottie has unfolded a truly magnificent year so far. In just 43 days alone, Scottie has earned $18.7 million in tournament prizes. As a result, Red Scott has earned roughly $1.9 million already this year. If Ted was a player, he would rank #41 on the list of the highest earners on the PGA Tour, just outside the top 40. And he's doing it as a caddie.

For further context, Ted Scott has earned more money than 183 PGA Tour golfers have earned so far this year. And that INCLUDES former world #1, Rory McIlroy. As of this writing, Rory has earned $1.6 million in 2024.

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

Obviously, Ted Scott owes his success entirely to Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler, the current world No. 1, has won four of the past five events he's started. He made $3.5 million for winning the Masters and then followed it up with first place at the RBC Heritage, collecting $3.6 million in winnings. Scheffler also won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship earlier this season.

Scheffler's dominant performance has led to $18,693,236 in earnings. He's made more than double what second-place Wyndham Clark has earned and nearly triple what third-place Sahith Theegala has made.

Scheffler also made $14 million during the 2021-22 season and $21 million in 2022-23, meaning Scott has earned north of $5 million over the past three seasons combined.

The caddie has no doubt contributed to Scheffler's success. Still, it must feel amazing to make millions while watching a legend hit golf balls!
