addie has earned an insane amount of money this year.
Ted Scott, who has caddied for Scheffler since the start of the 2022 season, has been raking it in thanks to the World No. 1’s dominant performances this year. The 28-year-old PGA Tour star has won six tournaments in 2024, including ack in April.
From those wins, Scheffler has earned a mind-boggling $23.3million (£18.4m), while performances in other events have pulled in $4.3m (£3.4m). Overall, he’s amassed roughly $15m (£11.8m) more than who is in second place on the earnings list this year.
All of this is fantastic news for Scott, who’s entitled to a percentage of Scheffler’s winnings. The precise nature of the contract between Scheffler and Scott isn’t known, but it’s typical for a caddie to earn 10% of a player’s prize money when he wins, 7% for a top-10 finish and 5% for making the cut.

Scott used to caddie for Bubba Watson and helped guide the American to two surprise Masters victories in 2012 and again in 2014. Eight years later he guided another unfancied American to a green jacket, helping Scheffler claim his first major triumph with a win at Augusta in 2022, before repeating the feat in 2024.
