CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Caddie Ted Scott finally won something other than a Masters.
Don’t get him wrong – Scott wouldn’t mind a few more W’s at Augusta National – but all four of his major titles had come at the Masters, two with Bubba Watson in 2012 and 2014 and two with Scheffler in 2022 and 2024.
Now, he can count being the sidekick to the PGA Championship winner as one of his victories. He grabbed not only the flag at 18, the traditional caddie prize, but made off with the entire flagstick.
“I’ll take some more Masters flags but this was pretty sweet,” he said on Sunday after his boss, Scottie Scheffler, reminded the world that he’s No. 1 with his third career major. “I think it’s pretty sweet to get something different.”
Scott, who has been on the bag for all 15 of Scheffler’s Tour titles, joked that he was beginning to wonder if he was snakebit at the other three majors outside of the Masters.
“Can I help a guy get around a track somewhere else?” he said. “It’s pretty special. Scottie is the kind of player that he can win any kind of tournament at any time. I’m just blessed to work for him.”
