Here’s (Roughly) How Much Scottie Scheffler’s Caddie Has Made in 2024
Scottie Scheffler has won a lot of golf tournaments in 2024. As a result, his caddie, Ted Scott, has also made a lot of money this year. How much? The answer will likely shock you because it is well above the average for a player — yes, a player.
Ted Scott has been on the bag for Scheffler for quite a few years now, and he deserves some of the credit. Scott has a successful past as a caddie. For those who do not know, he was around well before Scottie had even broken into the PGA TOUR.

He was still in high school when he was carrying Bubba Watson’s bag when he won the 2012 and 2014 Masters Tournaments.
With that being said, Ted Scott has made a lot of money this year. On average, caddies tend to make roughly 7 to 10 percent of their golfer’s purse, and given that Scheffler has made a remarkable $27,696,858 on TOUR this year, Ted Scott is looking at between $1,938,780 and $2,769,685.
If Scott is paid the 10 percent, his figure is more than:
- Jordan Spieth
- Rickie Fowler
- Adam Scott
- Viktor Hovland
The TOUR average for this year is $1,555,579.
Scheffler has the highest earnings on the PGA TOUR this year — and it’s not really close. In second place is Xander Schauffele, who has won $12,636,360. In third is Rory McIlroy, with $10,034,665.
