Scottie Scheffler using fill-in caddie for final round at FedEx St. Jude Championship
Scottie Scheffler will be without regular caddie Ted Scott by his side for the final round of the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
Scott had to return home for a private family matter, according to a social media post by the PGA Tour. It stated that Brad Payne will fill-in for Scott. This isn't the first time that Payne has been on the bag for Scheffler. He stepped in last year for the third round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla when Scott was given the day off to attend his daughter's high school graduation.
Scheffler tied the low round of the day on Saturday with a 65 at TPC Southwind. He enters the final round at 12-under 198, two shots behind leader Tommy Fleetwood and one back of Justin Rose. He's scheduled to tee off alongside 2025 U.S. Open Champion J.J. Spaun at 1:30 p.m. ET. Scheffler's finished inside the top 10 in 12 straight starts, and is seeking his fifth win of the season.

Scott has been on the bag for all 17 of Scheffler's Tour wins since they began working together in late 2021.
Payne is the president of College Golf Fellowship and has caddied for multiple players over the year. He played his college golf at Pepperdine.

Venus Williams gets a U.S. Open wild card at age 45 and will be the oldest in singles since 1981
NEW YORK — Venus Williams will make her return to Grand Slam tennis at the U.S. Open after a two-year absence, receiving a wild-card invitation to compete in singles at Flushing Meadows at age 45. The American will be the oldest entrant in singles at the tournament since Renee Richards was 47 in 1981, according to the International Tennis Federation. Williams already had been given a wild-card entry by the U.S. Tennis Association for the mixed doubles competition. Singles matches begin in New York on Aug. 24. She is the owner of seven major singles championships — including at the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001 — along with another 14 in women's doubles, all won with her younger sister, Serena, plus two in mixed doubles. Serena retired with 23 Slam singles trophies after playing at the 2022 U.S. Open. The older Williams last participated in a Grand Slam tournament at the 2023 U.S. Open, losing in the first round. She hasn't won a singles match there since 2019. When Williams came back to the tour last month at the DC Open for her first match anywhere in 16 months, a reporter asked whether that would be a one-time thing or if there were plans for other tournaments. 'I'm just here for now, and who knows?' she replied then. 'Maybe there's more. ... But at the moment, I'm focused just on this. I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis, but obviously coming back to play matches, it takes time to get in the swing of things. I definitely feel I'll play well. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand.' Last year, Williams had surgery to remove uterine fibroids and missed most of the season. In Washington this July, she competed for the first time since March 2024 at the Miami Open and became the oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match since Martina Navratilova was 47 at Wimbledon in 2004; Williams also won a doubles match at the DC Open. In the process, Williams drew a ton of attention for her tennis, yes, but also for letting the world know she's engaged to an Italian actor and for her half-joking comments about needing to get back on court to get covered by health insurance. 'I love Venus. We're friends. I didn't really know this was something she was still wanting to do. But I also didn't know it was something she didn't want to do,' said Mark Ein, the chairman of the hard-court tournament in Washington. 'I was surprised. And it was a wonderful surprise.' Williams also entered the Cincinnati Open via a wild card, exiting in the first round of singles. In New York, she will play in the Aug. 19-20 mixed doubles tournament with Reilly Opelka, a 27-year-old American who used to be ranked in the top 20. Other women getting singles wild cards for the U.S. Open are Americans Clervie Ngounoue, Julieta Pareja, Caty McNally, Valerie Glozman and Alyssa Ahn, plus France's Caroline Garcia — who'll be playing in her last Grand Slam tournament before retirement — and Australia's Talia Gibson. Men's wild cards went to Americans Brandon Holt, Nishesh Basavareddy, Tristan Boyer, Emilio Nava, Stefan Dostanic and Darwin Blanch, and France's Valentin Royer and Australia's Tristan Schoolkate.

The group in charge of tennis in the U.S. is starting its first coaching program
The U.S. Tennis Association announced the start of its first all-encompassing coaching program after an outside review of the USTA's safeguarding system offered recommendations for how to better protect players from abuse such as sexual misconduct. 'At the end of the day, we have to create safe environments for all our players,' Craig Morris, the CEO of the new USTA Coaching initiative, said in a video interview with The Associated Press from Florida. Morris said the USTA now can make sure that everyone who is certified is Safe Play approved, including completing a criminal background screening and being able to identify, respond to and prevent misconduct. The USTA estimates there are currently 25,000 to 30,000 coaches in the United States, and the country's official governing body for the sport would like to see the number rise to around 75,000 to 100,000. That would include everyone from parents teaching their children to the sorts of professional coaches who will be working with athletes at the U.S. Open, the USTA's showcase event that begins on Aug. 24. The effort is connected to the group's goal of having 35 million people playing the sport in the U.S. by 2035. 'The USTA's never been in the coaching business. We're probably the last major tennis federation in the world that doesn't do this. And it's our responsibility. … This is recruitment, marketing, benefits, services, education, certification. What's the future generation of coaching going to look like? We have to start getting high school kids and college kids looking at this as a career,' Morris said. 'This is fundamental for U.S. tennis. For the protection of this game, the USTA has to invest in protecting the delivery system of the sport,' he added. 'And for the very first time in our history, we're going to do that.' In June 2024, a 62-page report presented to the USTA Board of Directors included 19 specific recommendations for how to 'increase player safety.' The report was made public less than two months after a tennis player was awarded $9 million in damages by a jury in federal court in Florida following her accusation that the USTA failed to protect her from a coach she said sexually abused her at one of its training centers when she was a teenager. The USTA also was a defendant in four other lawsuits related to sexual abuse of tennis players over the last two decades.

Bryson DeChambeau Compares Scottie Scheffler to Tiger Woods in This Skill
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler's dominance in men's golf has sparked comparisons to Tiger Woods more than once. But after his commanding win at the Open Championship last month, those comparisons hit a new level. With his latest win at Royal Portrush, the world No. 1 grabbed his fourth major title in just 1,197 days. That exact number mirrors the time Woods took to win his first four majors between 1997 and 2000. It's a stat that stunned fans and analysts. While Scheffler himself has downplayed the parallels, calling them "a bit silly" and insisting Tiger "stands alone in the game of golf," others aren't holding back. The latest praise came from LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 16: Bryson DeChambeau (R) of LIV Golf and Scottie Scheffler of the PGA Tour talk before The Showdown: McIlroy and Scheffler v DeChambeau and Koepka at Shadow Creek Golf Course... LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 16: Bryson DeChambeau (R) of LIV Golf and Scottie Scheffler of the PGA Tour talk before The Showdown: McIlroy and Scheffler v DeChambeau and Koepka at Shadow Creek Golf Course on December 16, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images for The Showdown) More The Crushers GC captain appeared on the "Pat McAfee Show" this week and offered his candid take on what makes Scheffler so special. "He has got the best spin and distance control I've ever seen," DeChambeau told McAfee during the interview released on Tuesday. "Like he controls the golf ball from a spin perspective so much better than everybody else. His distance control is the best... probably since Tiger (Woods), he's the best that we've seen." The LIV Golf pro, known for his analytical approach and power game, didn't mince words. He explained how Scheffler's ability to land shots precisely, even in tough wind conditions, is unmatched. "If you're 175 yards out and it's 10 miles into the wind, he knows how to control the flight and spin to get that ball to land right next to the hole every time," he added as seen in the podcast posted on YouTube. The two champions' rivalry on the greens has played out across multiple majors, including this year's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, where Scheffler surged ahead with a late eagle and DeChambeau faltered on the 17th with a costly double bogey. Despite the setback, Bryson was seen congratulating Scheffler post-round, saying, "I'm proud of you, man. Good job". But their history goes back further. "I played with him in college a bunch," DeChambeau chuckled during the same interview. "He's definitely improved since college." Bryson on Scottie: "Scottie Scheffler has the best spin and distance control I've ever seen.. He controls the golf ball from a spin perspective so much better than everybody else.. Since Tiger Woods he's the best that we've seen" That's serious praise! — Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) August 12, 2025 Scheffler, who played for the University of Texas, and DeChambeau, a standout at SMU, crossed paths often during their NCAA days. Back then, Bryson admitted he "beat him quite a bit," but now sees Scheffler as "in a league of his own". "It's impressive to see what he's done," DeChambeau expressed further. "We're all inspired to do that." The Dellas native currently leads the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach, averaging 1.292 per round this year, well ahead of Viktor Hovland and Shane Lowry. His iron play has become his superpower, and it's the very skill DeChambeau admits he's still chasing. As the Ryder Cup looms at Bethpage Black this September, both players are locked in for Team USA. And while Scheffler may not be ready to embrace the Tiger comparisons, his peers and his stats are making the case louder than ever. More Golf: J.J.
