World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament with a score of 10-under, claiming his second consecutive title at Muirfield Village. Scheffler (and his son Bennett) wasn't the only one who went viral on Sunday, though; as his caddie, Ted Scott, also received his share of social media attention as well. Shortly after Scheffler's impressive performance at 'Jack's Place', a video began circulating on social media of Scott showing off his best dance moves in the Champions Locker Room at the Memorial Tournament venue.

MoreThe veteran caddie is accompanied by several people who appear to be other members of Scheffler's team. They all point to Scheffler's golf bag while celebrating to the beat of the music. The video was originally posted by Scott on his Instagram account, which has over 140,000 followers. It was his way of thanking the crew that helped Scheffler win: "Could not have done it again without this crew right here! Thank you men!," he posted. 🚨🕺🏆 #NEW — Scottie Scheffler's caddie Ted Scott busts a move in the locker room following his bosses win at The Memorial Tournament (🎥 via Ted Scott / IG) — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 2, 2025 Scott and Scheffler began working together at the start of the 2022 season. Since then, the current World No. 1 has won all 16 of his PGA Tour titles, including three major championships and one TOUR Championship. Add to that that Scheffler has also won an Olympic title and two editions of the Hero World Challenges with Scott carrying his bag. Scott is one of the most successful caddies on the PGA Tour. Prior to working with Scheffler, he caddied for Bubba Watson, being by his side in his two Masters Tournament victories. Scheffler's win at this weekend's Memorial Tournament marked the third time he has successfully defended a title. He previously did so at the Players Championship (2023 and 2024) and the WM Phoenix Open (2022 and 2023). According to DraftKings, only two other players have accomplished this feat more times in the past 30 years: Phil Mickelson (five times) and Tiger Woods (23 times). Not for nothing, Scheffler earned the highest praise from Jack Nicklaus himself. The legendary 18-time major champion spoke wonders about Scottie's level of play: "He reminds me so much of the way I like to play," said Nicklaus during the winner's press conference. "I don't think I played nearly as well as he played. He's playing better than I played and more consistent. He's just been playing fantastic, and I love watching him play." Scheffler's next start will be the U.S. Open in two weeks at Oakmont, where he is once again among the top favorites to win.

Scottie Scheffler's caddie Ted Scott's incredible earnings revealed after world No 1's third win in a MONTH
The incredible month of golf that Scottie Scheffler has had is leading to a big pay day - not only for the World No. 1 player, but his caddie as well. Scheffler has really gotten into the swing of things in May - winning the Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, and the Memorial Tournament which just wrapped up on Sunday. Add to that a T4 finish last week in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial and Scheffler has raked in $9.629million in tournaments this month. That means not only a huge pay day for Scheffler, but also for his caddie - Ted Scott. Assuming that Scheffler pays Scott the industry standard ten percent of his winnings, that means the caddie has made himself $963,000 in the month of May. It's a huge haul that not only puts Scott ahead of plenty of golfers for the month, it would put him in the top 90 highest earners for the PGA Tour season. Scott earned more money in May than five of the top-10 golfers on the PGA Tour's money list. That includes Rory McIlroy (who played in two events), Russell Henley, Colin Morikawa, Andrew Novak, and Ludvig Aberg. Outside of the top-10, other notable names Scott out-earned include Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Rose. But it goes even further. Just on the May earnings alone, if Scott was a golfer, he'd be 90th on the money list. That would put him just behind the likes of Will Zalatoris and Tom Kim, but ahead of golfers like Sam Ryder, Joel Dahmen, Max Homa, and Sahith Theegala. Those May earnings from Scheffler make up the bulk of the $13.9million he's earned in tour events this year - netting Scott roughly $1.397m. Scott's $1.397m would move him up to 71st on the PGA Tour money list - sandwiching him between Wyndham Clark ($1.436m) and Matt Fitzpatrick ($1.387m). Interestingly, Scheffler earned more money by winning the Memorial than he did winning his third career major at the PGA Championship over two weeks ago. The chances for him to earn more money lie ahead in June with a series of key events. Scheffler is not in the field this coming weekend for the RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley. However, he will be using that time off to prepare for the upcoming US Open at Oakmont Country Club in western Pennsylvania. Following that is the final 'signature event' on the PGA Tour calendar - the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut, which carries a purse of $20million. Scheffler won this event the year prior, outlasting Tom Kim in a playoff. Rounding out the month is the Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club in Michigan.

After being the winning caddie at four Masters, Ted Scott earns a PGA Championship flag
After being the winning caddie at four Masters, Ted Scott earns a PGA Championship flag After helping Bubba Watson and Scottie Scheffler each win two green jackets, Ted Scott caddies to a win away from Augusta National. 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.'

PGA Championship: Scottie Scheffler is now chasing history
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There's something anticlimactic about rolling a tap-in to win a tournament, especially when you've just missed a makeable putt that would have brought the grandstands down. The gallery at Quail Hollow — perfectly congratulatory when Scottie Scheffler tapped in to win the PGA Championship — was still antsy for a reason to explode. So Scheffler gave it to them in an unexpected way. 'F*** yeah!' he bellowed, spiking his white Nike hat onto the pristine 18th green and slapping palms with caddie Ted Scott. 'That's what I'm talking about!' And that tore the roofs off the surrounding luxury boxes. Scottie Scheffler is FIRED UP after winning the PGA Championship. — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) May 18, 2025 This is something new from Scheffler, who spent most of his first two years as a Tour champion going about his business with all the verve and flair of ChatGPT. There were moments — his tears after a Ryder Cup loss, his rage earlier this week at the local rules which, as it turned out, didn't hurt him at all — but for the most part, Scheffler showed up, won, gave a little fist pump or two, took the trophy and went on home. He clearly cares deeply about winning — you don't amass three majors and rise to the top of your profession without a competitive streak that verges on sociopathic — but he hasn't always shown that on the course. In a social media-driven world that thrives on exuberant displays of emotion, he was no Bryson DeChambeau, bellowing to the heavens, or Rory McIlroy, collapsing to the turf. But he approaches winning in a methodical sort of way. 'Winning is a lot of fun, and I think winning as often as I can is a lot of fun. Each week you're playing in a tournament, and you want to try to give yourself a chance to win," Scheffler said. "When I stepped on the tee on Thursday, I'm not thinking about what's going to happen on Sunday. I'm preparing for a 72-hole event. That's what I tell myself on the 1st tee: It's 72 holes. That's a lot of time. That's a lot of holes. That's a lot of shots.' So why the 72nd-hole spike? Maybe it was the rollercoaster of starting with a three-stroke lead, losing every bit of that lead at the turn, and then rebounding with three birdies over the back nine to seize control of the tournament before he even reached the Green Mile. Maybe it was the release of winning a major outside of Augusta, Georgia, and stomping out one of the few remaining 'Yeah, but…' narratives around his career. Hell, maybe it was revenge for the chaos that the Louisville police caused him a year ago at this time. 'Just a lot of happiness,' Scheffler said after the round when asked about the hat-spike. 'I think, you know, just maybe thankful as well. It was a long week. I felt like this was as hard as I battled for a tournament in my career. This was a pretty challenging week.' (He did laugh when he said 'I definitely have a few jokes that I want to say that I'm probably going to keep to myself' about Louisville.) Whatever the reason, Scheffler's release was a cathartic one, both for himself and for the sport. He's firmly established himself as the sport's alpha dog now. Consider: he's won 15 times on the PGA Tour in the last three-plus years, and only two players have taken less time to win their first 15 tournaments: Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. On a micro level, he's in elite territory as well. For instance, he's the only player besides Woods to win consecutive tournaments by at least five strokes. He's the only player other than Seve Ballesteros to win his first three majors by three strokes. What does all this mean? Scheffler is rapidly approaching the point where he won't be competing with the players on the leaderboard, he'll be competing against the players in record books. Yes, McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and — if you want to be technical about it — Woods and Phil Mickelson still have more majors than Scheffler among active players. But no one currently combines willpower, resilience, skill, touch and step-on-your-throat competitiveness quite like Scheffler. In an era of giants — virtually every major winner in the 2020s is a multiple-major winner — he's standing the tallest. And he's having fun doing it … which ought to scare the hell out of the rest of the field. 'I've prepared my entire life to become somewhat decent at this game, and to have a chance to win a tournament that I dreamed about as a kid is a pretty cool feeling,' he said. 'When you step out on the 1st tee, it's pretty dang cool. There's definitely stress. It's definitely challenging, but at the same time, I mean, it's a lot of fun.' And speaking of kids … Sunday evening, as he left the scorer's room after his round, Scheffler held his young son Bennett. When Scheffler went to pass off Bennett to his mother Meredith — so that Scheffler could go claim the Wanamaker Trophy — Bennett began crying and clutching at Scheffler's collar. Everybody else in the Scheffler entourage was all smiles … and might be for a long, long time.
