Scottie Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott chose violence when a keyboard warrior on X suggested millions of people could loop for the PGA Tour star.
Ted Scott, Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, responded aggressively to a comment suggesting anyone could do his job. “Scott found great success when he partnered with the two-time Masters champion in November 2021.” Scheffler has quickly become one of the top players in men’s golf, with some saying he is the best since Tiger Woods.
In 2024, Scheffler won seven PGA Tour titles, his second green jacket, and an Olympic gold medal. “He confirmed his title as the top player globally by winning the Tour Championship and earning $25 million.”
Scheffler has consistently praised Scott during their time together.
In his winner’s news conference in Atlanta last Sunday, the World No.1 explained that Scott always knows what to say at exactly the right time.
He refused to divulge their secrets but it’s clear Scheffler thinks his success wouldn’t be possible without him.
But not everyone believes that Scott’s job is burdensome.
PGA Tour caddie Kip Henley ignited a debate on X on Wednesday when he posted:
Henley has been a professional caddie for 16 years.
He spent the majority of his career carrying the sticks for Brian Gay and he has also looped for Eric Axley, Jason Bohn, Boo Weekley, J.B. Holmes, Stewart Cink and Vijay Singh.
He was also Grayson Murray’s caddie before he was fired in November 2023.
Murray took his own life on 25 May.
In response to Henley’s original post, one user claimed being a caddie is overrated.
“There are literally 10m people in the U.S. that could do Ted’s job,” the user wrote.
Scott saw the post and couldn’t help himself.
“Wrong,” Scott wrote.
He added: “Not everyone would want to spend time with you because you’re negative and tweet mean stuff. So that leaves 9,999,999 people that could do my ‘job’.
Scott’s rebuttal drew praise.
Being a caddie is a job that is often overlooked.
It is important to have a good relationship and trust with the player you are working with. You and Scottie seem to value trust in your partnership.
It appears to me that you are doing an amazing job at work, I don’t think anyone else could achieve what you have accomplished this year. Congratulations, I hope you have a great time at the Presidents Cup and a fantastic season in 2025!
Awesome job, Ted! Your coworker is likely envious of your success this year, considering you earned ten times more than he will in his lifetime. Watching you and Scottie is always entertaining.
The upcoming LIV vs PGA showdown should be exciting.
Ted remains the man!”
“I am a Ted Scott fanboy. Have a great year.”
Ted should tweet more. He provides quality content.
Ted and Scottie are a great team in the business.”
