Scottie Scheffler dropped the first caddie bombshell ahead of the first leg of the PGA Tour playoff, St. Jude Championship: Tour chaplain and a close friend, Brad Payne, was going to be on his bag, instead of his usual caddie, Ted Scott. It was a “family matter” the report stated, yet the golf world hoped Scott would return for the second week of the playoffs. He didn’t. Instead of Scott, Mike Cromie will be on Scheffler’s bag for the BMW Championship.
But that is old news. And Scottie Scheffler wants you to get over it already. Ahead of the 2025 BMW Championship, the Texan sounded a little irked when asked, “Are you optimistic that Teddy will be back next week [for the TOUR Championship]?” He replied, “I’m not going to answer anything like that. If that’s why you came out here, you’re not going to get much.”
Scheffler’s making a point about how important Scott’s “family” situation may be – if it wasn’t a big deal, Scott wouldn’t bother taking it out of his bag. But since it is important, that’s why Scott’s been missing it for the past two weeks. So, Scheffler explains during the presser, “I think Ted’s where he needs to be right now, and I think caddieing is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be.”
Despite the repeated question, however, the Texan did make sure to let everyone know Scott and his family were doing well, adding, “I’ve been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well. I’m not going to comment any further on anything going on with his family.”
This is a developing story…
