Scottie Scheffler, the World No. 1, has showcased a great comeback despite the injury struggle in 2025. With three victories this season already, the golfer on the verge of clinching the fifth faced unexpected trouble with his team. Scheffler, who is placed third in the ongoing St. Jude Championship, had to suddenly change his caddie.
Ted Scott has been his caddie since late 2021 and has been on the bag for all 17 PGA Tour wins. But now with the fourth win on the verge, he took the bold decision, prioritizing his family. As per the recent PGA Tour post, which shared the update, the reason cited by the caddied was “a private family matter.”
Well, being on a crucial stage at the event, Scheffler brought in Brad Payne as his fill-in caddie. Payne partnered with the golfer earlier during the PGA Championship and will be the one on the bag at the TPC Southwind.
Scottie Scheffler will use fill-in caddie Brad Payne Sunday after Ted Scott returns home for a private family matter.
