Scottie Scheffler recalled a heartfelt gesture to his caddie, Ted Scott, at last year's Masters Tournament. The 2025 Masters Tournament is just two weeks away, and before the first major of the event, the Masters’ YouTube channel shared a video, where Scheffler described how he accompanied his caddie while walking off the green.

The video was uploaded a day ago, and Scheffler's words were:

“In ‘24, I was walking off the green, and I was like, well, I don’t want to, you know, make this walk by myself. So I kind of waited for Teddy to come up and make the walk with me, just, you know, because it was important. I felt like it was important for Teddy to have his moment with me as well. He puts in so much work at the beginning of the week.” ( Time Stamp: 25:37)

He continued, “I mean, he knows every inch of the golf course, and he’s a huge part of me being able to win the tournament—I mean, he really is. You know, we talk through basically every shot together. I remember in ‘22, he was reading almost every putt for me, and he really kind of holds my hand as we go around the golf course. I listen to a lot of what he says, and he’s a huge part of what we do. So in ‘24, it was really important for me to try to make the walk with him.”
