Scottie Scheffler is gearing up for the second leg of FedEx playoffs i.e., the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Denver, Colorado. He is currently at the top of the FedExCup standings with 6,533 points.
Sheffler shared an Instagram post yesterday where he is seen playing tennis with his caddie, Ted Scott, celebrating the latter's birthday, which is on July 26, at Les Bordes Golf Club in France.
"We got to celebrate @jtedscott’s birthday while in France. It was full of pizza, tennis (attempts), and time with family. Shoutout to the incredible staff at @lesbordesestate. The golf course was a great prep for Paris!" Scottie Scheffler said.
The clips are from a week before the men's golf event at the 2024 Paris Olympics at Le Golf National. Scheffler won the Olympic gold medal by one shot over Tommy Fleetwood.
Scott has been caddying for Scottie Scheffler since late 2021. Since then, Scheffler has won two Masters titles and several tournaments on the PGA Tour. Further, the 2024 season has been almost unbelievable for Scheffler where he has had seven wins. Before him, Scott caddied for Bubba Watson for 15 years. They also won two Masters titles together.
