The world No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, was born on June 21, 1996, in Ridgewood. His most recent victories came in June at the 2024 Travelers Championship and the 2024 Memorial Tournament. He won in a playoff match against Tom Kim at the former event, and he won over Collin Morikawa in the latter with just one stroke. A professional since 2018 has a total of 15 professional wins, with most of them being either signature events or majors.

Scheffler has held the world No. 1 spot for more than 94 weeks as of July 2024, which he first attained after his 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play win against Kevin Kisner. After securing his PGA Tour card in 2020, he defeated Patrick Cantlay in the playoffs at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open to mark his first victory on the tour. However, his first professional win was at the 2019 Evan Scholars Invitational, during his time on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Scottie Scheffler's Caddie

Scottie Scheffler's caddie is Ted Scott as of July 2024. Prior to September 2021, Scott had worked as Bubba Watson's caddie for 15 years, and after giving up Watson's bag, Scott, who also teaches golf online, planned to concentrate more on his teaching skills. He had been a caddie for more than two decades, and had worked for Paul Azinger and Grant Waite. Scott admits that he and Bubba Watson are still good friends, but they have different ideas about life and ambition.

Ted Scott asked his family about being Scheffler's caddie, as asked, and they gave him their blessing to do it. Since Scott started working with Scheffler in November 2021, they have achieved several notable victories together. Scheffler won his first PGA Tour event with Scott at the RSM Classic in November 2021, which was only the beginning of the coming major wins.

However, during the 2024 PGA Championship, Scottie had to find a temporary caddie, given that Ted had to leave amidst the event to attend his daughter's high school graduation in Louisinna. Ted left after the second round of the event and was temporarily replaced by Scheffler's old friend, Chaplain Brad Payne.

Payne was three times selected for the All-WCC team during his college golf days at Pepperdine University. It was made possible because there are no rules prohibiting players from switching caddies in the middle of a round. Ted, however, returned for the final round and Scheffler finished tied for eighth place at the PGA Championship.
