The 2024 eye-watering earnings of Scottie Scheffler 's caddie has incredibly trumped that of golf icon Tiger Woods.
The wins just kept coming for the 28-year-old, who added a further four PGA Tour tournament triumphs to his name alongside securing a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Scheffler's eight wins this season has equalled Woods' remarkable 2006 season and the former's £47million earnings this year will not only benefit the golf behemoth himself, but his caddie Ted Scott. The Olympic champion has worked with him since 2021, following Scott's 15-year partnership with two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson.
The £3.9m paycheck that would considerably boost Scott's bank balance would rank him 19th in golf’s earnings rankings for the year. It also surpasses what golf icon Woods has earned on the PGA Tour this year, with the 48-year-old operating on a part-time schedule due to numerous lower extremity injuries over the years.
