Scheffler turns to fill-in when caddie Ted Scott leaves for family emergency
August 10, 2025
Scottie Scheffler will have a fill-in caddie for the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. His regular looper Ted Scott has a family emergency in Louisiana and had to leave for home Saturday night. Scheffler has turned to a familiar face in Brad Payne. Payne is a tour chaplain to several players as president of the College Golf Fellowship. He also was on Scheffler’s bag in the third round of the 2024 PGA Championship so Scott could attend his daughter’s high school graduation. The PGA Tour did not say what private matter led Scott to leave for home.
