Predict How Much Money Scottie Scheffler’s Caddy, Ted Scott, Made This Season

Scottie Scheffler completed the most lucrative season in PGA Tour history, his $25 million win on Sunday at the Tour Championship, bringing his official annual earnings to $62,228,357.17.

You mustn’t forget those 17 cents.

And what about Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott? Assuming Scheffler and Scott follow the 10-7-5 structure, in which a caddie gets 10% of the winner’s check for wins, 7% for top-10s and 5% for everything else, Scott could have cashed as much as $5,238,499.57 this season, nearly half of which ($2.5 million) came at East Lake.

That number would also put Scott in 20th place in the BMW Championship, about $100,000 more than Brian Harman ($5,138,310).

Scott’s total also doesn’t include a percentage of Scheffler’s $8 million for finishing in first place in the Comcast Business Tour Top 10, though Scheffler could have given Scott a slice of that pie. The only other question is how much Brad Payne got for filling in for Scott (daughters graduating) for the third round of the PGA Championship, where Scheffler earned more than half a million dollars for a tie for eighth place.

Here’s the expected breakdown of what Scott has earned on the course this year:
