Scottie Scheffler’s caddie pay packet trumps Tiger Woods to leave golf fans stunned
Golf fans were left stunned after learning that Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, earned an incredible £3.2 million in 2024. This massive pay packet not only surpasses that of many professional golfers but also dwarfs Tiger Woods’ earnings of just £27,000 for the year, highlighting a stark contrast in fortunes.

Scott’s windfall, which included £1.6 million from Scheffler’s Tour Championship victory, has sparked debates among fans and pundits over the value of caddies in the sport and the fairness of their compensation. Some argue that caddies like Scott play a pivotal role in their golfer’s success, while others question whether such earnings are justified for their role.

This revelation comes at a time when Woods, once the dominant force in golf, is struggling with injury, having competed in only one tournament in 2024. His limited play, which included missing the cut at several major championships, paints a sobering picture of his current career. While Scott enjoys financial success, Woods’ meager earnings from his record-breaking 24th cut at the Masters highlight the challenges he’s facing in maintaining his legacy. The disparity between the two figures has sparked fierce debate, with some golf fans expressing shock at the vast difference in earnings.
