Scottie Scheffler capped off another impressive week with his fourth win of the 2025 PGA Tour season at The Open. With the victory, Scheffler took home a healthy $3.1 million paycheck for his fourth major win, bringing his season total to $19.2 million, according to the official PGA Tour money list.
The current No. 1-ranked player in the world, Scheffler has now won four majors over the last 1,197 days, which marks the exact timeframe between Tiger Woods’ first and fourth major wins.
Following a slow start to the 2025 campaign, Scheffler has posted 11 consecutive top-10 finishes on the Tour. But he’s not the only one reaping the rewards of his recent success. Caddie Ben Scott has now earned a healthy $1.92 million, 11% more than the average golfer on the PGA Tour ($1.73 million), according to Golf Digest.
While the exact terms of his contract with Scheffler have not been made public, Scott has been one of the top earning caddies on the Tour over the past few years, thanks in large part to Scheffler’s success.
Last year, Scott may have earned over $5 million.
How Much Money Has Ted Scott Earned In 2025?
PGA Tour caddies typically earn a salary of anywhere between $1,500 to $3,000 per week, along with a bonus paid as a percentage of the golfer’s overall winnings. Their salary often increases for major tournaments and signature events too.
The standard bonus check for caddies on the PGA Tour is thought to be 5% for a finish outside the top-10, 7% for a top-10 finish, and 10% for a victory. Caddies can also earn bonuses from the FedEx Cup bonus pool, PGA Tour Player Impact Program, and endorsement kickbacks or sponsor-related bonuses from wins.
Assuming that Scott earns at least the PGA Tour standard, his salary and bonuses this season have already amounted to more than the average PGA Tour player.
Scott’s salary likely comes in closer to the top-end of estimates at $3,000, meaning he’s already earned $48,000 over the course of 16 events this season. Add in his cut of Scheffler’s winnings and he’s already earned more than $1.74 million.
