PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Ted Scott’s amazing life as a PGA Tour caddie should serve as a poster for the popular X meme: How it started, how it’s going.

Let’s begin with the How it’s going portion of Scott’s charmed life.

He’s been caddying for world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler since 2021, contributing to a remarkable run of form that has produced 16 wins — including two Masters, one PGA Championship, two Players Championships and an Olympic gold medal.

Based on those results and the customary player-caddie pay scale (winning caddie gets 10 percent of player earnings), Scott is believed to have earned some $10 million toting Scheffler’s bag.
