World’s top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler remains in contention to win the prestigious Masters tournament. His caddy is particularly hopeful for a victory as Scheffler’s recent impressive round of 65 has positioned him just four strokes behind joint leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. A win at the Masters not only secures Scheffler his third major title but also a substantial £3.35 million prize.
The potential victory would not only elevate Scheffler’s standing in the golf world but also financially benefit his longtime caddy, Ted Scott. Caddies typically receive a percentage of the prize money, often around 10% for a win and varying amounts for other placements, along with potential base salaries.
Scheffler, however, has admitted to not being fully aware of the financial arrangements, emphasizing his focus on playing golf rather than the monetary rewards. Despite starting with mixed performances, Scheffler’s stellar round at Augusta has put him back in contention, with his next round paired alongside Li Haotong.
Reflecting on his recent performance, Scheffler expressed satisfaction with his game and highlighted opportunities for improvement to secure a strong position in the upcoming rounds. Golf enthusiasts can catch The Masters action starting on April 6 through Sky’s Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle, offering access to a wide range of channels and streaming services.
