World’s number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, remains a strong contender for victory at the prestigious Masters tournament. His recent impressive round of 65 has brought him within four strokes of the current leaders, Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. Winning the tournament would secure Scheffler his third major title and a hefty prize of £3.35 million.
The potential victory not only positions Scheffler at the top of the golf rankings but also promises a significant financial reward for his loyal caddie, Ted Scott. Caddies typically receive a share of the prize money, often around 10% for a win and varying percentages for lower placings, complemented by additional base salaries.
Despite the financial implications, Scheffler has expressed a laid-back attitude towards the money aspect, emphasizing his focus on playing golf. He credits his team, including his caddie and financial manager, for handling the monetary details while he concentrates on his game.
With the final round approaching, Scheffler’s outstanding performance in the previous round has placed him back in contention. His precise iron play and strategic decisions have earned him a spot among the top contenders. As he prepares for the upcoming round alongside Li Haotong, Scheffler remains optimistic about his chances and aims to capitalize on his opportunities on the course.
