Scottie Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott deserves huge credit for helping guide the former to huge success this season.

Scott kept Scheffler on track at the Tour Championship, with the player going on to win the tournament and clinch the FedExCup title.

Scheffler now has seven wins for the season, more than half of his total PGA Tour career wins, along with an Olympic gold medal.

And it seems that he isn’t finished yet, with Scheffler wanting to win the Presidents Cup for the US Team later this month.

It has been a simply stunning year for the world number one, who finished the Tour Championship four shots ahead of second-placed Collin Morikawa.

Min Woo Lee reacts to Ted Scott’s earnings on the PGA Tour this season

Along with the titles, Scheffler has also earned a huge amount of money in recent months, but that is also the case for Scott.

Monday Q Info estimates that the caddie has made $6.2 million (£4.7million) this season, compared to PGA Tour career earnings of $5.7million for the legendary Jack Nicklaus.

Current star Min Woo Lee meanwhile reportedly boasts a figure of $5.6million, with the Australian now reacting to the latest figures on X, saying: “I’m nearly as good as Jack Nicklaus!”

How did Min Woo Lee do on the PGA Tour this season?

Min Woo Lee certainly enjoyed himself on the PGA Tour this season, although he is still chasing his first victory.

He did, however, finish as the joint runner-up at both the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

The Australian made 14 of 17 cuts, with two top-10 finishes going his way this season, which came to an end after he failed to make the BMW Championship.

A T22 finish at the St Jude Championship wasn’t enough to keep his FedExCup journey alive, with Min Woo Lee having also finished in that position at the Paris Olympics.

And that was also his position at the Masters, with the Australian then finishing T26 and T21 at the PGA Championship and US Open respectively, before missing the cut at The Open.
