🏌️ Scottie Scheffler Loses His Caddie AGAIN Before BMW Championship – Here’s Why It Matters
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will once again be without his trusted caddie Ted Scott as the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs head into the BMW Championship. After Scott left the FedEx St. Jude Championship to attend a private family matter, Scheffler turned to PGA Tour chaplain Brad Payne – the same stand-in who caddied for him during his shocking 2024 PGA Championship arrest week.
Now, as the stakes rise with the $20 million BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club, Scheffler is bringing in Mike Cromie, caddie for Chris Kirk, to fill the role. Kirk missed the BMW cut-off by just one place, making Cromie available for this high-pressure week. But can Scheffler adapt quickly enough without his regular partner by his side? And will Ted Scott be back in time for the Tour Championship at East Lake and its $18 million top prize?
In this video, we break down:
⛳ Why Ted Scott’s absence could affect Scheffler’s playoff chances
📜 The history between Scheffler and his fill-in caddies
💰 The massive stakes of the FedEx Cup Playoffs

World number one Scotty Sheffller will once again be without his longtime caddy Ted Scott as the PGA Tours FedEx Cup playoffs head into their second leg at the BMW Championship. Scott, a veteran caddy who’s been by Sheffller’s side for some of the biggest victories in his career, has been forced to step away due to an undisclosed private family matter back home in Louisiana. His absence first came to light during the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, where Sheffler brought in PGA Tour Chaplain and close friend Brad Payne to carry the bag. Payne had been in this role before, most notably at the 2024 PGA Championship, a week that became infamous when Sheffller was arrested in a bizarre incident outside Valhalla Golf Club. Despite the disruption last week, Sheffller showed his trademark resilience, putting together another elite performance at TPC Southwind. He finished tied for third, just one shot outside a dramatic playoff eventually won by Justin Rose. It was a reminder that while a caddy plays a vital role, Sheffller’s consistency and mental toughness remain among the best in the game. However, with the stakes getting higher, the absence of Ted Scott is becoming more noticeable. The BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland offers a $20 million purse and serves as the last stop before the season ending Tour Championship. Every shot matters and Sheffller will once again have a different voice in his ear. This week that voice will be Mike Crommy, the regular caddy for Chris Kirk. Kirk narrowly missed qualifying for the BMW Championship, finishing 51st in the FedEx Cup standings, just one place shy of the cutoff, which left Crommy available to step in for Sheffler. Cromy’s experience on tour will be an asset, but he and Sheffller will need to build instant chemistry if they’re to chase victory in such a high pressure setting. As of now, the PGA tour has confirmed that Ted Scott will continue to attend to his family matter and that no details about his return have been released. That leaves uncertainty over whether Sheffler will be reunited with his trusted bagman in time for the tour championship at East Lake, where the FedEx Cup and its $18 million top prize will be on the line. For now, Sheffller’s focus will be on adapting quickly, leaning on his ability to remain composed under pressure, and proving once again that even without his familiar partner, he can still be the man to beat on the PGA Tour.
