Scottie Scheffler will be without his trusted caddie, Ted Scott, again at the 2025 BMW Championship. Scott, who has been on Scheffler’s bag for some of the biggest wins of his career, is still away due to a family matter. Tour chaplain and Scheffler’s personal friend, Brad Payne, stood in for Scott at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where Scheffler finished T-3. Scott’s Continuous Absence Down To Family Matter Scott has been a constant presence during Scheffler’s rise to the top of golf. The 52-year-old has been on the bag for all of Scheffler’s 17 PGA Tour victories and three major championships. He was also on the bag when Scheffler won gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Despite his near-constant presence as Scheffler’s caddie, he has had to miss a few events. He stepped away for a round at the 2024 PGA Championship to attend his daughter’s high school graduation. Then, at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, he left after the third round because of a family emergency. Scheffler worked with Brad Payne as a temporary caddie at the PGA Championship. Payne was also on the bag during last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship. Mike Commie To Be Scheffler’s Caddie For BMW Championship Scheffler will be turning to a new face for the BMW Championship, with Mike Cromie, who has previously caddied for Chris Kirk, stepping in for Scott. Cromie is well respected in golf circles and brings plenty of experience, but it will be his first time carrying Scheffler’s bag in a tournament setting. Aside from his time serving as Kirk’s caddie, Cromie previously played college golf at the University of Georgia.
