Scottie Scheffler added a third major championship title to his bag at the 2025 PGA Championship. He won the tournament by five strokes over Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, and Davis Riley on Sunday, May 18, at Quail Hollow Club.
Just moments after Scheffler's longtime caddie, Ted Scott, gave an insight into what fuels the world's top-ranked golfer. Scott also compared him to influential golf figure Bobby Jones.
For the unversed, Bobby Jones was one of the best golf players in the 1920s, winning for U.S. Open and three Open Championships. He also achieved a Grand Slam with victories in the U.S. Open, British Open, U.S. Amateur, and British Amateur in a single calendar year. His wins become more significant as he remained an amateur throughout his competitive career and played for the love of the sport.

Comparing Scheffler to Jones, Ted Scott said (via Skratch Golf):
"He lives to compete. He just wants to win. Every week. He’s not in it for any other reason. He doesn’t care about fame, he doesn’t care about money. Yes, he gets paid, but what inspires him is so pure. It’s almost like he's an amateur, playing for the love of the game and the love of the competition. It’s like he's Bobby Jones."
Scott has been caddying for Scottie Scheffler since November 2021 and has won a third major title with him. He earlier caddied for Bubba Watson for 15 years, and they together won 12 PGA Tour titles, including two Masters titles.
Scheffler had a strong start at Quail Hollow, where he posted 69 and 68 in the first two rounds. He followed it up with a remarkable 6-under 65 in the third round with seven birdies, an eagle against three bogeys. He finished the tournament with an even par 71 in the final round, winning by a huge margin of five strokes. Talking about the margin, Scott said (via PGA Tour):
"Time and time again when people get close, he seems to be able to step on the gas. He just has that ability to be like, 'Oh, no, you're not coming after me, bud.'"
