The World No.1 golfer usually competes with Ted Scott on his side. Ahead of the BMW Championship, he switched his caddie to Michael Cromie, as Scott had to deal with a family matter.

Following Scottie Scheffler's triumph, Cromie bagged a handsome paycheck worth around $360,000. CBS Golf shared the news via a post on Instagram, along with the moment of celebration following Scheffler's 2025 BMW Championship victory.

Scottie Scheffler did not have any trouble with making the switch as Cromie was effectively supporting the golfer throughout. Cromie has previously caddied for Chris Kirk, and helped the golfer win the 2023 Honda Classic and the 2024 Sentry.

Scheffler's 2025 BMW Championship victory was also iconic, considering the way he clinched the title. He was four shots behind Robert MacIntyre. However, Scheffler made considerable progress as the latter faced trouble while playing on the first, second, and fifth holes of the final round.

Scheffler scored a birdie on the par 4 hole 1, secured a par on par 4 hole 2, and scored a birdie on the fifth hole. Before playing the back nine, Scheffler scored another birdie on par 4 hole 7.

Over the final 9 holes, the Texas native secured three birdies (holes 11, 15, and 17). He ultimately finished the final round of the 2025 BMW Championship with a 3-under par 67 over the last 18 holes of competition.

In his statement about Cromie, Scheffler said (quoted by ASAP Sports):

"Cromie was doing a great job. He’s a guy I can trust. He’s one of Ted’s good buddies. I’d just say it’s pretty much as simple as that."
"Cromie is a guy that works hard. He does his prep work, and he was an easy guy for me to trust out there."

While talking about their level of communication, Scheffler assured the media once again that Cromie was great at his job. He said:

"...we did a good job of talking through our shots and staying patient and keep doing the right things even when things were looking a little bit squirrelly there on the back nine."

Cromie himself was a collegiate golfer during his days at the University of Georgia. In 2014, he became an All-SEC and All-American selection. He also ended up winning the North and South Amateur at Pinehurst.
