Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, Ted Scott has been with Scottie Scheffler since late 2021. He is also enjoying a terrific 2025 season because of Scheffler's win total. This triumph was especially significant because it ties the 28-year-old with Tiger Woods as the only players to have won the Memorial Tournament in consecutive years.

Ted Scott recently uploaded a video of himself dancing in the locker room with several of his friends. During the dance, he even pointed to Scottie Scheffler's bag, which was exactly in the center. NUCLR Golf, an X (formerly Twitter) page, posted this with the caption,
