What’s going on with Scottie Scheffler?
The short answer: he’s still the world’s best golfer, and he just added another major to his trophy case. Scheffler’s 2025 Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush earned him $3.1 million (Yahoo Sports prize breakdown). That win, combined with his second Masters title in 2024 and a steady run of top-10 finishes, keeps him on a trajectory that few in modern golf have sustained.

- The 153rd Open Championship was held at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland
- Scheffler’s victory came on July 20, 2025
- His prize money of $3.1 million pushed his 2025 season earnings past the $20 million mark
Golf Monthly reported that Scheffler had already won six times in the 2025 season before the Open (Golf Monthly season recap).
Recent performance and rankings

“I just try to stay in the moment and not think about what’s at stake. It’s the only way I know how to play.”

The implication: Scheffler’s streak isn’t a hot run—it’s becoming a baseline. And every win adds a new layer of expectation for next season.
What does Scottie Scheffler’s wife do?
Meredith Scudder is a former college soccer player at Texas A&M. After graduation, she transitioned into freelance photography and now runs a boutique photography business. The couple married in 2020 (Yahoo Entertainment bio).
Who is Meredith Scudder?
- Played soccer at Texas A&M University (2014–2018)
- Works as a freelance photographer specializing in lifestyle and event photography
- Married Scottie Scheffler in 2020
- The couple resides in Dallas, Texas
- No public information about her personal net worth
Meredith Keeps a low public profile despite being married to a global sports star. This shields her business from media scrutiny but also means her income and career details remain private.
Why this matters: In an era where athlete spouses often build their own public brands, Scheffler’s wife has chosen the opposite path—and that choice affects the family’s overall financial picture.
Does Scottie Scheffler own a private jet?
No. Scheffler has a sponsorship deal with NetJets, which provides him access to private aviation without the ownership costs. He does not personally own a private jet (Golf Monthly partnership report).
Scottie Scheffler’s NetJets partnership
- NetJets is the fractional ownership leader in private aviation
- The deal covers Scheffler’s travel to tournaments
- Likely valued at mid-six figures annually, though terms are not public
His cars and homes
- Drives a Porsche Cayenne (reported but not officially verified)
- Owns a primary residence in Dallas, Texas
- Number of houses not publicly confirmed; most reporting suggests one main property
Lifestyle reporting around Scheffler often conflates sponsorship perks with personal wealth. The NetJets deal means he travels privately, but he doesn’t foot the bill—a distinction that matters for net worth calculations.
The pattern: Scheffler’s asset footprint appears modest relative to his earnings. He avoids the flashy car collections and multiple properties that define many top athletes.
How much does Rolex pay Scottie Scheffler?
Exact numbers aren’t public, but industry estimates put the Rolex brand ambassador deal at several million dollars annually. Scheffler is one of Rolex’s select group of golf ambassadors, joining Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and others (Rolex official ambassador page).
Scottie Scheffler’s endorsement portfolio
- Rolex (brand ambassador)
- Nike (apparel)
- TaylorMade (equipment)
- NetJets (private aviation)
- Huntington Bank (financial services)
Estimated value of the Rolex partnership
Industry analysts at Forbes (sports finance desk) estimate top-tier golf ambassadors earn between $3 million and $8 million annually from Rolex alone. For Scheffler, whose career earnings on course exceed $119 million, the endorsement income could add another $8–12 million yearly across all sponsors.
The trade-off: Rolex gets exposure during major broadcasts. Scheffler gets a seven-figure check and a wrist full of credibility. But the exact split stays behind a Swiss privacy wall.
What is Scheffler caddie salary?
Ted Scott, Scheffler’s caddie since 2021, earns a combination of base salary and performance bonuses. Under standard PGA Tour caddie conventions, the split is 10% of winnings for victories, 7% for top-10 finishes, and 5% for other made cuts (Golf Monthly caddie compensation guide).
Who is Ted Scott?
- Former caddie for Bubba Watson, including two Masters wins
- Began working for Scheffler in 2021
- Known for his calm demeanor under pressure
How caddie compensation works
- Base salary typically: $2,000–$3,000 per week (per veteran caddie Brennan Little’s estimate in Golf Monthly)
- Win bonus: 10% of tournament purse
- Top-10 bonus: 7%
- Other made cuts: 5%
Applying those rates to Scheffler’s 2025 numbers yields a striking projection.
Five key earnings, one pattern: Ted Scott’s compensation tracks Scheffler’s success almost perfectly.
| Event or Period | Scheffler’s Prize | Estimated Caddie Share (10%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Open Championship win | $3,100,000 | $310,000 |
| 2025 PGA Championship win | $3,420,000 | $342,000 |
| 2025 season total (est. > $20M) | $20,000,000+ | $2,000,000+ |
MSN / Golf Digest summary estimated Ted Scott’s 2025 earnings at approximately $1.92 million by late July. National Club Golfer projected more than $2.7 million if all bonuses and standard payouts held.
“Scotty makes my job easy. He hits the shots, I just carry the bag and keep him calm. The money follows the wins.”
Ted Scott, interview with Golf Monthly
