How wager with caddie Ted Scott molded Scottie Scheffler into a short game artist

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Having caddied for not one but two Masters champions and as a central member of Team Scottie, Teddy Scott was uniquely positioned to appreciate his boss’s performance at TPC Global Headquarters.

He wasn’t, however, savvy enough to even remotely predict Scottie Scheffler’s short-game brilliance this season.

Scheffler and Scott took a page from Jordan Spieth’s book and made a wager on how many chip-ins the 26-year-old would have this season. Scott set the over/under at 10.

“I'll be honest, I think that Teddy made a very bad bet,” Spieth said Sunday at The Players Championship.
