Scottie Scheffler’s Caddie Ted Scott To Get a Gold Ring? Olympics Tradition Xander Schauffele Started Could Inspire World No.1

A caddie is always a golfer’s silent partner. Despite being the strongest support pillar, they do not even get recognized with the winner’s credit, and forget about getting medals. Golf itself was introduced to the Olympic schedule back in 2016, and even though there have been a lot of discussions, they are still not rewarded with medals. But Scottie Scheffler’s caddie has something to rejoice in. Things might have changed after Xander Schauffele’s win back in the 2020 Olympics.

After he won the gold, Schauffele gifted his caddie, a custom-made gold ring engraved with the word “Tokyo”. It was placed on the outer right side the flag of the U.S.A. above the Olympic rings in the center, and the words United States at the top and Olympic Team at the bottom.

Flaunting it on his Instagram account, Xander Schauffele’s long-term sidekick wrote, “They knew it meant a lot to me, too. I didn’t get my medal and they wanted to do something special for me.”

Well, the 2020 Olympics winner was appreciated both on the course and online for thinking about his caddie. Now that Scottie Scheffler has won the 2024 Olympics, defeating Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke, is obliged to follow the same tradition to thank his caddie, Ted Scott, for supporting him throughout the game! Now, whether it will be as fancy as the one Schauffele gave his caddie or not, is yet to be seen.

Now that Ted Scott will receive a golden ring from Scottie Scheffler, what is the World No. 1 entitled to take home after lifting the prestigious trophy and grabbing a victory for his country in Paris this year?

What will Scottie Scheffler take home after Xander Schauffele-like gesture?

Entering the greens on Sunday, with a 9-under 62 to win the gold medal at the Le Golf National for his country, Scottie Scheffler gave a truly thrilling performance at the 2024 Olympics. The 6X PGA Tour winner has turned an already stunning year into an even better one!

Apart from getting exceptional glory in the realm of the sport, and of course, his name etched in history, he will also forever have the opportunity to call himself an Olympian!

Although there are no official prize money payouts given to the golfers except for the gold, silver, and bronze medals, the national Olympic federations offer financial paydays to their country’s athletes when they bring home the medal.

This also includes the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Do you think he did the right thing by doing this?
