Ted Scott has made it to Atlanta this week to rejoin Scottie Scheffler in his quest for a second straight FedExCup.
The top-ranked golfer in the world will have his usual caddie on the bag with him at the Tour Championship this week. Scott left Scheffler ahead of the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship two weeks ago and was not with him when he won the BMW Championship last week while tending to a family emergency at home in Louisiana.
Michael Cromie, Chris Kirk's usual caddie, stepped in to replace Scott last week in Maryland. The duo then rolled to the win at Caves Valley Golf Club, which gave Scheffler his fifth win of the PGA Tour season. That win earned Cromie a $360,000 paycheck, too.
Scheffler has not gotten into specifics about Scott's absence, and he likely won't when he speaks to reporters on Wednesday.
"I think Ted's where he needs to be right now, and I think caddying is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be," Scheffler said before the BMW Championship. "I've been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well."
Scheffler has now won 12 times over the past two seasons on Tour, three of which were major championships. He's now just a U.S. Open win away from becoming the seventh golfer in history to complete the career grand slam. He's finished inside the top 10 in every start dating back to the Texas Children's Houston Open in March, too.
While Scheffler won't have a starting strokes advantage this week at East Lake — the Tour did away with its old format this season and will have every golfer in the 30-man field start at even par — he's easily the favorite to repeat as the FedExCup champion. That's something that's never been done in back-to-back years since the format was introduced in 2007.
Now with Scott back by his side, it seems only more likely that Scheffler will be in position to pull that feat off come Sunday afternoon.
