Scottie Scheffler’s caddy Ted Scott earned another $360,000 after the American won $3.6 million at the RBC Heritage on Monday.
The world number one claimed his fourth victory in five starts on Monday morning after play was suspended on Sunday in South Carolina due to bad weather.
Scheffler took home $3.6 million for finishing in first place, adding to the $3.5 million he got after winning the Masters last week.
And while Scheffler pays Scott the usual 10 percent of all winnings, their latest victory has handed the cadet another giant windfall.
That means Scott’s earnings for this season alone now stand at just over $1.8 million. As a reminder, Rory McIlroy earned $1.7 million this season.

This means that Ted Scott’s earnings for this season alone now stand at just over $1.8 million.
Scott has carried Scheffler’s bag since 2022 and has been at the center of the American’s explosive rise to becoming golf’s dominant force.
The 27-year-old also won the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship this season, two major tournaments to accompany his Masters triumph.
The caddy will also have earned considerable sums in previous seasons with Scheffler, who has dominated the PGA Tour prize list for the past two years.
He earned a record $14m (£11.2m) during the 2021-22 season – a figure he has already surpassed this year – before earning $21m (£16.8m) million) on the 2022-23 tour.
With Scheffler banking $50m (£40m) over the past few seasons, Scott is believed to have won around $5m (£4m) in prize money alone.

Scott is a 25-year PGA Tour veteran, having previously caddyed for former Masters champion Bubba Watson.
He would have first needed to be convinced before agreeing to become a caddy for Scheffler.
“Teddy and Scottie talked for a while before they went to work for him,” said his classmate and friend Paul Tesori, via Golf Digest.
“Scottie is young and used to getting a little angry on the golf course, and maybe even a little angry with his caddy.
“Ted being an almost 50-year veteran, having been here so long, he was able to say, ‘I want to come work for you, but you have to promise me you’re going to work in these areas.'” And not only did Scottie say yes, he absolutely did it.
