Ted Scott details Scottie Scheffler’s reaction to a potential LIV Golf offer
Summary

Caddie Ted Scott revealed that Scottie Scheffler expressed no interest in joining LIV Golf even if offered $250 million or more. During a recent appearance on The Gravy & The Sleeze Podcast, Scott recounted a conversation held when Scheffler held the world number one ranking. Scheffler reportedly told his caddie that he prefers competing where the best players are and remains focused on his goal of beating opponents rather than financial gain. Since LIV Golf launched in 2022, several prominent players have departed the PGA Tour, while Scheffler has remained and earned 22 victories. Scott suggested that Scheffler’s ability to remain undistracted by money serves as a competitive advantage. The world number one recently finished his 2026 season with a win at the Tour Championship, collecting a $10 million prize in addition to his total season earnings.
