Ted Scott returns to Memphis with new mustache after family emergency
Summary

Ted Scott was spotted at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, sporting a new mustache during the event on August 12, 2026. Scott, the caddie for world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, had left last year's tournament to assist his family following a critical incident involving his nephew. After Joel was shot during a basketball game in August 2025, Scott was quick to return to Louisiana, arranged for his transportation by the Schefflers. Joel's recovery has been slow and challenging, involving multiple surgeries and rehabilitation. Scott's return marks a significant moment as he balances his caddying responsibilities along with family commitments.
