Golf fans were left stunned this week after reports surfaced that Ted Scott, the longtime caddie of Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, is not only absent from the BMW Championship but also facing a heartbreaking personal crisis: divorce after 20 years of marriage.
His wife, speaking publicly for the first time, broke down in tears as she revealed the end of their relationship. Fighting emotions, she described the separation as “the hardest decision of my life,” reflecting on the two decades they shared filled with both joy and struggles.
“Marriage is never easy, especially when life on the road takes so much out of you,” she said. “Ted’s career has been an incredible journey, but it also meant long periods apart. Over time, that distance built walls between us. I will always respect him, but sometimes love changes.”
The revelation has shocked the golf world, where Scott is widely admired for his humility, deep faith, and steady hand as Scheffler’s caddie. His absence at the BMW Championship, once attributed to other reasons, now takes on new meaning in light of the emotional turmoil he is enduring.
According to those close to the family, the couple had tried counseling and personal time apart, hoping to rebuild their bond, but the challenges proved insurmountable.
Fans and fellow golfers alike have responded with an outpouring of support on social media, sending messages of encouragement to both Ted and his wife. Many praised her honesty and courage for sharing such a painful truth with the public.
Scott himself has yet to release a formal statement, but insiders suggest he is leaning on his faith and remaining focused on his professional commitments while navigating this difficult chapter.
For now, his absence from the BMW Championship stands as a reminder that, beyond the greens and fairways, even those who help shape golf’s greatest moments face personal battles that no trophy can ease.
