Scheffler Jibes at Caddie’s Mustache at FedEx St. Jude Championship

The remark underscores Scheffler’s close rapport with longtime caddie Ted Scott, with extreme heat forecast for Memphis expected to shape player snacks and hydration plans.

Overview

  • Ted Scott arrived at TPC Southwind sporting a mustache and Scottie Scheffler told reporters on Wednesday that “he looks stupid,” a familiar bit of ribbing between the two.
  • Scott has caddied for Scheffler since November 2021 and has been on the bag for all 20 of Scheffler’s PGA Tour wins, including four majors and two FedEx Cups.
  • Scheffler said his in-round routine is simple food and water and that his wife Meredith has long made protein balls he brings to tournaments.
  • Forecasts reported by local outlets project Memphis temperatures rising from the mid-90s into the triple digits by Sunday, a change that will force players to adjust hydration and energy plans during the FedEx Cup playoff stop.
  • The mustache story fits a recurring pattern of facial-hair experiments among players and caddies around the playoffs and follows Scott’s return to Memphis after missing last year’s finish to deal with a family emergency.
