PGA Tour, Caddie for Scottie Scheffler
EPISODE 285
Great questions demand great answers
In his 29 years as a PGA Tour caddie, Ted Scott has won four Masters and an Olympic gold – not by having all the answers, but by asking the right questions at the right time.
It’s how Ted guides the #1 player in the world, Scottie Scheffler, without getting in the way of his greatness. It’s his go-to strategy for getting better at anything. And it’s why he’s considered by many to be one of the best caddies to ever pick up a bag.
If you’ve ever struggled with when to speak up and when to stay quiet, or how to guide people without micromanaging them, then this is the conversation you need.
Plus, it’s full of memorable golf stories that you’ve probably never heard before, all told with Ted’s signature wisdom and charm.
You’ll also learn:
- The first question Ted asks any golfer he works with (and why it changes everything)
- How to disagree with someone without it becoming an argument
- A refreshingly simple formula for getting better at anything
- The (somewhat) shocking way he helped Scottie win the Olympics
