Ted Scott is currently living the high life. Serving as the caddie for World No.1, Scottie Scheffler, he enjoys a prime vantage point as the 27-year-old dominates nearly every PGA Tour event he enters. Introducing Ted Scott, or teddy, as most people call him. The Masters put out a video about him last year. He's one of the more well-known caddies in the business, but I figured I'd share some stuff that you might not know about him here. In 1994, Teddy won the World Foosball Championship. He recalled an interesting event that he attended saying, "It was like a crack house for foosball players." “It was a little bit like 'Silence of the Lambs' walking in the basement going down there to play foosball. There was 25 people in there, nobody smoked downstairs, it was really hot, had this eerie lighting, concrete block walls, and here I roll in, here comes the captain, and I promise you, not five people knew who I was. They were all totally sweating and totally into their foosball deal."
