Caddie Substitute for Scottie Scheffler Receives Bonus of $360,000 Following Success at BMW Championship Tournament
Scottie Scheffler Wins BMW Championship with Michael Cromie as Caddie
Scottie Scheffler claimed a historic victory at the BMW Championship, winning his fifth PGA Tour title this year. In the absence of his usual caddie, Ted Scott, Scheffler was assisted by Michael Cromie, a bagman for Chris Kirk.
In the final round, Scheffler recovered from four strokes behind Robert MacIntyre to win by two strokes. The prize money for the tournament was $20 million, with Scheffler taking home $3.6 million.
Cromie, who is one of Ted Scott's good buddies, stepped up to the plate and did not disappoint. Scheffler paid tribute to Cromie's professional qualities in his post-tournament interview, praising his calm and composed demeanour.
If Scheffler wins the Tour Championship with Cromie as his caddie, Cromie could earn $1.36 million in bonus money. Caddies in professional golf are often paid 10% of what their player earns for a win, so Cromie could have earned a significant amount from the prize money.
Scheffler and Cromie communicated effectively and stayed patient throughout the tournament. They focused on hitting shots at the right targets to close out the BMW Championship.
The win marks Scheffler's latest victory and cements his place as one of the top players on the PGA Tour. With over $95 million in on-course career earnings, Scheffler is well on his way to becoming one of the most successful players in the sport's history.
However, it remains to be seen whether Scheffler will continue to work with Cromie at the Tour Championship. Scheffler missed both the FedEx St Jude Championship and BMW Championship, leaving room for the possibility of him turning back to Cromie for the final event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Robert MacIntyre was replaced by another player at the BMW Championship, but the search results do not specify who replaced him or who shared a significant amount of prize money with Scheffler at his victory.
Regardless of who was on the bag, Scheffler's performance was impressive. He showed great resilience and determination to come from behind and win the tournament. With Cromie by his side, Scheffler won the second round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and will be looking to continue his winning streak in the Tour Championship.
