World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will compete in the PGA Tour's BMW Championship without his regular caddie, Ted Scott, due to a family emergency. Scheffler's agent confirmed that Scott will remain at home to address personal matters. To fill the gap, Scheffler has brought in Michael Cromie, a seasoned caddie who typically works with Chris Kirk.

About Michael Cromie

• Background: Cromie played college golf at the University of Georgia, earning All-American honors and winning the prestigious North & South Amateur in 2014.

• Experience: He has been a key figure in Kirk's recent success, guiding him to two tournament victories since 2023.

• Availability: Cromie became available after Kirk finished 51st in the FedEx Cup standings, missing out on the BMW Championship.

Scheffler's Previous Fill-in Caddie

In the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler used Brad Payne as his fill-in caddie after Scott returned home for a family issue. Payne, a PGA Tour chaplain and close friend of Scheffler, helped him finish T3, just one stroke shy of a playoff.

Cromie, who regularly caddies for Chris Kirk, will partner with Scheffler after Kirk finished 51st in the FedEx Cup standings, missing the BMW Championship cutoff. Scheffler's usual caddie, Ted Scott, is attending to a private family matter.

Scheffler's Current Standing and Upcoming Event

Scheffler currently tops the season points standings and has secured his spot at the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta next week. Despite already qualifying for the Tour Championship, Scheffler aims to become the first golfer to win back-to-back FedEx Cups. With Cromie by his side, Scheffler will face stiff competition at the BMW Championship, where the top 50 players vie for a spot in the top 30 of the FedEx Cup finals.

🚨🏌️🙏 JUST IN: Scottie Scheffler will have Chris Kirk’s caddie Mike Cromie on the bag at Caves Valley for the BMW Championship this week. Ted Scott is currently dealing with a family matter, no word on when he will return.
