Scottie Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, has spent over two decades on the PGA Tour, but he continues to prioritize his wife Melanie and their children.
Behind every great caddie is a strong support system; for Ted Scott, that pillar has always been his wife, Melanie.
Furthemore, the couple has been married for over two decades and has been each other’s constant supporter through all the good and bad times.
Although Melanie prefers to maintain a low profile and hasn’t shared much about her personal and professional life, Ted Scott often expresses his love and respect for his longtime wife.
Much like her husband Ted Scott, Melanie is also a talented golfer, but she chose not to pursue the sport at a professional level.
Recently, on January 2025, Ted Scott shared a beautiful picture of himself and his wife on their 22nd marriage anniversary with a beautiful caption that reads:
“Happy 22 years! God blessed me more than I deserve with Melanie. For anyone that knows her, you know I over married. But she’s fortunate that I try all my jokes out on her before I take em to the public. So there’s that.Anyway. 2 great kids. Praying for more years with themThank you Jesus for the last 22🙏”

Moreover, Ted and Melanie’s relationship is rooted not only in mutual respect and love but also in a shared Christian faith that continues to shape their lives both on and off the course.
It was Melanie’s steady faith that helped guide Ted Scott into his own spiritual awakening.
In an interview, Ted Scott said that when he first met his wife Melanie, he had his own ideas about God, treating faith as something to turn to only in times of trouble, but Melanie, who was raised in church, gently corrected him, not with pressure but with scripture.
Similarly, when Ted proposed, Melanie accepted, but with one important request that they had to start attending church.
One Sunday, after a service, Melanie went up to speak with the pastor, and Ted followed. That conversation led to a meeting later that week, which became the turning point in Ted’s life as it was the day he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, Ted Scott said in an interview, appreciating his wife Melanie’s contribution to changing his life.
Their marriage reminds us that even in a profession defined by long hours and global travel, faith and family can stay front and center if we build our lives on a foundation strong enough to weather anything.
Ted Scott And His Wife Melanie Are Proud Parents Of Two Kids
Ted Scott is not just an amazing husband to his longtime wife Melanie, but a great father to their two kids, daughter Gabrielle and son Elijah.
Moreover, Ted Scott prioritizes his family above everything, though his job requires constant travel and long days on the golf course, he often spends time with his wife and two kids.
The Scott family has built a home life that is active, joyful, and spiritually centered.
“I always tell Melanie, if the travel ever gets to be too much, she just has to say the word,” said Ted Scott.
He further added that his wife Melaie has the freedom to tell him it’s time to stop, stating, “That’s the kind of understanding we have.“
Despite the distance his job can create, Ted believes he spends more quality time with his family than many who work a traditional 9-to-5 job.
When he’s home, he’s fully present. Whether playing basketball, swimming, or soccer, the family stays active together.
Similarly, like his wife Melanie, Ted Scott’s children, Gabrielle and Elijah, also prefer to maintain a low profile. However, Ted often shares pictures of them on his social media, expressing his love and pride for his kids.
He even took a day off during the 2024 PGA Championship to attend his daughter Gabrielle’s high school graduation.
Moreover, Gabrielle inherited her athletic skills from her athletic parents, Ted and Melanie; she is an exceptional gymnast.
