OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler isn't sure if Ted Scott, his regular caddie, will be back at work at next week's Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
Scheffler will have another fill-in caddie carrying his bag in this week's BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Scott had to leave before the final round of last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis to return home to Louisiana for a family emergency.
"Ted's where he needs to be right now," Scheffler said after his Wednesday pro-am. "I think caddying is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be. I've been able to talk to him a few times. Family's in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well."
Michael Cromie will be working with Scheffler this week.
