1 / 18
  • First thing's first, Scott is known for his good looks and has a high-profile dating history

  • He dated tennis player Ana Ivanovic off-and-on for years

  • He was a frequent spectator at her tournaments before they broke up in January

  • Whenever he's single, dating rumors pop up. He was linked to Kate Hudson at one point (he says they were just friends)

  • And now there are rumors that ABC wants him to be on The Bachelor

  • He certainly doesn't need the money from ABC. Scott made $10.8 million in 2012

  • Some of that (~$4.3 million) came from golf winnings. He has made $30.4 million on tour in his career

  • But he makes the real money ($6 million last year) off the course on sponsorships with companies like Mercedes and Uniqlo

  • He lives in Cran Sur Sierre in Switzerland, where Sergio Garcia also owns a house

  • Living there allows him to escape Australia's ~45% tax rate

  • He has cut back on his luxurious lifestyle in recent years. Two years ago he sold his $20+ million gulfstream jet

  • But he stills owns a mint condition 1973 Porsche, he told Golf Digest

  • Beyond planes and houses, he likes surfing

  • Scott has been golf's 'Next Big Thing' since a young age. His dad is a course designer

  • He won the Players Championship at age 23 in 2004

  • But he failed to win a major for nine years, hitting rock bottom with a meltdown at the British Open last summer

  • But less than a year later, he's a major champion and ranked No. 3 in the world

  • And all the girls love him
