Comes from the same Düsseldorfer Golf Club as fellow DP World Tour star and good friend Marcel Siem, who acted as a mentor to the teenage Schott and even had him caddie for him on Tour.

Turned professional in 2021 after some regional amateur success and won his first professional event on the ProGolf Tour at the FaberExposize Gelpenberg Open that same year.

His second victory came on the HotelPlanner Tour at the Frederikshavn Challenge - Presented by HESSEL as he finished ninth on the 2022 Road to Mallorca to earn his way onto the DP World Tour.

Lost his card in his rookie season but gained it straight back as he won Qualifying School Final Stage and while he once again failed to keep his playing privileges in 2024, two top tens in limited starts in 2025 saw him secure his card for 2026.

He quickly took full advantage, defeating Calum Hill and Patrick Reed in a play-off to win the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship for his first DP World Tour title in February 2026.
