Here is an argument for all those people that say golfers aren’t real athletes. Justin Rose, our U.S. Open champion, admitted this week that he hurt his shoulder last year by throwing a golf ball to his caddie. According to Golfweek, Rose threw a golf ball to his caddie at the Barclays back in late […]

The jumping chest bump has become a universal language in sports, something you see all over the world between teammates celebrating something marvelous. That is, in every sport but golf. Not a ton of golfers are airing out to bump chests with their caddies, but that changed on Thursday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am […]

Henrik Stenson had such a good year that his caddie bought himself a Ferrari
November 22, 2013 by
As a professional golfer, you always dream of that day that money isn’t something you’re worried about.

The PGA Tour bans caddie races at Waste Management, totally miss the tournament’s theme
August 14, 2013 by
Every year, as January kicks off, my phone starts vibrating. It’s from friends across the country or golfs fans on Twitter or even business associates online informing me that this is the year they’re traveling to the Greatest Show on Grass. The Waste Management Open isn’t a golf tournament, it’s an experience. These people that […]
Jessica Korda fired her caddie during the middle of her round at the U.S. Open
June 29, 2013 by
A lot of people think the only job of a caddie is to carry the bag. That couldn’t be more wrong. A caddie is a swing coach, a mental coach, a voice of reason and persuasion and the person that makes sure, if you go on tilt, that things can smooth over so you can […]

Golfer penalized at Senior British Open for ‘undue delay’ by caddie — his wife
July 28, 2012 by
The player-caddie relationship in professional golf is very much like a marriage. You’re going to have days where you completely click as a team and everything seems to be going right. And there will also be off days when things … well, they don’t go as planned. Pete Oakley, the 2004 winner, had one of […]
European Tour player disqualified after caddie tries to hide 15th club in bush
June 23, 2012 by
There are plenty of ways to get disqualified from a golf tournament. You can pull a “John Daly” and run out of golf balls; oversleep and pull a “Jim Furyk”; or pull a “Robert De Vicenzo” and sign an incorrect scorecard. On Thursday at the European Tour’s BMW International in Cologne, Germany, pulling a “Jose Manuel Lara” […]
