Great caddy change sends shock waves through PGA Tour

If it looks like it is rare for one of the best players in the world to change the cadites, well, it is because it is.

Scottie Scheffler and Ted Scott have become a very successful duet in the world rankings. World No.2 Rory Mcilroy has had Harry Diamond In his bag for the best part of a decade. World no. 3 Xander Schauffle worked with Austin Kaiser as long as he was on the tournament. If you have seen Jon Rahm, you have seen his cadet, Adam Hayes. If you’ve seen brooks koepka you’ve seen his Caddy, Ricky Elliott, who is on board for the five main victories. Are not so much big time never Change the cadets; Just that it’s a big deal when they do.

Enter the World No. 4 Collin Morikawa, who will have Joe Greiner in the bag that begins in the next week’s Truist Championship. The news, first Reported by Colt KnostIt means the end of Morikawa’s partnership with Jj Jakovac, the only caddy he has ever had as a professional.

The third time in the last few weeks Greiner has made important news in the Golf world.

Came first its separation With the tall boss and close friend Max Homa, whom he would find out in the biggest moments of his career.

“I mean. It wasn’t my choice, so it suck,” Homa stated to the masters. “But he always had an agreement that we are first friends and friendship mattered more than the work thing, and he was so wise to do what he did.”

Greiner then chose a couple begins for Justin Thomas, whose minister Caddy Matt “rev” was out with a back injury. The first of those beginnings came to the masters and the second, RBC Heritage, turned into Thomas’s the first victory in nearly three seasons. After the victory, Thomas had to close speculation that he would hire Greiner in full -time.

“We both knew how to go,” Thomas said on Siriusxm/PGA Tour radio. “It was a lot of a packed situation. We were so lucky that Joe was available until Rev u health

And so from next week, Greiner will be thrown from the Thomas bag, which is currently world no. 5, in Morikawa, which is currently no. 4.

Morikawa’s movement sends two clear messages.

The first is that he is not satisfied with his current game level; While he has been in quarrel again and again and again he has not won a PGA Tour event since the fall of 2023 and has not added to his large transport since the win of the 2022 open championship.

The second is how much he thinks about Greiner. This does not make it unique; Greiner is a loving and respected figure in the tour – not to mention a talented player in his right. But the fact that Morikawa is calling a partnership that has been very much, very well suggests that he thinks a partnership with Greiner may have a chance to be large.

Morikawa and Greiner know each other well; Homa and Morikawa are good friends, others Cal Bears, have been frequent round partners of practice for years and played together in team events. They also shared a coach, Mark Blackburn, for a short time; It is safe to assume that Greiner already knows the game of Morikawa quite well.

Homa worked with veteran Caddy Bill Harke, who was in the bag for his encouraging T12 masters.

It is not clear what will come next for Jakovac, though being in the bag for a couple large championships has not damaged his resume.

Thomas is also expected to turn into action in the next week’s brain, where it is possible that we will see the return of the Minister into action. With the second Major of the year, the PGA Championship, just two weeks away, every player wants to make sure he is making his foot best ahead.

And that he has the right son next to him, doing the same.
