According to the PGA TourMichael Greller, longtime caddy for Jordan Spieth, will fill in for Max Homa in the first stop of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Homa’s regular caddy, Joe Greiner, was unavailable this week but is expected to it’s back to the West Coast Swing, which starts in two weeks.
Homa is coming off a winless 2024 after winning five times in the previous three seasons. He is currently ranked 41st in the world; a year ago he entered the same tournament ranked 7th.
Spieth didn’t qualify for The Sentry, but it’s unlikely he would have been able to play anyway. His season ended at the FedEx St. Louis Championship.

“Everything has gone according to plan,” Spieth said. “I’ve been kind of hitting the ball the last couple of weeks and then I was able to play fully this weekend. The weather has been nice here in Dallas, I’ve been in it for the last time, well, really, I’ve been hitting Nerf balls for a while so I could work on some mechanics and have no contact.
“Now I have zero restrictions. It feels good. None of the shooting, you know, I have no problem with it. No pain, no nothing. So now it’s just taking care of it, continuing to do therapy maybe through the New Year, and just get ready to go start playing golf and get ready to play three straight weeks. I think that’s kind of the next step is to go out and play, which is going to be fun. It’s going to be a little rusty to start with for sure.”
Spieth was winless in 22 starts last season and recorded three top 10s. He is still looking for his first win since the 2022 RBC Legacy.
The Sentry, a signature event, begins Thursday at the Plantation Course in Kapalua. You can watch first-round action from 6-10 p.m. ET on Golf Channel or the NBC Sports app.
