Another caddie has walked out on a player on the PGA Tour…
The fickle relationship between a PGA Tour player and his caddie is being highlighted during the FedEx Cup Fall Series.
Just last month, Alejandro Tosti, the Argentine known as one of the most tempestuous players on tour, was ditched by his looper Cliff Ellis mid-tournament and had to hire a spectator to carry his bag at the Biltmore Championship.
Ellis removed his bib midway through his round with Tosti after an extraordinary bust-up in North Carolina. He later said in an interview with the TeeBox Radio show that the “whole week was ridiculous” as tensions built over where he placed Tosti’s bag on the practice range and an umbrella in his bag.
At last week’s Baycurrent Classic, there was another mid-tournament split.
According to Golfweek, veteran caddie Darren Woolard quit on his player David Lipsky ahead of the final round in Japan. The report claims that Woolard told Lipsky that he’d had enough and to find someone else to carry his bag for the final 18 holes at Yokohama Country Club.
Lipsky, who currently sits 88th in the FedEx Cup Fall standings, finished with a round of 70 for a tie for 54th, which banked him a cheque of $18,000.
The American needs to finish in the top 100 in the standings to secure his PGA Tour card for the 2027, but it looks like he’ll be another player on the lookout for a new caddie.
