\t\t\t\tLee Westwood has turned to an old friend again as his caddie for the 2026 season on the LIV Golf League\u2026<\/p>\n
Lee Westwood is not finished just yet. <\/p>\n
The 52-year-old has preserved his LIV Golf status for another season \u2013 and he insists there is still fuel in the tank to add to the 44 worldwide wins he\u2019s enjoyed across his storied career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always said I\u2019d stop when I don\u2019t have the motivation,\u201d the former world No.1 told TG at a LIV preview event for the 2026 season. \u201cThe motivation\u2019s still there to not [just] play tournaments, but to go in the gym and to practise and do the stuff that people don\u2019t see. But at the end of the day, the cherry on top of the cake is being out playing tournaments and testing yourself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re a competitive sportsman, and you have been for 35 years, you\u2019ve got to really embrace the nerves and that taste in your mouth when you get under pressure and try and perform under pressure and hopefully do well and come out the other side with a positive outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Westwood\u2019s former Majesticks GC co-captain Henrik Stenson was relegated from the league last year and has decided to renew his DP World Tour membership for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
And while Westwood says he\u2019ll have \u201cplenty of options\u201d of his own in life beyond LIV, he says his main focus right now is improving his results on the league. He will also continue venturing into senior golf and plans to play the US Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in Ohio in July.<\/p>\n
Who is Lee Westwood\u2019s caddie?<\/p>\n
Lee Westwood and his old caddie Billy Foster reunited in 2025.<\/p>\n
The English pair worked together from 2009 to 2018 in a spell that saw Westwood become the world\u2019s No.1 golfer. Foster was also by his side for three of his 11 Ryder Cup appearances. <\/p>\n
When Matt Fitzpatrick decided he needed a fresh face on his bag at the start of the \u201925 season, Foster decided to go part-time. He caddied for Collin Morikawa at the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open \u2013 a fortnight that yielded two missed cuts for the American \u2013 and then enjoyed a three-week stint alongside Westwood for LIV Golf\u2019s final regular season events in Chicago and Indianapolis as well as the Team Championship.<\/p>\n
The Majesticks co-captain narrowly avoided relegation with Foster on the bag, aided by a tie for 17th in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
And Westwood confirmed to TG that his relationship with Foster will continue into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to do most of them,\u201d Westwood said, discussing the 14 events. \u201cAt the start of the season it\u2019s predominantly all Billy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Westwood said that his wife Helen Storey, who has caddied for him for several years, may fill in for a couple of events, too. The pair married in Las Vegas in 2021.<\/p>\n
Storey was on the bag as Westwood finished T34 at last year\u2019s Open Championship at Royal Portrush, his first major start in three years.<\/p>\n
Billy Foster isn’t done yet. He’s about to spend his 44th year as a caddie out on tour. <\/p>\n
He’ll be will be back working with Lee Westwood for the majority of his LIV starts this year after they reunited last season. pic.twitter.com\/C8md1gzTbd<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ben Parsons (@_benparsons) January 28, 2026<\/a>
