April 14, 201511 yr Author Spieth should send Tiger a thank you card. Jordan earned $1.8M for the win and Tiger only won $478k I believe back in 97'. As should everybody getting a check on the tour. Love him or hate him, he's the reason the purses are what they are.
April 14, 201511 yr Just saw an article today that said caddies get $1300-$1800 per week plus 5/7/10 cut. 5% for made cut, 7% for top ten finish and 10% for a tournament win. Also said caddies for top players are making more than that. They estimate Spieth's caddy has made about $375,000 in the past 30 days!
April 14, 201511 yr As should everybody getting a check on the tour. Love him or hate him, he's the reason the purses are what they are. I heard a TV golf expert say about 5 years ago that every tour player should give 10% of his earnings to Tiger for what he has done for the purses...

Just read the article about what caddies make...looks like I was incorrect in what they make. I do find it amazing that a tour player would pay a caddy $500,000 to $1MM or more EVER. I know the caddy is important to a pro but that is a lot of jack to do the three things a caddy must do...show up, keep up and shut up:)!
August 17, 201511 yr Author Hard not to go chalk. Bubba has won 2 of the last 3. Spieth is the hottest player on tour right now. I said at the beginning of the year that Jason Day would have a breakout year. Thinking about going into the palm-reading business.
