Well now, if you’re wonderin’ how much that Tiger Woods pays his caddie, let me tell ya, it’s not just a little bit of pocket change. You see, them caddies, they make a pretty good livin’, but it all depends on how much Tiger’s makin’. According to some folks over at Golf Week, Tiger’s caddie gets about 5 to 10 percent of what Tiger brings in. And let me tell ya, that boy ain’t makin’ chump change, so you can imagine what that caddie walks away with!
Now, when we talk about how much the caddies make week-to-week, it ain’t no small sum either. From what I hear, Tiger Woods’ caddie could be earnin’ anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 every week when Tiger’s out there on the golf course playin’. That’s a lotta money for walkin’ ’round the course, carryin’ clubs, and givin’ advice here and there, don’t ya think?
But don’t go thinkin’ that’s the same for every caddie, no sir. Some other folks like Rory McIlroy’s caddie, Harry Diamond, likely makes a good bit too. I reckon it ain’t much different for Tony Finau’s caddie, though, he’s got a billionaire doin’ the caddiein’ for him at this Hero World Challenge. Must be nice, huh?
But, back to Tiger. Now, Tiger Woods, he’s a big name in golf, and his caddie’s been with him for a long time. A feller by the name of Joe LaCava has been workin’ with Tiger since 2011. I reckon it’s a good gig if you can get it. Most caddies on the PGA Tour make about $2,000 a week, just as a base pay. But you know, Tiger’s caddie probably gets a little more than that, what with Tiger’s winnings.
Now, you ain’t gonna find Tiger Woods tellin’ the world exactly how much he pays his caddie, but I can tell ya that it’s gotta be a good sum. His earnings from the course are around $26.7 million! So if his caddie is gettin’ 5 to 10 percent, well, do the math yourself. That’s a mighty fine paycheck!
As for some of them older caddies, well, folks like Steve Williams, who worked with Tiger in the past, are now sittin’ pretty. They say ol’ Steve’s net worth is ’round $20 million. That ain’t too shabby, now is it? Of course, not every caddie ends up with that much, but it sure shows you can make a decent livin’ on the PGA Tour if you’re workin’ for the right person.
And I know you’re probably wonderin’ how much Tiger’s current caddie makes, but I reckon we’ll never know the exact number. Tiger ain’t one to share all his business with the world, but from what we can gather, it’s safe to say that Joe LaCava is doin’ just fine. He’s likely makin’ somewhere in the ballpark of $1,500 to $2,000 a week. Some weeks more, some weeks less, but still, that’s a nice chunk of change.
So, to sum it all up, them caddies ain’t poor by no means. They earn good money, and they get a piece of the pie when their golfer’s doin’ well. Tiger Woods might not tell ya exactly how much he’s payin’ his caddie, but I reckon it’s enough to keep him happy. And with the way Tiger’s been playin’, Joe LaCava sure ain’t complainin’.
