Tiger Woods New Caddie : Byron Bell

Archief van: Golf Caddie

Tiger Woods New Caddy Joe Lacava

Tiger Woods announced on his Twitter account he has hired Joe LaCava, to be his new caddie. LaCava, had been the caddie for Dustin Johnson.

While Lacava is excited with the appointment as Tiger Woods caddie others are offended, especially Dustin Johnson. Tiger is accused of using underhand tactics to hire Joe Lacava.

According to news sources:-

LaCava only informed Johnson of his plans to work with Woods after the final round of the Tour Championship on Sunday.

An unhappy Johnson then told his coach, and Woods’s former coach, Butch Harmon, who said he was “disappointed” by Woods’s failure to speak to Johnson first.

Harmon told Sky Sports: “The thing that bothered me the most was Tiger not calling Dustin and asking if he could talk to Joe.

“That’s the way it’s done. I’m a little disappointed with the way Tiger handled it, but I’m not surprised.”

Woods has since tried to salvage the situation by claiming that LaCava approached him, a story that LaCava himself supports.
