It’s been a slow few weeks for the PGA Tour caddie carousel as the FedEx Cup Fall winds to its inevitable conclusion at the RSM Classic next week.
But let’s catch up on some of the movement worth knowing about.
Australia’s Karl Vilips has moved on from Brian Dilley, who worked for him at the WWT Championship where he missed the cut. Boston Brittain, who has bounced among different pros, takes over the bag this week.
Monday qualifier Thomas Rosenmueller picked up Colby Norman, who had been working for Danny Walker until they split after the first fall event in Asheville, North Carolina.
Veteran Nicholas Lindheim, who is playing the last three events on a medical, had his wife on the bag last week during the first round in Cabo but has opted for Tate
Leigh this week.
Chad Ramey shook things up after the Biltmore too, parting ways with Chris Tichenor, and this week he’s back with Nick Jones after a solid performance last week in Cabo with Rex Chaney.
Two changes from last week that went unmentioned but Kris Ventura, who secured his card for next season with a T-2 at the Vidanta Mexico Open, has Steve Hale back for a second straight event after Travis McAlister, who steered Ventura to his best finish, chose to take care of some family health issues. Hale has been working for Aaron Baddeley, who is on a medical, most recently but the Aussie didn't get into the field.
And William Mouw is sticking to his father, Billy, owner of Billy’s Egg Farm in Chino, California, who filled in last week in Cabo.
And not a change per se but a welcome back. Good to see Scott McGuinness, formerly caddie of Scottie Scheffler before he turned into a worldbeater with Ted Scott, back in the big leagues after shepherding Tommy Morrison to Korn Ferry Tour Rookie of the Year honors and securing a 2027 PGA Tour card.
The other recent Texas Longhorn grad, Christiaan Maas, playing on a sponsor’s invite in Austin, has Texas men’s assistant coach Erik Henson on the bag.
