"Its the golf season and my guy is on the sideline not mentally ready to play another golf tournament...At this rate I won't be filing a tax return for the year..WTF "
A grand doesn't even cover the airfare and hotel for the week. I do think that any caddy making over 200 grand is overpaid.. I think the players should be able to use range finders to get yardages while playing.
Of all the jobs that I ever had, caddying is the one I miss the most.....sometimes I think I should have stayed on some kind of tour.....1974/75 Womens Open I caddied for Donna Caponi Young and she finished around 17th or so and won 1760 bucks...I got exactly 10%.....I look at the money some make nowadays and wonder.....
Tiger's caddy is on a yearly salary, like most of the caddies for the bigger name players. I'm sure there are performance incentives in the deals, but I don't think the salaried caddies get 10%, probably a couple of points less because of the salary
