OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – Matt Kuchar has a familiar face on the bag this week at the BMW Championship after parting ways with longtime caddie John Wood.
Kuchar’s wife, Sybi, is caddying this week at Olympia Fields as the 42-year-old looks to extend his season another week. Those longshot chances took a big hit when the veteran opened with a 5-over 75, leaving him eight shots off the early lead.
Kuchar and Wood had been together since 2015, teaming for Kuchar’s 2019 Sony Open victory as well as his bronze medal performance at the 2016 Olympics. They last worked together at the PGA Championship, where Kuchar missed the cut, and the following week Wood told him he wanted off the bag.
