CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Caddies moving from one player to the next is nothing new on the PGA Tour, but Tuesday’s bombshell that Joe LaCava was now working for Patrick Cantlay after more than a decade looping for Tiger Woods stood out.
According to Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis, LaCava was given the “blessing” from Woods to work for Cantlay full time and this week’s Wells Fargo Championship will be the duo’s first tournament.
“I've been friends with Fred Couples a long time, he's been in Newport Beach [Calif.] for a number of years now and we've played a lot of golf together, so I've heard a number of great things about Joe,” Cantlay said.
