Steven Alker announced Thursday that his caddie, Sam Workman, 55, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"Sam Workman has been much more than just a professional golf caddie to me the last four years," Alker, the PGA Tour Champions' reigning Charles Schwab Cup champion, wrote on Instagram. "He has been a friend, a motivator, a decision maker and a fighter. We’ve had some tough times and, as of late, some really good times. He’s been like an older brother to me since we first got connected in 2019."
Workman picked up golf when he was 6 years old, he told The Caddie Network in 2022.
