How soon before Spieth dumps his caddie?

If he had the yardage completely wrong, then that is on the caddy for not getting that right, but giving the yardage and then suggesting a club based on weather and how your player has been hitting it is just giving advice. The final decision and swing is up to the player.

Even if it was his fault for a bad number, you don't do that in public. I'm sure the caddy doesn't do the same thing when the player mishits a perfect read......or hits it in the water a few times blowing a tournament.

Spieth has a head issue. I have doubts about his mental toughness.

I know many were anointing him the next Tiger a few years back and maybe that got to him with the early success and high expectations. With almost $40M in earnings on tour to go along with endorsements, you know it's not the money putting pressure on him.

Koepka is about the calmest I've seen in majors.

Koepka is calm on the outside but has that killer instinct on the inside.

Caddy has made close to $6mm off of Speith. Used to be a school teacher.

maybe if spieth could putt his caddies's fuc ups would be minimized.


those uphill shots on a west coast golf course w/ thick marine air is at least a 1/2 club more/shot.

Big time. He gets paid big money. That comes with big responsibility. I have no problem with Speith’s criticism here.

too much is put on the caddies... Ultimately its the players decision.

I'm not buying the fact that Spieth wasn't calling him out

If he's getting paid big money...as a caddie, that means to me that he's doing a pretty good job and or has a hot player, else you don't make big money.

Most of the caddies real work is done before the event actually starts.

Spieth did let him have it and to me it doesn't matter whether it was on camera or not...caddies get reamed out on a regular basis on the PGAT when things are not going well for the player...so I think you let that roll off your back. If it's still a problem after the round, etc. maybe I get fired, but if I had Spieth's bag, I will get another bag, not too concerned.
