Think you could do a better job as Rory McIlroy’s caddie than Harry Diamond?

Now’s your chance to prove it.

World No.3 McIlroy is giving one lucky competition winner the chance to caddie for him at the upcoming FedEx St Jude Championship.

Taking place from August 15-18 at TPC Southwind in Tennessee, the tournament is the first of the FedEx Cup Playoff events and will be contested by the top-70 players on the FedEx Cup rankings upon the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship.

Currently sitting third on the standings, McIlroy’s place in the playoffs was assured long ago – and you can be there, shoulder-to-shoulder with him, as the climax to the 2024 PGA Tour season begins.

Organised in collaboration with the Alpine Formula 1 team – of which McIlroy is an investor – the competition will see one lucky winner invited to caddie for the four-time champion for nine holes during the Wednesday practice round.

Flights and accommodation will also be included for the winner and their plus-one, as well as hospitality tickets to the FedEx St Jude Championship.

Courtesy of GolfPass and GolfNow, prize bundles will also be given away to five runners-up.

Word of warning, though: no matter how good a job you do, you can forget about stealing Diamond’s job.

Speaking ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open earlier this month, McIlroy mounted a fierce defence of his right-hand man, who came in for widespread criticism following his late collapse at the US Open in June.

“These guys that criticise when things don’t go my way, they never say anything good when things do go my way,” said the Irishman.

“Where were they when I won Dubai earlier year, or Quail Hollow, or the two FedEx Cups that I’ve won with Harry, or the two Ryder Cups, or whatever?

“They are never there to say Harry did such a great job when I win, but they are always there to criticise when we don’t win.

“At the end of the day, they are not there. They are in the in the arena. They are not the ones hitting the shots and making the decisions.”

He added: “I think I know what I’m doing and so does Harry.”
