He’s long been one of the most accomplished players on the PGA Tour – but who is Keegan Bradley’s caddie?

Keegan Bradley is a multiple winner on the PGA Tour and he will always be remembered as a major champion after his victory at the PGA Championship in 2011.

Then a rookie, Bradley took the golf world by storm by defeating fellow underdog Jason Dufner in a playoff showdown in Atlanta.

To this day, he remains one of the only players to win on his first ever major start. At that tournament, Bradley had Steven “Pepsi” Hale on the bag, a calming influence who remained his caddie up until 2016.

So who is Keegan Bradley’s caddie now?

After splitting with caddie Steven Hale during a difficult period of form, Bradley turned to his current caddie Scott Vail.

Keegan Bradley’s caddie Scott Vail is an experienced bagman who has had huge success on the PGA Tour before working with Bradley.

He was the longtime caddie of Brandt Snedeker, partnering up with the American to win multiple tour events, most notably the FedEx Cup in 2012.

And after a short stint on 2016 Open champion Henrik Stenson’s bag, Vail assumed the full-time position as Keegan Bradley’s caddie.

Vail could have perhaps looked for a career in ice hockey before becoming a looper, as he is the son of former ice hockey player Eric Vail, who was a veteran in the NHL – National Hockey League.

But he took up golf at the Oshawa Golf Club in Canada and began his caddying career on the Canadian Tour and Korn Ferry Tour.

He is now a veteran on PGA Tour and has been hugely credited by Bradley for his success.

After winning the ZOZO Championship in 2022, Bradley said: “My caddie, Scott Vail, is a major part of where I’m at right now in winning this tournament. I’m so lucky to have him on my team, on my side.

“To be able to share wins like this with somebody that you like as a friend is even more special. I’m so thankful for all the work he’s done for me and having him on my side.”

The duo were still working together in 2024 and Vail was on the bag for Bradley’s win at the BMW Championship.

While he is a captain’s assistant at the Presidents Cup, Vail could be on the bag at next year’s Ryder Cup, where Bradley could be a playing-captain.
