Robert MacIntyre has sealed a PGA Tour card after becoming one of the biggest stars on the DP World Tour.

The Oban native has had a swift rise to the top of the game since turning pro in 2017, with a solid record in major championships and forcing his way onto the Ryder Cup team. He’s also a firm favourite with the fans.

But who is the Scotsman’s caddie?

• Who is Rory McIlroy’s caddie?

• Who is Cameron Young’s coach?

After plenty of changes, MacIntyre currently has Englishman Mike Burrows on his bag, with the pair joining forces in late 2023 after the Ryder Cup triumph. Things got off to a great start for the pair, with MacIntyre sealing his route to America.

MacIntyre was one of the top ten finishers on the Race to Dubai standings in 2023, to snatch a highly sought after PGA Tour card.

Burrows is highly experienced and caddied for Scott Henry earlier in his career and also had spells with Marcus Armitage, Garrick Porteous and Mike Lorenzo-Vera. He then teamed up with China’s Haotong Li, the duo winning the 2018 Dubai Desert Classic, while his most recent bag was Danny Willett’s.

It is understood that the move was made due to Burrows’ experience on the other side of the Atlantic, where Bob will tee it up on a regular basis in 2024.

Burrows replaced Irish-born Greg Milne, who was the man on MacIntyre’s bag, including for that famous success in Rome – and despite parting ways, they remain great friends.

“It was just the time was right to change,” he added.

“Not just for me but for Greg. The two of us were, almost getting, I’d say stagnant in what we were doing. We’re good mates, but we almost spent too much time together.

“Greg did his absolute best for me every week and it showed, my results were good. But when things aren’t going well, you have to change something.

“It was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but once Greg and I had parted, my mind was set and I was always getting Mikey.”

Prior to the pair working together, Bob started the season with Fife-born Mike Thompson, who was once with four-time major winner Brooks Koepka when the former world No.1 was playing on the Challenge Tour in 2013.

However, before linking up with MacIntyre, Thomson had found himself without a bag and was working as a delivery driver for his local bakery in Lundin Links, as well as doing caddying shifts at Kingsbarns.

So, after a topsy turvy relationship with caddies, MacIntyre will head onto the PGA Tour with Mike Burrows by his side.
