Who is Justin Rose’s caddie?

He’s one of the most accomplished European golfers of his generation, but who is Justin Rose’s caddie?

Justin Rose’s caddie is Mark Fulcher.

The pair reunited last September ahead of the Ryder Cup, having previously worked together for 11 years between 2008 and 2019.

Fulcher was by Rose’s side when the Englishman won his maiden major championship in the 2013 US Open at Merion.

He has also been on the bag for all of Rose’ Ryder Cup appearances and his Olympic gold medal victory at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Health issues stemming from heart surgery in January 2019 prompted the two to go their separate ways.

At the time, it was feared that Fulcher – known on tour as ‘Fooch’ – might never caddie again.

However, after returning to the tour with, firstly, Dame Laura Davies, and then Alison Nicholas, Francesco Molinari and Billy Horschel, Fulcher reunited with Rose last autumn.

Speaking to Today’s Golfer, Rose explained why he decided to bring back his trusted lieutenant.

“I came to the decision post FedEx, but it had been rattling around in my brain for a few weeks prior to that, and it’s good to have him back – it was an easy decision,” said Rose.

“You asking me about it almost catches me by surprise because, while we’ve only been back working together for a week or so – Fooch came out for some practice with me – it just feels completely normal.

“We were together for so long and had the appropriate amount of time apart as well, you know. We both had the opportunity to go and do different things, experience different things and learn, then come back together with the previous ten or eleven years done and dusted and with a new goal of seeing what else we can achieve.

“We’re not trying to rekindle anything or live up to what’s been in the past because we have new challenges and it should be fun.”

In addition to being a world-class caddie, Fulcher is also an accomplished golfer and won the Bedfordshire Boys’ Championship in his younger days.

He was also a prolific user of social media and once famously got into a war of words with former footballer and Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker, who famously branded him “an absolute numpty” in a dispute over politics.

During their time apart, Rose worked with various other caddies, including Gareth Lord, David Clark and, most recently, Josh Cassell.

Cassell was alongside Rose when he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2023 – his 11th PGA Tour victory and his first since the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open.
