Who is Tiger Woods’ caddie?

He is arguably the best golfer in the history of the game – but who Tiger Woods’ caddie?

Tiger Woods has worked with a few caddies throughout his career, but he had Joe LaCava on his bag before he started playing a significantly reduced schedule.

LaCava was caddying for Woods since 2011, and was at his side during his remarkable comeback win at the 2019 Masters.

From Connecticut, La Cava previously worked with Fred Couples for two decades and spent four years on the bag of Dustin Johnson.

The pair eventually parted ways after the Masters in May 2023, when LaCava moved onto Patrick Cantlay’s bag full-time. It was a move that Woods agreed to as the 15-time major champion teed it up less.

And, on his third comeback from serious injury, Rob McNamara is Tiger Woods’ caddie.

Woods announced ahead of his comeback at Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas in 2023 that McNamara would loop for him at his event in Albany.

McNamara is a close friend and business associate of Woods. He is the vice-president of Woods’ TGR Ventures company and is also an accomplished player himself, having played many rounds with Tiger when the pair were juniors in southern California.

“I’ve got Rob this week, he’s seen me hit a few shots,” Woods said at the Hero World Challenge. “As far as next year, I don’t know yet.”

Many thought McNamara may continue on the bag for the 2024 season, but Woods appointed veteran looper Lance Bennett to carry his bag for his first start of the year at the Genesis Invitational.

Who is Tiger Woods’ caddie Lance Bennett?

Bennett is a longtime caddie on the PGA Tour having worked with Matt Kuchar, Sungjae Im and Davis Riley. He was working for Belgian Adrien Dumont de Chassart at the time he took on Woods’ bag.

Despite not being announced as a permanent fixture going forward, Woods opted to have Bennett on the bag at the 2024 Masters, too.

“I’ve had a great relationship with him over the years going back to when he caddied for Kuchar and when we played at the Presidents Cup together back in, what, Muirfield Village,” Woods said when asked about Bennett at Riviera.

Bennett made his debut on Woods’ bag at Riviera in February and looks likely to retain it into 2025.

It’s unclear whether the pair will reunite, however, as Woods is only just returning from another period on the sidelines after surgery.

Woods confirmed in September that he underwent microdecompression surgery of the lumbar spine for nerve impingement in the lower back.

Woods is yet to confirm who will caddie for him on return at the PNC Championship, but he had 16-year-old daughter Sam fill those shoes in 2023.
