A caddie at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am received CPR after collapsing on the 11th fairway on Friday afternoon.
The tournament, which is being broadcast live on CBS and involves big names like Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen and Gareth Bale, was temporarily stopped while an ambulance came onto the course to attend to the stricken man.
Paolo Uggetti, a golf writer for ESPN, reported that the man - who was caddying for an amateur in the tournament - was still receiving CPR as he was stretchered to an ambulance on the 11th hole.
The statement read: 'During the second round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, there was a medical emergency at No. 11 at Pebble Beach involving an amateur's caddie. The caddie has been rushed to Montage Health for evaluation.
'At the direction of the PGA Tour Rules Committee, the players in that group paused play during the medical emergency and will be allowed to warm up and resume their rounds shortly. We will provide additional details when available.'
The group in which the caddie was carrying clubs involved four players - two amateurs and two professionals - and they were just over halfway through their round.
McGreevy told ESPN that the caddie 'collapsed in the middle of the fairway and they attempted to get his bag off him quickly so they could try CPR.'
It was reported shortly after that the group have been allowed to pause their round and have since headed back to the clubhouse to 'regroup'. It is unclear whether they will return to the course to finish their second round.
The tournament at Pebble Beach involves a host of top professionals and famous amateurs, with the likes of comedian Bill Murray, football coach Ron Rivera and actor Will Arnett all present at the course

If he was really on his deathbed he should receive total consciousness, just like Bill Murray.

I wonder how many people will tune into the Super Bowl this year just to see if anybody croaks...
Only the morbid

The only reason I might watch.
Ah, those were the days!
The NFL won’t care if it gooses ratings.
bkmk
Isn’t it normal for caddies to need CPR? Nothing to see here.
Kenny, that was really funny!
Actually, there’s a better chance of getting commodio cortis from a golf ball than a football tackle. But either way, it only affects kids.
Did anybody see any reporting on the caddy’s age? I read numerous articles about it and none that I’ve seen give his age or name. Could it be another climate change induced heart attack on young people and they just don’t want to panic the populace?
