Jordan Spieth's caddie and former sixth-grade teacher, Michael Greller, has likely made $2 million this season. Yeah, just let that sink in.
Greller's earnings would rank 39th on the PGA Tour money list, as the Big Lead's Michael Shamburger determined—not a bad deal for someone who left a stable career to gamble on the then-top-ranked amateur golfer.
Based on the $50,000 starting salary for Dallas teachers, per the Dallas Morning News, it would take Greller decades to earn as much as he was estimated to have pocketed in 25 PGA Tour events with Spieth.
The article’s first sentence in atrociously written. He was “a” teacher, not Spieth’s teacher. Although if he had been that would certainly be amazing.

To me Jason Day is as Spieth. He always consistent, hardly ever misses the cut. Same thing can not be said for Spieth. Should be a great rivalry for years to come.
