he gets off cheap...
Unfortunately (for him) he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the right thing.
Apparently Kuchar's regular caddy wasn't available so he had to rely on a local caddy for the tournament. After winning the tournament and the $1,296,000 prize money, he only gave his caddy $5,000 as opposed to the 10% normally given to his and the regular pro tour caddies........
Kuchar is going to have a long time living down this major faux pas on his part.
This warrants a
“ carry your own damn bag”
the next time he need a stand-in.
Cheap bastard...
50K he got off easy...
Kuch doesn’t have the game that he used to but he still always walks the course with a huge smile and seems like a good guy. This one set him back for sure.
If the caddy wanted a pro deal he should have accepted nothing for not making the cut. As it was he got paid more than the initially agreed upon price.
If he was smart he would have leveraged Kuchars win into a job on the web.com tour but nah, he had to go all victim and got short money.
He will never carry a pro bag again.
I’d have stopped the original $5000 check and told the caddy to get stuffed...
Five thousand would be Almost 100 thousand in Mexico, oh yes the poor guy who has probably never had more
than ten pesos in his pocket really got slinked.
$50,000 to carry a bag?!
That makes no sense.
