Okay, so I saw this thing about Joe LaCava, the caddie for Tiger Woods and now Patrick Cantlay, and I thought, “I gotta figure out what the deal is with this guy.” So, I dove in.
Started Digging
First, I just Googled his name. You know, the usual. Just wanted to get the basic info. What popped up was a bunch of articles about him, mostly about his switch from caddying for Tiger to Cantlay.
Reading the Tea Leaves (aka Articles)
I started reading through a few of these articles. Some were just newsy pieces, but others had some interesting details. It sounded like a pretty big deal when he left Tiger. There’s obviously history there.
Figuring Out the Timeline
- Noticed a lot of talk about his long career. Apparently, he’s been caddying for decades.
- Saw that he caddied for Fred Couples for a really long time before Tiger.
- Realized the Tiger-LaCava partnership was a big, successful one.
- Understood that the move to Cantlay wasn’t sudden – there was some lead-up with him caddying for Cantlay a few times while Tiger was recovering.
Putting the Pieces Together
So, after reading all this stuff, I started to piece together a picture. This guy, LaCava, is like, a caddying legend. He’s been around forever, had huge success with Couples, then a massive run with Tiger, and now he’s with another top player in Cantlay.
My Takeaway
It seemed to me, after doing all this digging, that this LaCava guy is super respected. He’s not just some random dude carrying clubs. He’s a key part of these golfers’ success. It’s like a coach-player relationship, but on the course, in real-time. I guess, it’s a skill in itself.
