Billy Horschel made his caddie a millionaire

Published

on

After winning the 2015 PGA Tour FedEx Cup and coveted $10 million prize, Billy Horschel paid his caddie $1 million.

It’s common practice for PGA Tour players to pay their caddies 10 percent of any prize money they won that week, but Fugitt told GolfWeek the bonus came as a shock because he wasn’t sure what the protocol was for a season-long cash prize.

Caddies everywhere hope Horschel’s move becomes standard practice with FedExCup prize money.

    THE YOUNG MAN IS A CLASS ACT IN ALL RESPECTS. GOLF NEEDS GENTLEMEN AND HEROES. ENOUGH OF THE PHILANDERERS, LIARS, CHEATS AND DRUG USERS.

    if you’re going to get a significant tax deduction, might as well get some good pr for it, as well.

    As expected from a Florida Gator. Hopefully this paves the way for what other FedEx Cup Winners do in the future. Good for you Billy Ho Golf!

    classy move – sad it came as a shock. All players should be doing it as it is quite obvious how much they rely on their caddies these days. If their wives get 50% then giving their caddies anything less than 10% is a joke and slap in the face.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.
