Golfer Rhein Gibson Whips Head Cover At His Caddie's Head, Immediately Fires Him

Pro golfer Rhein Gibson and his caddie were having a bad for all to see this week. Per BarStoolSports...
quote:

Web.com Tour player Rhein Gibson came to the 72nd hole in the Bahamas needing a birdie to tie the lead but hooked his second shot into a hazard. It took them a while to find the ball and once they did, caddie Brandon Davis deemed it “dead” aka unplayable, and says Gibson did too, so he picked up the ball.

A rules official declared this a penalty; Gibson incurred a 1-stroke penalty and finished 3rd instead of T2 which cost him $12,000, so he threw his putter head cover at Brandon and fired him on the spot.


Caddie Brandon Davis then posited this video to tell everyone what happened...

If I had recently been fired and were looking for a new job, I would post a shirtless rant with my hat on backwards.

Caddy actually didn't make the mistake here. If this "Pro" knew the rules, this situation would have been avoided.

How pissed would you be if someone cost you $13K on the spot?

It depends on where they place but 10% plus expenses is a good average.

Caddy needs some adderall. He's all over the place. The golfer is a douche.

It would've been Happy Gilmore vs Bob Barker brawl 2.0 if ole boy slung something and hit me in the face. I understand getting frustrated "on the job" but that's taking it too far. That's grounds for an arse whipping.

He was probably just making fun of his name. Nothing to see here

The caddy is actually correct. Also Rien should've tied for 2nd and this should be corrected.

I like the Caddie, good stuff, the PGA better rework the scorecard and somebody better pick this guy up for next week...the tossing of the head cover is priceless, will be a GIF for years to come

why would you pickup the ball regardless of your caddies or the Golf channels opinion. Take a few minutes and find an official. What was the rush?

The ball was unplayable per Golf Channel group following and helping look for the ball.
