Most caddie's earn a standard salary of 5% of whatever the pro makes in tournament play plus a weekly salary however since Steve Williams was caddie for the most successful golfer of all time, that percentage was increased to 15%. In most years Williams earned more money as a caddy than most of the professional tournament players. In 2007 he earned $1.4 million in commission alone which would put him the top 75 of PGA earners for the year. Williams also earned money though endorsements, and gifts from Tiger.
