re: Have we talked about Matt Kuchar paying his caddy $5k after his win at Mayakoba?

Plus, I will guarantee you that if this guy was pivotal to the win Kuch would have given him way more
The entire crux of the situation is Kuch is a cheap arse so I disagree. He's allegedly notorious on tour for doing this kind of thing.

There were probably a line of guys willing to do it for free just for the experience
That are professional, even club, caddies, no there aren't.
Again, this doesn't have to be "fair" or "right. " When one guy is extremely wealthy and the other is lives in what a lot of Americans park their lawnmowers in in their backyard it isn't as simple as I lost $200 to my buddy on a bet I shouldn't have made.
Both parties are somewhat to blame here with the caddy turning down the money, but it's painfully obvious who's going to catch hell here and Kucher and his team should have realized that and just paid the guy.

quote:They're catching hell because it's the juicy story that results in clicks. The articles are leaving out half of the facts and people aren't looking for fake news from golf.com or nolayingup but both of them are pushing a single narrative that's way more scandalous than the truth.

You know how many caddies were there? Heck Kuch could have gotten a friend or family member to do it.
