One of the most misleading parts of the golf.com article and others. As if any pro would pay out the full 10% to a local caddy who simply carries the clubs regardless of a win.
Correct. The 10% is incentive to stay on his bag and work his tail off each week to keep his pro competitive.
Not because he schelped a bag around for 5 days and gave him yardages. Toucan would know nothing about Kuch’s preferred approach in certain situations, where he tends to miss in tough spots, etc.

He didn’t need to pay him 10%. But paying him .38% is a bad look IMO.
It’s moreso that the caddy didn’t understand what a bad deal he was getting into. That’s on Kuch, because he knows what the guy should be getting if he won. I don’t think this makes Kuch a bad guy, and El Tucan even said he still thought Kuch was a good person, just that he was being cheap in this situation.
