The caddie is in charge of carrying the player's bag, keeping the clubs clean, and washing the ball when on the green, and walks ahead of the golfer to locate their ball and calculate the yardage to the pin and/or hazards.
How much does a pro golf caddy make?
While every player/caddie agreement is different, generally speaking, most PGA Tour caddies make a base of between $1,500 and $3,000 per week. Based on a player's finish, a typical caddie rate is around 5% of the winnings for any finish outside the top 10.
What do caddies do for the pros?
Caddies do more than carry a 40-pound bag and hand clubs to their golfers. Pro golfers rely on their caddies – especially the highest-paid caddies – to help them play their best golf by advising them of the yardage to the hole, the dimensions of a dogleg, or the location of a sand trap.
