Professional golfer Patrick Cantlay has made a major move ahead of the Wells Fargo Championship, hiring a caddie for Tiger Woods. This move is sure to make waves in the golf world, as Woods is one of the most iconic figures in the sport.
Cantlay has hired Joe LaCava, who has been Woods’ caddie since 2011. LaCava was with Woods during some of his most successful years, including when he won the 2019 Masters Tournament. LaCava is widely regarded as one of the best caddies in the game, and his experience and knowledge will be a great asset to Cantlay’s team.
This move is a big step for Cantlay, who has been steadily rising in the ranks of professional golfers. He currently sits at No. 8 in the world rankings and has won two PGA Tour events this season. With LaCava on his team, Cantlay will have a great chance to make a deep run at the Wells Fargo Championship.
LaCava’s decision to join Cantlay’s team is a major loss for Woods, who is still searching for his first win since 2013. Woods will now have to find a new caddie and adjust to a new team before the tournament begins.
The hiring of LaCava is sure to be a major talking point in the golf world leading up to the Wells Fargo Championship. It will be interesting to see how Cantlay and LaCava fare together, and if they can help Cantlay take his game to the next level.
