Who's next on Max Homa's bag? The caddie carousel has been busy of late
Who's next on Max Homa's bag? The caddie carousel has been busy of late Trying to keep up with the caddie carousel on the PGA Tour always has been a fool's errand but it has been particularly tricky of late. As is usually the case, all it takes is one domino to fall, and the caddie yard is in a state of flux. It was late March when caddie Joe Greiner split with his childhood buddy Max Homa after six Tour victories together for the good of their friendship. Homa quickly hooked up with veteran caddie Bill Harke, who was working as a swing instructor in the Bay Area and assistant coach to his partner — former LPGA pro Beth Allen — at Division II Academy of Art University in San Francisco. This all came at the recommendation of Jim 'Bones' Mackay. Greiner ended up spelling injured caddie Matt 'Rev' Minister for Justin Thomas at the Masters and when they won together at the RBC Heritage, JT's first victory in three years, rumors circulated that Greiner might go full-time with JT but he put the kibosh on those rumors quickly and Minister, who had replaced Bones a year earlier, returned at the PGA Championship. But it didn't take Greiner long to find a new full-time bag, hooking up with Collin Morikawa, the two-time major winner who has been battling his own winless drought. J.J. Jakovac had been Morikawa's only bagman since turning pro in 2019. JJ turned up as a fill-in on Matt Wallace's bag for one week at the Charles Schwab Challenge before landing a full-time gig with promising rookie Michael Thorbjornsen. (He failed at U.S. Open Final Qualifying and withdrew from the RBC Canadian Open this week, citing a wrist injury.) Jakovac slid into the job formerly held by Lance Bennett, who had been caddying for Tiger Woods before his latest injury sidelined him. Thorbjornsen shares the same management company, Excel Sports Management, as Woods and Homa. After Homa parted ways with Harke on Sunday following the Memorial, he carried his own bag during Monday's 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier and lost in a playoff. Who did Homa ring to handle caddie duties this week at the RBC Canadian Open? None other than Bennett. It's unclear what Homa's plans are beyond this week but stay tuned. The caddie carousel doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon.

Father's Day Gift Guide, Titleist alignment aids, TaylorMade zero-torque putters and more
Father's Day Gift Guide, Titleist alignment aids, TaylorMade zero-torque putters and more In this Get Equipped, we bring you Golfweek's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide, new Titleist alignment aid balls and zero-torque TaylorMade putters. Not to look past this week's RBC Canadian Open, but next week, the game's best male players — along with some hearty souls who went through qualifying — will descend on Oakmont Country Club for the 125th U.S. Open. The course is insanely hard. It's long, the rough is thick, and the greens are diabolically fast. In case you've forgotten, Dustin Johnson won at Oakmont in 2016 with a score of 4 under, and Angel Cabrera won at Oakmont in 2007 at 5 over. Distance off the tee and driving accuracy will be important, but everyone in the field is going to miss greens, which means that wedge play will be critical. Pros often put new wedges in play at the Masters, having played a practice round of two with them to make sure they like the bounce and sole configuration while keeping the grooves sharp. While summer is just arriving in many parts of the United States, given the amount of time elite golfers put into their short game, many will repeat the exercise before they arrive and compete at the U.S. Open. In two months, grooves wear down, spin rates on chip shots and pitches can decrease, and control can be sacrificed. If you want to win a U.S. Open, that can't happen. On the other hand, some recreational golfers will use the same sand wedge and lob wedge for years and wonder why they can't make a chip shot spin or check up quickly at their local course. If you play 25 to 30 rounds a year and don't practice often, you can probably get two seasons out of a sand wedge or lob wedge before groove deterioration will rob you of enough spin to lower performance. The more you play and the more you use those clubs, however, the quicker the grooves can wear out. There are lots of great wedges out there now, from brands like Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Mizuno, PXG, Ping, TaylorMade, Titleist, Tour Edge and Wilson. If you're still carrying a 56, 58 or 60-degree wedge that was in your bag before the COVID-19 pandemic started, talk with a good custom fitter about new wedges and get ready to see your short game come back to life.
