Joel Dahmen Reflects On Caddie Breakup After Breakthrough Round At Wyndham
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On the very first day of the Wyndham Championship, PGA Tour pro Joel Dahmen fired a career-best 9-under 61 on Thursday to take the early lead. Interestingly, it wasn't just his scorecard that had fans talking, but the emotional weight behind it. The 37-year-old, who entered the week ranked 101st in the FedEx Cup standings, closed his opening round with three straight birdies at Sedgefield Country Club, vaulting to the top of the leaderboard ahead of Alex Noren. Have a day, Joel Dahmen! 👏 He currently leads the Wyndham Championship after an opening-round 61. — Golf Digest (@GolfDigest) July 31, 2025 But behind the red-hot start, Dahmen still feels the sting of the "hard" split from his longtime caddie and best friend, Geno Bonnalie. The duo had been inseparable for over a decade, working together since Dahmen's Korn Ferry Tour days, back in 2015. Their partnership blossomed into one of the most beloved player-caddie relationships on Tour, even earning fan-favorite status through Netflix's "Full Swing" series. But in July, just ahead of The Open Championship, Dahmen announced the breakup. Since then, his performance has been streaky. The Clarkston, Washington, native missed 12 cuts in 21 events this season. After Thursday's round, Dahmen addressed the breakup for the first time in depth.

(Photo by) More Getty Images "Man, I love Geno," Dahmen told reporters after his first round at the Wyndham Championship. "We still text almost daily. He's doing well. Yeah, I mean, I miss him but sometimes the hardest ... You have to do something hard to ... He continued: "Look, it wasn't an easy decision," he added during the same conference "I won't say I'm not happy about it but it's hard. He's my best friend, he's still my best friend. "It was more about me. It was my mentality, it was what I was doing and I needed to take ownership of what I was doing. I was not doing a good job of that. So, for a way, for me to do it as simple as just playing golf on my own for a little bit." Dahmen's decision to part ways wasn't about Geno's performance, instead about accountability. His longtime coach, Rob Rashell, stepped in as a temporary caddie this week. As Dahmen gets his own situation squared away, it might not be long before Bonnalie is back in business, too. "I love him, I miss him. I think we'll see him out here again soon," Dahamen expressed during the post-round conference on Day 1. Dahmen began his second round on Friday at 1:49 p.m. ET, paired with Ryan Palmer and Harry Higgs, both of whom are also fighting for playoff spots. With the top 70 advancing to the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Dahmen needs at least a runner-up finish to keep his season alive.

Brett Favre praises fellow Hall of Famer Deion Sanders after cancer news: 'He's a grinder'
Deion Sanders' mysterious health battle was revealed earlier this week when he announced he had been battling bladder cancer. "Men, everybody, get checked out. Because if it wasn't for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn't have stumbled up on this," he said earlier this week. "Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like this, I wouldn't be sitting here today becaue it grew so expeditiously. But please get yourself checked." TMZ Sports spoke to Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre about his former Atlanta Falcons teammate, and Favre said he was "totally shocked" when he heard about Sanders' diagnosis. "Listening to his press conference, it seemed to be something that shocked him and maybe even his doctors, because he didn't go in for that… Thank God they found it and it was a successful surgery. But I was completely caught off guard with the news but I'm thankful that the prognosis looks good," Favre said. Sanders' medical team said he was "cured from the cancer." Coach Prime continued coaching despite battling the illness, but Favre said that was typical of the Hall of Famer. "I'm not surprised [he isn't taking time off]. He's a grinder. When I was with Atlanta my first year, Deion had already solidified his place in NFL lore already. But one thing about Deion, he was never a tackler, and he would admit that. But he worked his butt off… He played every play in practice as if it were the Super Bowl-winning play. So I'm not surprised he's digging his heels in and is going to keep coaching," Favre said. Favre has his own health battles, as he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. "Not that he needs my advice, but just keep doing what you're doing. And as long as you enjoy it, whatever that may be, in his case it's coaching… keep doing it," Favre said. "You're impacting so many people and so many people are pulling for you, just keep it rolling." The 2024 season was the most successful year out of the two that Coach Prime had, as the Buffaloes finished 9-4 and made an appearance in the Alamo Bowl. Colorado opens up their 2025 campaign in a home game against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.
