Collin Morikawa splits with another caddie after just five tournaments
For the second time in three months, Collin Morikawa is switching up his caddie.
The American golfer confirmed to Golfweek Wednesday that he's moving on from Joe Greiner after just five tournaments together.
Morikawa will have KK Limbhasut, his former college teammate at California, filling in for this week's Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.

Morikawa, 28, did not offer details on what went into the parting of ways, or who his long-term replacement on the bag will be.

Morikawa partnered with Greiner after parting with J.J. Jakovac, who had been the only caddie of his career, in April.
With Jakovac, Morikawa captured six titles on the PGA Tour and two majors: the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 Open Championship.

But Morikawa opted to replace Jakovac with Greiner, a veteran caddie who had been working for Max Homa since 2019.
Greiner made the decision to split with a struggling Homa just before the Masters.
'It was not my choice, so it sucked, but we always had a deal that we're friends first and friendship mattered more than the work thing, and he was wise enough to do what he did,' Homa said at the time.

Greiner then went on to sub for the injured Matt Minister to caddie for Justin Thomas at the Masters and the RBC Heritage, which Thomas won, before joining forces with Morikawa.
Greiner first caddied for Morikawa at Wissahickon in Philadelphia, where Morikawa finished T-17.
The Los Angeles native then came T-50 at the PGA Championship, T-20 at the Memorial, T-23 at the U.S. Open and T-42 at the Travelers Championship.

Besides his switch on the bag, Morikawa was also seen discussing a potential putter change on the practice green in Detroit.
Morikawa currently is the fifth-ranked golfer in the world behind No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Thomas.
However, Morikawa has not earned a win since the Zozo Championship in October 2023.

Bernie's big breakthrough ends with Mallorca defeat
Bernard Tomic has enjoyed making tennis news for all the right reasons in the Mallorca Open, but has finally had his adventures back in the top-flight terminated ruthlessly by Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut. The 32-year-old Tomic, who's delighted many within the sport by battling back in to his first main draw in a tour-level event since he qualified for the Australian Open back in 2021, went down 6-3 6-3 to the in-form seventh seed Bautista Agut, who last week reached the semi-finals at the Queen's Club Championship. Former world No.17 Tomic, whose victory over his fellow Australian Rinky Hijikata in the first round was his first triumph in a tour event main draw in 1597 days, couldn't keep the fairytale going on Wednesday as the 37-year-old 'RBA' earned early breaks in both sets to avoid any prospect of an upset. Back in the quarter-finals 🔥Roberto Bautista Agut defeats Tomic 6-3 6-3 to make his fourth consecutive quarter-final in Mallorca!#MallorcaChampionships — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) June 25, 2025 Tomic has been accused plenty of times in the past of not caring about the sport but his globetrotting battles to play in minor events over recent years have demonstrated that, actually, he still needs the sport and is determined to give everything in one last shot at making the top 100. Down at 248 in the rankings, his spirited run through qualifying and into the last-16 of the Spanish grass-court event will make sure he'll rise as high as No.214 next week. And though he decided to give Wimbledon qualifying a miss - he would have made the cut as an alternate if he hadn't decided instead to play in Mallorca - it seems sure he'll again be battling in the Flushing Meadows qualification for the US Open. If Tomic was a maverick from another era, French artist Corentin Moutet is a 2025 tennis cult figure, as he demonstrated by dishing up six underarm serves on his way to a second-round victory over Germany's Daniel Altmaier. He won three and lost three of the points in which he employed the tactic as he went on to win 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-3). He'll face his first ATP Tour quarter-final of the year against American Learner Tien, who upset top seed Ben Shelton 6-4 7-6 (7-2). In the Eastbourne International, Britain's 35-year-old Dan Evans again belied his world ranking of 170 as he knocked out American world No.13 Tommy Paul 6-4 3-6 6-3, having beaten world No.12 Frances Tiafoe at Queen's.

Collin Morikawa Explains Why He Split From Caddie Joe Greiner
Collin Morikawa Explains Why He Split From Caddie Joe Greiner originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In October 2023, Collin Morikawa won the Zozo Championship, a tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and Japan Golf Tour. It marked Morikawa's first win in 27 months. Advertisement That victory turned out to be more of a short respite than a true shift in fortune. In 2024, Morikawa had zero wins in 22 events with a pair of runner-up finishes and eight top 10s. It has been more of the same in 2025 across 13 events with no wins, two runner-up finishes and three top 10s. Perhaps the inability to secure wins pushed Morikawa to seek a change because on Wednesday it was revealed the 28-year-old golfer is splitting with longtime caddie Joe Greiner, just two months after the pair came together. When asked about his decision, Morikawa explained what "didn't feel right." "I think Joe is an amazing caddie," Morikawa said. "We were just a little bit on a different page. That doesn't mean it's right or wrong, but for me it just didn't feel right. I have to explore other options." Advertisement Brian Kirschner of Inside Sports Net noted the two-time major winner has been tinkering with many parts of his game. "Collin has spent the last three years tinkering with his caddy, putter, swing feels and glove on and off. Just truly incredible stuff, and I cannot think that hasn't had an impact on his play," said Kirschner.

He has not yet found a long-term replacement. At last week's Travelers Championship, Morikawa finished T42. Since starting the season with two top 10s and four top 20s, he has dealt with a bad streak of underwhelming finishes, including a T54 at the RBC Heritage, a missed cut at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and a T50 at the PGA Championship.
