Tiger Woods’ long-time caddie Joe LaCava will be on the bag for Patrick Cantlay at the Wells Fargo Championship this week as Woods recovers from surgery.
According to the Golf Channel, LaCava is expected to be with Cantlay for ‘the foreseeable future’, with Woods giving the caddie his ‘blessing’.
Woods recently announced that he underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address post-traumatic arthritis from the injuries to his right foot that he sustained in a car accident two years ago.
The 15-time major winner withdrew from The Masters last month due to injury midway through his third round at Augusta National. It was just his second start of the year, and the 47-year-old is now facing another lengthy spell out of the game.
LaCava will replace Matt Minister, who has been caddie for world No 4 Cantlay since 2017. The pair have teamed up once before at the 2021 Northern Trust, with Minister missing that tournament due to Covid-19 and Woods still recovering from his car accident earlier that year.
