The Masters gets underway on April 6, with golf fans able to watch the action live on Sky Sports. As the world’s top players compete for the famous green jacket, their caddies also stand to earn substantial sums.
Caddies typically receive a percentage of their player’s winnings. While exact figures are not disclosed, a victory at Augusta National would mean a significant payday for caddies like Harry Diamond, who works for Rory McIlroy.
The exact earnings depend on the final finishing position. However, with the Masters offering a prize fund of around $18 million, a caddie’s cut could amount to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Caddies are essential to a player’s success, providing course knowledge, club selection advice, and moral support. Their compensation reflects the high stakes of professional golf’s most prestigious events.
