After it was made an issue. Kuchar should have cut him a check for $25K
immediately. Probably more actually. It's a cheap move. He wins a million bucks and pays his guy 5 grand?? Give me a break.

Thoughts on Kuchar stiffing the local caddie after his tourney win last month?

He offered the caddie $15,000 more that he turned down, so???

Kind of a slap in the face offer when winners traditionally pay 10% though.

For Tour caddie's yes, not locals who already agreed to a specific number.

And yet the non-tour caddie local got him the win.

Who knows. Hard to give the caddie 100% credit for a win.

That is why 10% is the traditional fee

even with that, he would be woefully underpaying compared to the standard

Those local caddies make $100 a day normally. So he well overpayed compared to the standard at that course in Mexico.

There is a reason there is such an uproar over this in the golf community.

Lame. I've never loved the guy. Now I don't care for him at all.

Apparently Kuchar and the caddie had an agreement on the amount before the tourney started.

I believe it's been talked about on both the No Laying Up and Foreplay golf podcasts. Don't know the specific episodes.

$50k would have been fair, Kuchar would have paid his tour caddie around $130k, so $50k for a local caddie is fair.
