...after earning $1.2 million on tour? ftw.usatoday.com/2019/02/matt-kuchar-caddie-mayakoba-5kContrary to this article, I don't think $5000 for a week's work is "embarrassing." You're telling me that if someone gave you 5 grand for handing them some golf clubs over a few days, you'd be outraged?  |

You're right, getting $5000 for a week's worth of work ain't bad, but c'mon....
You give a waitress at a Dennys at least a 10% tip, 20% if she's got nice tits, you can give a temp caddie who helped you win 1.2 million bones a bit more than $5000.

Not sure you have much understanding of what a top class caddie does if you think he just hands over some golf clubs. |

Normal caddie fee is 10% of the winnings. At that his replacement caddie should have gotten $120,000. I'm really disappointed in Kooch, who I've always liked and thought of as one of the good guys on tour. I hope there's more to this story.

This guy was a temp caddie filling in for a week, and they had a pre-arranged agreement as to the salary beforehand. This salary was apparently fine with both parties initially. Who is a caddie to turn his nose up at $5000?

Who is a caddie to turn his nose up at $5000? No one's questioning the salary. They are questioning his decision to keep 100% of his victory winnings. The caddy ended up with 0.38% of that amount. |

So basically you're complaining that Kuchar didn't tip well. Tipping is optional, and maybe the caddie did a lousy job? |

If caddies had a Union this would’ve never happened.

Besides, what the hell is $50,000 to a rich guy like Kooch? Before long he'll be lumped in with other notorious bad tippers....like liberals and Hollywood personalities.

Because when rich conservatives are crappy tippers - or pay to lobby against raising the minimum wage, or cut employee hours at Walmart to make sure they have no health coverage - the general public doesn't know who the hell they are, so it's not going to be spread across social media. |
