What it takes to be a PGA Tour Caddie!! How to become a Pro Caddie?
In this video, Coach Shayain interviews Quinn, a caddy on the DP World Tour, to learn about how to become a caddy. Quinn mentions that there is a caddy academy in Paris that trains caddies to become tour caddies. However, he personally learned on the fly due to his background in golf. There is no specific school in North America for caddies. To become a caddie, one needs to network and put themselves out there, as caddying requires being ready to travel at short notice. Quinn mentions that he is away from home for about 25 weeks a year on average. The downtime for caddies is typically in November, December, January, and February. During the off-season, caddies may stay engaged with their players or get poached by other players. Quinn also discusses the high turnover in the caddy profession and the need for caddies to have a clear mind and work at the highest level for their players. He mentions that the three rules of caddying are to show up, keep up with the pace of play, and shut up unless spoken to. The video concludes with a mention of upcoming episodes on caddy pay and the items caddies carry in their bags.
