Recently, Patrick Cantlay [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-cantlay/]?made headlines for his sluggish performance at the 2023 Masters. But going beyond that, the American pro golfer recently found himself at the center of a debate over a significant professional choice. The controversy surrounding Cantlay focused on his decision to recruit Joe LaCava, Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/]‘ longtime caddy. This significant choice thrust World number four into yet another controversy. Prior to snatching the legendary golfer’s caddy, he had no contact with the 47-year-old Hall of Famer. However, following the first day of the Wells Fargo Championship, things appear to be going quite well for the new duo. Cantlay discusses the influence his caddy has had on him in light of the new collaboration. PATRICK CANTLAY TALKS ABOUT JOE LACAVA’S INFLUENCE ON HIM After their first formal match, the pair had to be happy. The nine-time PGA Tour champion opened the 20th Wells Fargo Championship with a score of 67. The major news, though, is not even the first-day score. The fact that the seasoned caddie appears to be having an effect on the 31-year-old is what matters most.
