The golf world is still burning in the aftermath of the rivalry between Tiger Woods’s longtime caddie, Joe LaCava, and Rory McIlroy. The duo got into a heated one-on-one altercation during the Ryder’s Cup. Ever since, the golf world has been filled with intrigue about what Tiger Woods stance is on the matter.

A recent update from the Northern Irish professional golfer has shed some light on the matter. Even though the duo has claimed that they straightened out their rough ends after the Ryder’s Cup, the future is still filled with concerns so far. One burning question remains: whether Joe LaCava will continue to be Tiger Woods’s caddie or not.

What’s the future for Tiger Woods and Joe LaCava?

The game of golf is incomplete without the crucial role played by caddies in making the performance of a golfer a success. Such has been the case with Tiger Woods and his long-time caddie, Joe LaCava. However, the recent tussle in which LaCava is involved with McIlroy has raised some eyebrows about the future of his relationship with Woods, since the latter has been friends with McIlroy for a long time now.

Rory McIlroy has shed light on the matter recently. He has talked about how Tiger Woods responded upon hearing the burning matter. His account has led to many assumptions. Even after months of the rift between the two, the golf world is still on fire due to its aftermath. The question remains: what is next for LaCava and Woods?

McIlroy said, “There was also three texts and two missed calls from Tiger, because they’re obviously still close. I sent him a quick message: ‘“It will be fine … long day … just want to go to bed.”

Tiger Woods surely conveyed his concerns to Rory McIlroy after his altercation. However, on the matter of LaCava caddying for Woods in the future, there has already been a decision long before the Ryder Cup. This is because LaCava has now switched to full-time caddying for Patrick Cantlay. Therefore, it is certain that he will not be seen caddying for Tiger Woods shortly when the legend makes a comeback into the game.
