After splitting up with his former caddie, Matt Minister, Cantlay has now decided to give LaCava a chance. “When I reached out to Joe, he said it was possible and ended up working out and I’m really happy about it,” the golfer said, in the Wednesday press conference at the Wells Fargo Championship this week.
Patrick Cantlay said he did *not* speak to Tiger Woods before reaching out to Joe LaCava about caddieing for him.
However, that was not the most surprising thing. What followed was even more unexpected. Cantlay added that he did not speak to Woods at all before poaching his caddie! This, of course, didn’t sit well with the golf fans.
Fans react to Cantlay’s unforeseen caddie switch
No matter how Woods has performed in his recent tournaments, he is still adored by millions of his fans around the world. And they are pretty unhappy about Cantlay’s decision to allegedly take LaCava from Woods without informing him. Ever since the news went viral on Twitter, fans have been giving all kinds of reactions to it. Here’s what some of them had to say:

Slow playing it…
Imagine not calling the GOAT to ask about poaching his caddy. Seems like something almost everyone would do out of respect.
That’s bold, maybe he’s still trying to find his footing before he reaches out. He’s not quick to take his shot
He tried dialing Tiger's number but he took so long his phone died
Another reason not to like Cantlay
Everyday Cantlay just thickens the Villian plot
