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.


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.
