Ricky and Brooks go back a long way. They even played golf together in South Florida. But both chose different paths in their professional journey. The 33-year-old turned professional golfer in 2012, and Elliott became his bagman a year later. Since then, the duo has been together at all the events. 

In addition to this, the caddie of the five-time major winner, also said, “I don’t think he understands me all the time which is a good thing”. He is probably suggesting that not being understood at times may have helped Koepka in his game.
