Before his sabbatical, Joe LaCava was the caddie for Woods, but after his injury, the golfer let him go. However, while making his much-awaited comeback, Woods opted for his old friend and confidante, Rob McNamara to be his caddie.  I’ve got Rob this week; he’s seen me hit a few shots,” Woods said at the Hero World Challenge press conference. Things have not changed for the 15x major champion this weekend as well!

Continuing this golfer-caddie bond with McNamara, the 5x Masters champ has chosen him as his looper for this week’s event as well. As for Charlie, things have changed a bit. For at least one known event, the 14-year-old’s father caddied for him, along with playing the role of his mentor. But Woods Jr. has a new bagman as well for the PNC Championship.
