Collin Morikawa isn’t afraid of a change. After a whirlwind few months with caddie Joe Greiner, the world No. 5 golfer has decided to shake things up again. Their partnership, which started in April after Morikawa parted ways with long-time caddie JJ Jakovac, didn’t quite live up to expectations. During their time together, Morikawa made all five cuts with Greiner, but the partnership didn’t yield the desired results.

Despite starting strong at the 2025 Truist Championship and the Memorial, Morikawa faltered on the weekends, finishing T-50 at the PGA Championship and T-23 at the Masters. The details of Morikawa’s time with Greiner paint a picture of a partnership that showed promise but ultimately didn’t pan out. Morikawa’s best finish with Greiner was T-17, and he ended up T-42 at the Travelers Championship.

Morikawa himself confirmed the split to Golfweek, marking another change in his caddie lineup. This development raises questions about what Morikawa is looking for in a caddie and whether he’ll find the right fit with his next partner. This week, Morikawa will tee off at the Rocket Classic with KK Limbhasut, a former college teammate from California, on his bag.

Limbhasut is just filling in for this tournament, having made nine Korn Ferry Tour starts in 2025 with conditional status. As the highest-ranked player in the field, Morikawa will be looking to bounce back after losing in a playoff at the Rocket Classic in 2023.

Although with his caddie situation still up in the air, Morikawa’s got his work cut out for him. But for now, he’ll be focusing on Limbhasut, and so will we!
