For the past few days, things have been nothing short of strange in the PGA Tour. After 13 long years, Tiger Woods and his caddie Joe LaCava finally parted away. While the news was upsetting many, another report regarding caddies signing a 6-figure deal stunned others.

However, the caddie is once again in the spotlight for signing a $100,000 deal with underwear brand SAXX along with three other PGA Tour caddies. Despite signing a mega deal, Bonnalie looks to further grow his earnings by carrying the bag for the only Billionaire golfer Tiger Woods.

The caddie used Matt Leblanc’s ‘Friends‘ character Joey to persuade the Hall of Famer golfer. He shared the ‘How you doin’?’ GIF of Joey from the Comedy sitcom while tweeting ‘Hey’ and tagging Woods. Though Tiger is set to miss most of the 2022-23 season after a successful Subtalar Fusion, rumors around his next caddie have already begun.
While most fans suggest Charlie Woods or Rob McNamara or even Woods’ former caddies such as Steve Williams and Mike Cowan to be back in the position, Gene Bonnalie has thrown himself into the conversation. Though the tweet may be considered banter from the caddie’s side, it is unclear what his golfer Dahmen thinks of the latest rumor. However, fans on the internet did have their say on the situation.

Some fans even felt worried about Bonnalie’s current client Joel Dahmen. However, one fan claimed to keep it secret between himself and Bonnalie and not let Dahmen not know about any of it.
Don’t worry. I will keep this between us. I won’t tell @Joel_Dahmen 😆 You’re awesome.
