Over the past year, Carson Hocevar has been steadily growing his presence in the top tier of motorsports. Driving the No. 77 for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series, he entered 2025 with momentum. His season has shown flashes of real promise, with nine top-10 finishes and an average finish of around 21.4 in his starts. Amid all this, he has seemingly been drawn into a rather unusual NASCAR golf crossover.

Word surfaced (initially on Reddit) that Hocevar is confirmed as a caddie at an upcoming event on the LPGA Tour. Now, if you thought NASCAR golf crossover was odd, you’re not alone: it’s fairly unconventional. The post suggests Hocevar will be on the bag (so to speak) for a golfer during an LPGA event, crossing over from a full-throttle motorsport environment to the precision world of pro golf.

What makes this news interesting is both the novelty and the symbolism: Carson Hocevar stepping into a support role outside his usual domain signals a willingness to expand his profile, maybe engage with different facets of the sporting world, and perhaps even show versatility off the track. It raises questions: Which LPGA event is it exactly? Which golfer will he caddie for? Is this a one-off promotional appearance, or the start of something greater (charity, brand building, cross-sport partnership)?

At this point, though, the details are thin. The Reddit thread surfaces the claim but lacks a corroborating official press release or statement from either Hocevar’s team or the LPGA-side event. Until one of the parties confirms, this remains more of an intriguing rumor/announcement than a fully fleshed-out story.

Given Carson Hocevar’s rising profile in NASCAR, this kind of crossover could help raise his visibility beyond the racetrack, perhaps into mainstream sports media or sponsorship channels. In short, Hocevar is riding a wave of momentum in the Cup Series, with signs of growth and capability. Then, unexpectedly, he’s linked to a role in the world of women’s professional golf. Whether this LPGA Tour caddie stint is a one-time foray or a stepping stone to more cross-sport engagements remains unknown, but it has gotten the fans talking.

Reddit roars with Carson Hocevar golf jabs

Fans on Reddit have hilarious reactions to the news of Carson Hocevar caddying on the LPGA Tour. “Watch him bring his Dale truck as the golf cart.” This joke riffs on the culture of the NASCAR Cup Series and Hocevar’s motorsport persona, imagining he’d show up at a golf outing with a full racing-truck vibe.

While there’s no actual evidence he plans to drive in a “Dale truck” (i.e., a nod to Dale Earnhardt style) on-site at the event, his inclusion in the Pro-Am at Pelican has been confirmed: he’ll serve as a celebrity caddie alongside pro golfers and other crossover athletes. So, while the “truck as golf cart” is playful exaggeration, the fan’s point underscores how a NASCAR driver showing up in a golf setting already generates tongue-in-cheek visuals.

“The LPGA is about to have its first caution.” In NASCAR parlance, a “caution” is a yellow-flag slowdown; the fan is humorously warning the LPGA Tour that bringing in a race driver might stir unexpected Formula 1-style antics.

While there is no formal warning or problem ahead of the event, it’s worth noting that when WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark participated last year at the same Pro-Am, there was a slightly hairy moment: she shanked a tee shot that veered toward spectators. The golf world smiled at that one, so the comment is metaphorically apt; yes, there’s some potential for the unexpected when crossover personalities show up.

“This is how you promote the personalities in NASCAR. Agreed; this is a great crossover.” Here, the fan nails it: Hocevar’s participation clearly functions as a cross-promotional strategy. NASCAR drivers appearing outside of races expands their brand, and when they appear at an LPGA Tour event, it brings motorsports fans into golf and vice versa.

The official announcement names him as a celebrity caddie at the Wednesday Pro-Am in Belleair, Fla., which will include Clark and other high-profile athletes. From the NASCAR side, this kind of crossover is exactly the kind of visibility teams and sponsors like. From the LPGA side, bringing in recognizable faces like Caitlin Clark and Carson Hocevar boosts the event’s reach. So yes, the comment stands up well.

“He is probably going to buy the golf course, seeing that he is buying up Facebook Marketplace.” This one leans into hyperbole. There’s no credible reporting that Hocevar is “buying up Facebook Marketplace” to acquire the Pelican Golf Club or any course. It’s more a fan’s tongue-in-cheek exaggeration of “he does everything big in NASCAR, maybe he’ll buy the course too.” There is no factual basis for it, so the comment is more colorful than literal.

“Get Stenhouse to be a guest caddie and then pair their two golfers together.” This comment is projecting a fun scenario: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. joins the crossover fun, perhaps caddying for another pro-golfer, and then the two drivers’ golfers get paired together.

At the moment, the official roster lists Hocevar, soccer legend Briana Scurry, and WNBA stars as celebrity caddies for the Wednesday Pro-Am group, including Clark. There’s no confirmation of Stenhouse being brought in, but the concept is entirely plausible within the marketing-minded “crossover celebrity” framework of the event.
