Okay, so, let’s talk about this whole Tiger Woods and Lance Bennett caddie situation. I’ve been following this for a bit now, and here’s my take on what went down.

First off, I started hearing some rumors. People were saying that Tiger Woods needed a new caddie for the Genesis Invitational. I was like, “What? Why?” So, I started digging into it.
Digging for Information
- First, I checked out some golf news sites. Nothing concrete, just speculation.
- Then, I scrolled through social media, like Twitter and some golf forums. People were talking, but still, nothing was confirmed.
- Finally, I hit up the official Genesis Invitational website. And boom! There it was.
I found out that, yeah, Tiger Woods was actually going to have Lance Bennett as his caddie for the tournament. This was big news! I mean, Bennett’s a veteran, been in the game for over 20 years, it’s not like Tiger picked some random guy off the street.
Making Connections
So, I started piecing things together. Bennett’s been around, he’s caddied for some big names. But the interesting part was that this was only going to be the second time he was working with Tiger. The first time was just a little while ago, at the Masters. It seems like Tiger was really impressed and decided to bring him back. I thought it could mean the two had good chemistry. It might work!
I dove deeper into Bennett’s history. Apparently, he used to work with Matt Kuchar for a long time, and more recently with Sungjae Im and Davis Riley. This guy’s got experience with top players, which I think is crucial for someone like Tiger. He’s no longer a green-hand caddie.
Observing and Analyzing
I watched some footage of Tiger and Bennett together during the practice rounds. They seemed to have a good rapport, talking strategy, and all that. And I saw it with my own eyes on a Tuesday morning.

Then I read Tiger’s explanation for choosing Bennett. He said something about needing an experienced caddie for a “real tournament” like the Genesis. It made sense to me. Tiger’s not just playing for fun, he’s aiming to win. He would never pick up a man with less experience.
Putting it All Together
So, here’s what I concluded. Tiger Woods needed a seasoned caddie, someone who could handle the pressure of a big tournament and help him strategize. He found that in Lance Bennett, a guy with a solid track record and experience with top-tier players. He is a good choice.
This whole thing got me thinking about how important the player-caddie relationship is. It’s not just about carrying the bag, it’s about teamwork, communication, and trust. I’m really curious to see how Tiger and Bennett perform together in the future. Also I read that Tiger’s caddie earns around $1,500 to $2,000, I’m really curious about how much he really gets.
Anyway, that’s my take on the Tiger Woods and Lance Bennett saga. It’s been an interesting story to follow, and I’m excited to see what happens next.
