Matt Kuchar Defends Paying Caddie $5K: ‘Can’t Make Everybody Happy’

What’s a great quarterback without his offensive line blocking for him, a great scorer in basketball without the point guard to set them up? And what’s a golfer without his caddie?

Kuchar Defends Pay To Caddie

Matt Kuchar had won the Mayakoba Classic back in November and received a $1.296 million check. However, he only payed caddie David Giral Ortiz $5,000 out of his pot.

Kuchar responded by saying: “It’s done. Listen, I feel like I was fair and good.”

Kuchar later confirmed to GolfChannel.com that he and Ortiz had originally agreed to a $3,000 fee for the week with a bonus amount that could up that total to $4,000. After the win, Kuchar confirmed he paid Ortiz $5,000 and also offered him an additional $15,000, which the caddie turned down.
