Tiger Woods’ Caddie Reveals Who Takes the Blame After a Missed Cut

Tiger Woods’ longtime caddie, Joe LaCava, was recently on an episode of “The Dan Patrick Show” where he discussed various things about his experience with the golf ace. The two talked about how things have been for LaCava working with the 15-time major champion. But their conversation interestingly reached a point where Patrick asked LaCava about who takes the blame if Tiger Woods misses a cut.

LaCava had a very interesting answer to the question. 

LaCava reveals who takes the blame when Woods misses a cut.

Woods’ old friend and caddie said that he had no experience of playing golf. He said, “I’m the first guy to say I’ve never had a chip, I’ve never made a putt, I’ve never had to drive.” He added that since he hasn’t done any of these things, the credit goes to the player, who in this case is Tiger Woods.

“However,” he added, “when things go bad or south, we miss the cut. I’ll go over and over and over the stuff that happened… I always put more of the blame on myself. ” He said that he, as a caddie, feels “awful” when the player misses the cut and thinks there’s nothing worse than that.

He also referred to an incident where he was Fred Couples’ caddie in the 90s and made a mistake. The caddie mentioned how he and Couples were trying to come to an agreement about choosing between the seven and eight iron. LaCava talked him into choosing the seven iron, but unfortunately, Couples hit the ball into the back bunker.

“It always goes with the caddies. When you make a mistake, they can never get the ball up and down,” LaCava said. He also told Patrick how the feeling still haunts him by saying, “That was in the middle 90s, and I think about that every day.”

LaCava talks about Tiger Woods’ return to the field.

The caddie also spoke a few words about Woods returning to the field. He said that he hoped Woods would play at least three to four events before the Masters next April. He might also appear in the Hero World Challenge in December. Later he could also be a part of the PNC Championship alongside his son, Charlie. Everything hinges on how fit Woods is to return to the field and how well he manages his injured leg.
