“I believe he’s a high-level tour caddie.” PGA Tour pro Dylan Wu previously said for his brother. His younger brother Jeremy had been caddying for him since 2021. During an earlier interaction with Golf Digest, Wu explained that he didn’t like relying on his caddie, hence he had his brother Jeremy caddie for him. “Having my brother on the bag relieved stress because he kept things chill,” he said in 2023. Fast forward to the present; things have changed since Jeremy’s not on the bag anymore. “I miss yelling at him,” Wu joked recently, sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram.

Back in September 2024, Jeremy was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Since then, he hasn’t caddied for his brother. So, has this affected his performance? Well, unfortunately, he finished 132nd on the FedEx, outside of the Top 125, so yes, the performance was not exactly one of his best. But does this make him any disappointed? Not at all, as Wu puts it, “Lots of great experiences, and I’m hungry to get better and grind hard for next season with conditional Tour status.”

Since the diagnosis, Jeremy’s focus has understandably shifted to his health, as Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma is no small challenge, but Wu’s update gives hope. “He’s been doing well and getting healthy,” he shared. The brothers have always been a team, whether on the golf course or in life. Life, much like golf, isn’t always fair, but both Wus seem ready to take on whatever comes their way.

Looking ahead, Wu can’t wait for the day Jeremy is back on the bag. “I’m hoping we can be battling as a team together in Hawaii in January,” he wrote, hoping to have a positive start to the 2025 season. You can tell how much he’s looking forward to it, not just for the golf but for having Jeremy back where he belongs, right there with him.

For now, though, it’s all about patience. Wu’s grinding to make the most of his conditional Tour status next season, and Jeremy’s taking on his own battle. Because let’s face it—when Jeremy’s back on the bag, Wu won’t just get his caddie back. He’ll get his teammate and his biggest supporter.

Indeed, the bond between siblings is one that never fails to leave us feeling overwhelmed. And it’s not just the Wu brothers who’ve leaned on each other through life’s toughest battles.

The beautiful bond of siblings backing each other during the toughest battles

People have always been a constant source of support for their families, and that bond is timeless. But in the golf world, it’s the way players openly have each other’s backs that adds a special kind of beauty to their bond. Just like Wu, Richard Bland has shown how powerful the sibling bond can be, especially when life throws its toughest challenges at you. For Bland, his 2021 victory at the Betfred British Masters, which earned him a spot in the 2024 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, wasn’t just about the golf. It was about his brother, Heath, who had been fighting a battle for his life just a few years earlier.

Back in 2017, Heath Bland was hit hard by a sudden illness that doctors initially thought was the flu. Things took a serious turn when his heart stopped for a few seconds, and he was placed in a coma for six weeks. Bland, understandably, struggled to focus on golf during that time, and it showed in his performance. “I just wasn’t at the races,” he admitted. But even when it seemed like his career might be over, Bland never gave up. He worked hard, got his card back, and slowly but surely, things turned around.

When Bland finally won his first senior major championship, it was an emotional moment—not just for him, but for Heath too. “I just wanted to win for him so bad,” he said.

It’s not just Bland who’s seen the impact of family support on the course. Dylan Wu, too, has experienced the power of having his brother by his side. Though their journey has been different, the two siblings share a deep bond that’s been a source of strength through tough times. Whether it’s through health challenges or career setbacks, having someone who truly understands you can make all the difference.
