Bryson DeChambeau was recently asked about the pay structure of his caddie. “So, depending on how you place like if you make the cut or if you miss the cut, you’re still paying a flat, flat rate,” said Bryson. “If you make the cut, finish top, I think my structures like 20 or something like that.

“And then it gets amped up. When I finish top 10, and then when I win, it’s 10%. Yeah, so if you win the FedEx thing, you win around 15 million, so they get 1.5 million. Yeah, they get one and a half million dollars.”
