Tiger Woods is making his highly anticipated return to competitive golf, and the golf world is abuzz with excitement. Fans are eager to see him tee it up at the Hero World Challenge at the end of November, and many are wondering who will be on his bag for the tournament.
One unexpected but intriguing option is Tiger’s son, Charlie Woods. Tiger recently caddied for Charlie at a junior tournament, so it would only be fair for Charlie to return the favor. While it would be an unprecedented sight to see a father-son partnership in a competitive golf environment, it is worth noting that Charlie is only 14 years old and may not be physically ready to carry a Tour bag for his dad.
Another potential candidate is Joe LaCava, who has a long history with Tiger. The veteran caddie famously worked with Tiger during his historic victory at the 2019 Masters. Reports have surfaced that LaCava informed Golf Channel that Woods has been working hard in Florida, hinting that he could be preparing for his return to competitive play.
If Joe LaCava is unavailable, his son, Joseph LaCava Jr, could step in. LaCava Jr is a professional caddie in his own right and has already achieved success on the PGA Tour Champions. He has also caddied for Charlie Woods at the PNC Championship and is familiar with Tiger’s game.
While these are the primary contenders for Tiger’s caddie at the Hero World Challenge, other options have been suggested, including professional players offering their services. Pablo Larrazabal even took to Twitter to express his availability to caddie for Woods. The golf world eagerly awaits the announcement of who will be on Tiger’s bag for his return to competitive golf.
