WATCH: Life as a caddie isn’t easy for caddie families
By T.J. Auclair · November 2, 2018
There’s no denying that things have gotten better and far more lucrative for caddies over the years.
But even still, life on the road can be a grind and it can be tough on the family.
No one knows that better than Paul Tesori (Webb Simpson’s caddie) and his wife Michelle, who have a young son, Isaiah.

Paul had a recent stretch at the end of the 2017-18 PGA Tour where he was at home for just six days over a 63-day stretch.
Unlike the Tour players, caddies don’t have the luxury of being able to take their families on the road whenever they want.
Michael Collins, America’s Caddie, recently took a trip to the Tesori home in Ponte Vedra, Florida, and learned more about how being a successful PGA Tour caddie doesn’t necessarily mean everything about the job is 100 percent glamorous.
Omg …very very enlightening storyline. I’ve caddied on the PGA Tour(20 events) & LPGA tour full time in the 90’s . My wife and I have a 10-year-old son and I totally get it 👍☘️👱🏼⛳️👪🐕what a great piece !
Great piece ! I’ve been on tour 30 years and have 3 boys in their teens !
And all I have to say is …..”Thank you Jane for everything you do” .
