He should have thrown him the 15 thousand on top of his pay soon after the win. WeekiWater Feb 2019 #20

Sorry. I agree Kuchar's statement was shitty. But he's still probably right on this ... Whiskeytide Feb 2019 #22

I agree. But the 10% is still not owed. He should have tipped more, but not $130k. Whiskeytide Feb 2019 #33

I could argue that a local caddie might even be more valuable, because of their knowledge LongtimeAZDem Feb 2019 #35
