PGA TOUR Champions is the most familial of professional golf tours.
It has smaller fields. It plays fewer events so it’s mostly all of the same guys in the field. And they are players who, with a handful of exceptions, have known each other and dueled in the sun for decades.
It’s the caddies, too, not necessarily the most recognizable of names, but faces golf fans have seen on their TV screens for 20 or even 30 years.
The COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to all of it. And it’s hitting caddies pretty hard in the wallet.
Martin Courtois, the bagman for four-time Champions Tour winner Rocco Mediate, decided he should try and raise some money for his fellow out-of-work caddies.
