Steve Stricker has thrived on both the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions. On the PGA Tour, he claimed 12 victories, including the prestigious WGC-Match Play title and even reached a career-high world ranking of No. 2.
His most dominant year came in 2009, at the surprising age of 42, where he bagged three wins and nearly topped the money list. Since joining the PGA Tour Champions in 2017, Stricker hasn’t missed a beat. He’s already collected 10 wins, including four senior major victories. After a brief health hiatus, his return in 2022 was impressive, with victories at three major tournaments.
This Wisconsin native even captained the victorious US team at the Ryder Cup held in his home state. Known for his consistency and well-rounded skills, Stricker remains respected in the sport. While health may play a role, his recent resurgence suggests he has plenty more to offer on both the PGA Tour Champions and potentially even the PGA Tour itself.
Who is Steve Stricker’s caddie?
Steve Stricker is known for taking an unconventional approach to caddies, opting for a rotating cast of supporters by his side. Stricker selects caddies based on experience, course knowledge, and personal compatibility. This allows him to leverage the specific strengths of each individual caddie for a particular tournament. Unlike many golfers who rely on a single, experienced caddie, Stricker doesn’t have a permanent bagman. This approach offers flexibility and lets him choose who best suits the situation.
Stricker has a heartwarming history of including his family in his golfing journey. Nicki, his wife, has caddied for him on multiple occasions. This undoubtedly provides a familiar and supportive presence during tournaments
In a memorable moment at the 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, his teenage daughter, Izzi, stepped up as his caddie. This win, achieved with his child by his side, added a special layer to Stricker’s victory
