Hall of Fame Caddie Joe LaCava visits with Says Who Sports to discuss highlights from his three-plus decades on the PGA Tour and working with the game’s greats, from twenty years on the bag with Fred Couples, including a win at the 1992 Masters, to ten years with Tiger Woods, including Tiger’s improbable 2019 Masters win. Considered perhaps the greatest caddie ever, LaCava nonetheless maintains a humility and gratitude for his journey that fuels his drive for continued success. LaCava shares the story of how he landed his first high-profile job with Couples, what he learned from Freddie about golf and life, his “unique” steakhouse dining experience with Tiger early in their relationship, the emotional moments he shared with Woods on the 18th green at Augusta following Tiger’s win in ’19, the unconventional way LaCava celebrated the win that night, why he is uncomfortable with the acclaim he has received, his words to young caddies about what it takes to reach the pinnacle of the sport, his special experience as a kid with his father at a Knicks game in Madison Square Garden in the Seventies, his undefeated record at multiple Super Bowls as a fan rooting on his beloved New York Giants, golfing with LT, Derek Jeter and numerous other sports legends, and much more.
