In response to ""Matt Kuchar to apologize to caddie, pay him full $50,000"" by David

I @Skechers several times about this one, as they sponsor him. He's still getting off cheap considering a win usually tips a caddie 10% so 130,000.

Fuck that guy!!! I used to like Kuchar, but he is doing this kicking and screaming, so he lost any good will with me. Had it been 10% I might have thought a bit different.

He's a douche bag!

To be fair, I'm not sure that's the going rate for a temporary caddie like this, but yes, he was grossly underpaying him. -- nm - pmb Feb 15, 14:29 3
- He called the caddie his"good luck charm" helping him get his first win in over four years. 50k at the time is no story and still cheap - Bacon Feb 15, 14:36 2
  - Totally agree. It was extremely stupid. -- nm - pmb Feb 15, 14:38 1
    - Yep yep yep -- nm - Bacon Feb 15, 14:39
Yeah, at this point, he should have paid more. As far as acts of contrition go, it's the very least he can do. -- nm - David Feb 15, 14:17 6
- I know he had a PR agent because I just finished reading the apology. He should have chipped off the 10% and made this go away for him and his - Bacon Feb 15, 14:22 5
  - I follow Steve Elkington on Twitter and Elk has been ripping this dude over and over. I am guessing he still will. -- nm - Bacon Feb 15, 14:23 4
    - On PTI, Wilbon indicated that other pros were absolutely mortified by Kuchar's behavior. This won't help him in the clubhouse. -- nm - David Feb 15, 14:27 3
      - Yeah, I'm sure guys like Patrick Reed care. -- nm - Strongbad, Astronauts Champion Feb 15, 14:33 1
        
        I care -- nm - Luke Skywalker Feb 15, 14:40
      - Agree -- nm - Bacon Feb 15, 14:27
