Rory Mcllroy gives his Caddie a $1,000,000 Cut
?Rory Mcllroy's 2016 may have started slow, but thanks a pair of wins in September including a win in the Tour Championship which netted a nice $10,000,000 FedEx Cup bonus, Mcllroy has had one of his best years financially since becoming a pro.
His caddie J.P. Fitzgerald is thankful for the lucrative year Mcllroy has had. Most caddies earn 10% of a player's winnings. However that doesn't apply to FedEx Cup earnings. Mcllroy gave Fitzgerald a $1,000,000 cut of his earnings at East Lake.
Via ASAP Sports:
“I knew [the FedEx Cup deposit] was there when JP, my caddie gave me a text and said thanks, and I think his words were, ‘A tsunami just hit my bank account, so thank you very much.’”
So does anyone know where I sign up to be Rory Mcllroy's caddie?
