Who Is Jon Rahm’s Caddie?
One of the best players in the world, Jon Rahm is set to make his Ryder Cup debut later this month after qualifying in the eight automatic spots for the European team. In the 2018 season he has had two wins, at the Career Builder Challenge along with the Open de Espana, to book his place in Paris. Given the past success of pairing Spaniards together, it wouldn’t be shocking to see him paired with Sergio Garcia either.
But who actually caddies for the fiery Spaniard? We take a look.
