Caddy Fires Weir

December 15, 2010

Mike Weir, it seems, has been fired by his caddy. Brennan Little is leaving the Masters’ winner to work as Sean O’Hair’s sherpa.

It is, surely, a business decision. A caddy typically gets ten to fifteen percent of a player’s earnings, and Weir has had precious little of those lately. To be fair, though, Weir has done very well by Little. With $27 million in career earnings for Weir, his caddy likely has cashed a couple of million worth of paychecks. Last year, though, Weir earned $560,000, meaning that under the ten percent rule, Little made $56,000. That’s above the median family income of $52,029, but he also has a lot of travel expenses.

Interesting business.
