Summary
Garrick Higgo’s caddie, Austin Gaugert, responded to being fired after Higgo missed his tee time at the PGA Championship, resulting in a two-stroke penalty. Gaugert took the high road, saying he “fell short” of expectations and crediting Higgo for showing “professionalism and class” in the situation. Higgo replaced Gaugert with Nick Cavendish-Pell for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Gaugert previously worked with other golfers, including Alex Noren, Patrick Rodgers, and Ryan Moore.
Our Reading
The caddie gets a new reputation.
Austin Gaugert took the blame for Garrick Higgo’s tardiness, but it’s clear who really dropped the ball. Gaugert’s classy response earned him some respect, but let’s be real, he’s still out of a job. Higgo’s two-stroke penalty was the real cost of being fashionably late. Gaugert’s next gig is already being speculated about, but one thing’s for sure: he won’t be working with Higgo anytime soon. The PGA Tour is all about timing, and Gaugert’s was just a minute off.
