Who is Blades Brown’s caddie?
Blades Brown holds an extremely exceptional resume as an amateur golfer. But when he joined the PGA Tour this season, he needed someone with experience whom he could rely on through his journey by his side. So he stuck with his existing caddie, Jack Bethmann, who had been with him since 2023.
Bethmann has seen Brown dominate the U.S. Amateur in 2023, win the AJGA Junior, capture the Junior Presidents Cup with Team U.S. in 2024, and be crowned the world #1 as well. But that was not all that the veteran caddie had to show.
He also came with a lot of experience working for a number of former professional golfers. Bethamann has caddied for the likes of Max McGreevy and Ryan Moore, and also worked as an assistant coach. Moreover, the 44-year-old has also played in seven Korn Ferry Tour events himself.
