When PGA Tour players win, they typically pay their caddie 10 percent of their haul. But that's the norm for tournaments, not the season-long FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize.
So when Billy Horschel won the Tour Championship last September to clinch the FedEx Cup, his caddie Micah Fugitt wasn't sure how he might be rewarded for helping Horschel earn golf's biggest payday.
Horschel paid Fugitt like a standard win. That made Fugitt an instant millionaire, according to a report by Golfweek's Jim McCabe.*What did Fugitt feel when Horschel told him the good news?
"Shock, happiness, joy," said Fugitt. "You have such a wide range of emotions."
Horschel didn't just pay his looper, however. He left $10,000 for the locker room attendants at Tour Championship host East Lake G.C. He also gave a cut to others who have helped him along the way, including his family.*
Perhaps the magnitude surprised Fugitt, but not Horschel feeling compelled to give back to those who sacrificed for him:*“He’s always been great about showing gratitude to people like that.”
