Just saw this pop up and figured some people might be interested. Article says Tucker was with him in Detroit.

favicon.ico Breaking: Bryson DeChambeau’s caddie quits ahead of Rocket Mortgage Classic

Bryson DeChambeau will have a different caddie on the bag this week, and not by choice, as Tim Tucker has reportedly quit.

Eh, aside from the fact that anything in the Dechambeau orbit is under a microscope, I'm not sure this is particularly newsworthy. I have to imagine that Bryson is a pretty hard guy to caddy for, as he is likely one of the more hard-headed/self-assured guys out there. 

Perhaps there is something more explosive to the sudden decision, or perhaps they just had an honest conversation and decided the relationship had run it's course.

"Cobra equipment representative Ben Schomin confirmed to Golfweek that he will serve as DeChambeau’s caddie this week. Schomin’s only previous caddying experience on the PGA Tour was for former Golf Channel personality Holly Sonders."

Holly Sonders played on the PGA Tour?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Yeah I agree. Maybe within the tour it’s talked about. But for the vast majority of players I don’t know anything about their caddies nor do I care.

The Feud may get more fodder now, but it’s really not that newsworthy. It’s not Steve Williams and Tiger parting ways. It’s that Single Length Irons Guy and his weird approach to golf.

Rumor had it that they were laughing and joking yesterday. Today he quits. Rumor has it also that they went separate paths 4 years ago, too, so who knows. Maybe just one of those spats. Not that I'm a caddying type but, if'n I were, pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy caddying for Bryson. Hard enough just watching his swing on TV.

And also the pay rate!  On days where Bryson shoots over par, his caddie earns under minimum wage, when you account for how long each of Bryson's shots takes. ;-)

Don't recall where I read it, but someone said Tucker was one of the more analytical caddies out there and one of few to match Bryson on those kind of things.

I can only imagine how much of their  on course talk was pure bs.

It was having to get a wet bulb temperature and read psychometric charts for every shot that really did him in.😜

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
