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.

Caddy probably couldn't handle all the calculus and computations required. 

Keeping a straight face whilst doing it would be the challenge.

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.😜

And for the times you fail, just hope you're not in the camera shot.
