It’s always shocking when the partnership between a golfer and their caddie derails. Collin Morikawa and his longtime caddie J.J. Jakovac, have parted ways after 6 years of partnership, marking a significant change for the golfer. According to sources, Joe Greiner will be taking over as Morikawa’s caddie, starting next week at The Truist Championship. This development comes as a surprise to many, given the success Morikawa and Jakovac have had together, including two major championship wins.
The news was broken on the Gravy & The Sleeze show on Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio, with Colt Knost sharing the information. As Colt Knost noted, “I wasn’t totally sold that this actually did happen because it’s just, it’s so shocking to me, but I did just get confirmation… Collin Morikawa and J.J., his longtime caddy, have parted ways. And we now have Joe Greiner, who was not unemployed for very long, picking up the bag for Colin Morikawa.” The sudden split has raised questions about what led to the decision and how Morikawa and Greiner will work together moving forward. With Morikawa’s next tournament just around the corner, all eyes will be on the new partnership to see how they fare.
