Can the right caddie transform a golfer’s mental game? In a sport where millimeters can separate triumph from disaster, having the perfect voice in your ear might be as crucial as having the perfect swing. The relationship between player and caddie often goes beyond simply carrying clubs and reading greens—it can become the foundation for a player’s mental resilience, especially when faced with challenging moments on the course.
This delicate balance becomes even more intriguing when family dynamics enter the picture. When siblings join forces inside the ropes, the results can be unpredictable—either a recipe for disaster or the secret ingredient for success. For Lexi Thompson, it’s clearly the latter, as her brother Curtis has become her secret weapon at the Chevron Championship.
“I definitely do [move on from bad shots faster] with my brother Curtis on the bag. We have a bit more fun out there,” Thompson revealed during her post-round press conference of the Chevron Championship on Saturday. This simple statement speaks volumes about the transformation in Thompson’s approach to the mental side of her game—an aspect that has often been cited as her biggest challenge throughout her career.
