Who is Jon Rahm's caddie? All about The Masters winning bagman explored
Jon Rahm triumphed over Augusta National with his four-stroke win over Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson at the 2023 Masters. It was the second major win of his career.
A caddie has an important role to play in any golfer's success. Sometimes he does more than just carry the player's bag, acting more like an advisor, using his experience to make the strategy of the game.
Adam Hayes carried Rahm's bag during the 2023 Masters. He and Rahm have been together since the September 2016 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Country Club.
Hayes completed his education at the University of Central Florida and then started caddying on the LPGA Tour. Since then, he has caddied Webb Simpson, Russell Henley, Vaughan Taylor, Jason Dufner, and Ben Crane on the PGA Tour.
The Hayes-Rahm duo's first victory came at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. When they both started working together in 2016, the Spaniard was World No. 126. Since then, he has ascended to World No. 1 several times and won 10 titles on the PGA Tour, including two majors.
