CBS Sports Report: Woods Hires Joe LaCava as Caddie

CBS Sports reported earlier today that Tiger Woods has hired Dustin Johnson’s caddie Joe LaCava as his new bag man. LaCava replaced Bobby Brown on Johnson’s bag this year after last year’s 72d hole debacle at the PGA Championship, and after a late tee time penalty this year. Woods fired long time bag ape Steve “Stevie” Williams after Williams moonlighted once to often – for Woods’s liking – with Adam Scott, who had a remarkable resurgence this year.

LaCava is only the third professional caddie for Woods in his career, the other being Fluff Cowan, now with Jim Furyk. woods did have friend Byron Bell loop for him on a few occasions including two dreadful weeks this August when woods missed the cut at the PGA and played poorly at the Bridgestone.
