Caddyshack to Corner Office
Recognizing the most accomplished people who once caddied and growing the game by assisting those following their path
As Seen In
Official Caddying Story: John Ashworth
The founder of Linksoul and previously the eponymous Ashworth, John Ashworth is an icon in the golf world. But he may also have one of the longest, most unique caddying careers of anyone to ever pack bags. First caddying for his father, he looped through high school and college before making his way onto the PGA Tour, on the bag for Mark Wiebe (pictured). Paying it forward, Ashworth continues to give back to the game in myriad ways, especially through the Goat Hill Caddy & Leadership Academy, which he modeled off of George Solich’s program in Colorado.
Official Caddying Story: Neil Jacobson
