Official Caddying Story: Bill Doyle

The longtime CEO of PotashCorp (now Nutrien), Bill Doyle led the Canadian fertilizer conglomerate when it helped produce half of the world’s food. He now serves as the chairman of Georgetown University’s board of directors, where he and his wife, Kathy, have also established the Doyle Program for Engaging Difference. He supports other education-related causes like the Evans Scholars Foundation, the Big Shoulders Fund, and his other alma mater, Loyola Academy. But long before he became one of Harvard Business Review’s top-rated CEOs, Bill got his start as a caddie, along Chicago’s north shore. In his Official Caddying Story, he shares many insights about how golf has shaped his life, including stories about Arnold Palmer, Bill Murray, Martin Sheen, and his 50-year friendship with Fred Blesi.
