a friend of mine is a full time caddy for a good young player on tour. of course, deals are all different from guy to guy, but this is what he said the avg. is for full timers..... salary of 40-50k, top 20s = 3%, top10s = 5%, and wins = 10%. wether steve has a salary or not, my buddy doesnt know, but assumes he does and that it is twice the avg.
every shirt, hat, pair of shoes etc. steve wears, he gets paid to wear each week. his nike endorsement is more than a lot of avg. tour players get with their endorsment deals.
the guy makes serious bank, nobody knows for sure but the guestimations among other caddies is between 1.2 and 1.6 a yr. all of this had depended on how much money tiger makes and of course, how much bigger that purses are now as opposed to 8 yrs. ago when they first got together.
