  1. Are we serious? Rory has won 2 out of the last 4 tournaments including a signature event and the "fifth major" and his caddy is the problem? Im sorry but his shot on 16 par 3 was elite in that kind of wind. Look at what happened to Spaun. Should spauns caddy also be fired to then?

  2. Rory is too stubborn he’ll end his career on 4 majors which is better than everyone who will read this YouTube post. Norman won 2 majors in his career, less than Larry Nelson . The same amount as Andy North . Norman has spent more weeks as world number 1 than everyone since world rankings were created bar 1 person. However Faldo won 6 majors was he a better player than Norman according to majors he is. However Greg won way more tournaments than Nick was world number 1 a hell of a lot longer than Faldo. Rory in my opinion is Europe’s greatest ever golfer but unfortunately he’ll end his career with less majors than Koepka, Seve . He won’t change his caddy.

  3. I know that Fitzpatrick won the 2022 U.S. Open after he sped up his swing. But, has the faster backswing resulted in less consistency?

  4. Rory has by far the best CV of any male golfer in the last 15 years. Many people think they know what’s best for him. A player spends a lot of time with his caddy. He has to feel extremely comfortable with that person. Clearly Rory & Harry enjoy each other’s company & have been very successful together. None of us know the dynamic between player & caddie. There is never a mic on discussions between Rory & Harry, so we are not in a position to judge. Has Rory made some clubbing errors….of course. He is human. Show me a player who hasn’t made clubbing or other mental errors…doesn’t exist. It is a tribute to Rory that so many golf fans are very invested in him. Way more than any player on the planet. He is surrounded by a good team and this is reflected in Rory’s stellar playing in recent years. I for one am happy to let Rory & them figure out what is best for Rory.

  5. As good as Rory is., like all others he will be judged by how many Majors he wins. Will changing his caddy make a difference in that context?…….I guess time will tell🏌️

  6. So Rory & Harry have won at Pebble Beach & the TPC, 2 wins before April & this genius wants to kick Harry to the curb. Got it

  7. Furtunately,it's none of your business,Rory has been told before by other caddies,Rory does his own thing! The stupidity of these 2 fucking arseholes, suggesting they know better than Rory,is hilarious,fact is you don't,and never will! Rory will do things his own way, and should ignore the advice of these 2 clowns.
