DETROIT — The Collin Morikawa-Joe Greiner experiment is over.
Morikawa, who is scheduled to compete this week at the Rocket Classic, confirmed as much before teeing off in Wednesday’s pro-am. He has a friend on the bag filling in this week.

It’s unclear who Morikawa will have take over permanently going forward — “ask me anything you want in my press conference later. I’m with my pro-am partners now,” he said — but this week at Detroit Golf Club, he has KK Limbhasut, a former college teammate of Morikawa’s at California. Limbhasut is only on the bag this week, he confirmed to Golfweek, because he was six players out to get into the field at this week’s Memorial Health Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Limbhasut has made nine Korn Ferry Tour starts in 2025, playing with conditional status and making five cuts. He’s 159th on the points list.

Morikawa parted ways with J.J. Jakovac, the only caddie of his career in late April. Greiner split with Max Homa in late March and was an 11th-hour replacement on the bag for Justin Thomas at the Masters. The following week Thomas won the RBC Heritage with Greiner again filling in for the injured Matt Minister.
On April 29, it was announced Morikawa would have Greiner on his bag starting at the Truist Championship. Morikawa, 28, made all five cuts with Greiner as his caddie but hasn’t finished better than T-17 during that stretch. He started well at the Truist and the Memorial but faltered on the weekend. A T-50 at the PGA Championship and T-23 at the Masters were disappointing results for the No. 5-ranked player in the world. Morikawa finished T-42 last week at the Travelers Championship. He was seen considering a putter change as well on Monday.

Morikawa is the highest-ranked player in the field this week at the Rocket Classic, where he lost in a playoff in 2023 in his lone appearance at the event.
