Jordan Spieth’s trusted caddie and mate Michael Greller will be on the greens at The Sentry, looping for PGA Tour competitor Max Homa. The 2025 PGA Tour is teeing off this Thursday at Kapalua Plantation Course with The Sentry, but three-time major champ Spieth won’t be hitting the fairways in the season opener.
He’s still on the mend from wrist surgery after a mishap with his son Sammy led to an injury to his left hand. Spieth had tried to sidestep the surgeon’s knife with some rest and recuperation, but his condition took a turn for the worse during the 2024 season when a tendon in his wrist “popped out” mid-play, forcing the 31-year-old into surgery. This has put him out of play and looked to bench his caddie too.
But, as Sean Martin reports on X, Greller will be at The Sentry carrying the bag for Homa as a stand-in. A fan account dedicated to Spieth, known as Spieth Legion, also spread the word on X, stating: “Michael Greller has a new bag this week. He’s caddying for Max Homa at The Sentry. It’s just temporary. Greller’s boss, Jordan Spieth, isn’t in the field, and Homa needed a temporary fill-in. His longtime caddie, Joe Greiner, is expected to return later in the West Coast swing.”
Greller has been by Spieth’s side for 13 years since the ex-world No. 1 went pro. Their partnership dates back to the US Junior Amateur, with Greller originally taking a sabbatical from teaching to caddie for Spieth. .
Spieth and Greller have enjoyed a fruitful partnership over the years, with Spieth claiming the Masters and US Open titles in 2015, followed by The Open in 2017. However, Greller’s approach has raised eyebrows, as the duo often engage in lengthy discussions before Spieth takes his shot.
