Collin Morikawa is on the verge of carrying his own bag at a PGA Tour tournament.
Okay, maybe it won’t come to that, but the truth is, he is having an increasingly difficult time finding a caddie.
The two-time major champion went from JJ Jakovac, a seasoned caddie who had accompanied him to all of his professional victories to date, to having to entrust his bag to a former college teammate for a weekend because he fired Joe Greiner after only five tournaments.
Not looking good. At all.

Morikawa justified his decision by saying that his relationship with Joe Greiner did not work out as he had hoped.
“The way I put it is just because two people are great at what they do doesn’t mean they’re going to be great together,” he said.
“I think Joe is an amazing caddie, but just the way we kind of saw things, or just day to day, how we went about it, we were a little bit on a different page. That doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong, but for me it just didn’t feel right.”
Morikawa’s caddie at the Rocket Classic will be KK Limbhasut, a former teammate from the University of California-Berkeley. However, according to Golfweek, they made it clear that this is a one-time deal, as Limbhasut has no intention of abandoning his professional golf career.
Limbhasut currently plays on the Korn Ferry Tour, where he has made five cuts in nine tournaments this season.
Collin Morikawa fired JJ Jakovac in April after the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The two had worked together since the beginning of Morikawa’s professional career, during which the PGA Tour star achieved six victories, including two major championships.
The 28-year-old then hired Greiner, who had just finished taking care of Max Homa’s bag for six years.
Greiner debuted with Morikawa at the Truist Championship but lasted only five tournaments.
Although Morikawa made the cut in all of these tournaments, he is clearly not happy with his results. He finished T17 at the Truist Championship, T50 at the PGA Championship, T20 at the Memorial Tournament, T23 at the U.S. Open, and T42 at the Travelers Championship.
