The American Pro golfer Bubba Watson is one of the most imaginative players golf has seen & it takes a really strong caddie to hold on to the brilliance of the two-time winner of the Master. Unlike most players, Bubba sees the game in a way that is entirely his own, requiring his caddie to navigate and strategize with a different perspective.
Who is the caddie for Bubba Watson?
Gabe Sauer is currently Bubba Watson's caddie, having started during the QBE Shootout in December when Bubba played alongside Lexi Thomson, finishing in ninth place. Since Sauer took over as caddie, Bubba's performance has seen notable successes, including a second-place finish in the PIF Saudi International in February, where he was narrowly beaten by Harold Varner III.
Interestingly, Gabe Sauer's journey with Bubba began on a trial basis, as he previously ran Bubba's driving range at the Pensacola Golf Center. However, their working relationship has proven to be a strong and harmonious one, leading to Sauer now listing his job on "LinkedIn" as "Professional Caddie For Bubba Watson," suggesting that the position may have become more permanent.
Before Gabe Sauer, Bubba Watson had Ted Scott as his caddie since 2007. Ted was formerly Paul Azinger's caddie and remained with Bubba for an impressive 15 years, during which they achieved Masters victories, participated in Ryder Cup events, and secured multiple Tour victories. But the unstoppable duo decided to head different ways after 15 long years.
