Who is Emiliano Grillo's Caddie?

Argentinian golfer Emiliano Grillo is a professional golfer who is currently ranked 41st in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) as of April 2024. He turned professional in 2011 and has competed on the PGA Tour. His first tournament was the 2012 Africa Open, where he placed tenth.

In February 2014, Grillo achieved his highest result in the European Tour by finishing second at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, just behind Stephen Gallacher.

In the 2015 season, he played on the Web.com Tour and won the Web.com Tour Championship by the end of the season, defeating Chez Reavie for a score of 266, under 14, by a single stroke.

The next season, he won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, and was still considered a rookie given that he played in not more than 10 events.

As of April 2024, he has played in 10 events, missing the cut in only the Masters Tournament. His best finish came at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he tied for seventh place with a score of 266, under 14.

Since joining the PGA Tour, he has played in 229 events, missing the cut in 60 events and winning only two events with six runner-ups, four third-place finishes, 15 top-5s and 34 top-10s.

Emiliano Grillo's Caddie

James Baker, one of the most seasoned caddies on the tour, has previously assisted Matthias Schwab. They began working together in 2021, but it's unclear, when and how they separated. Since 2007, Baker has worked as a caddy for players including David Horsey, Simon Dyson, Jamie Donaldson, Lee Westwood, and Martin Kaymer.

During his career, he has won a World Cup and the Seve Trophy, and his biggest success came alongside Westwood at the 2020 Abu Dhabi Championship. Baker is a passionate Manchester United supporter and attends their games when he is not caddying.

Baker is also a member of The Tour Experience, a company with more than 40 European Tour caddies on staff. They offer advice on how to think better while playing golf and working as caddies, of course.

Grillo earlier worked with Tim Butler, who was born in New Zealand and worked with David Lingmerth before teaming up with Grillo. He had an impressive season during the 2015 Memorial Tournament. Before Grillo, Butler worked with Phil Tataurangi, a New Zealand-born professional golfer. He had a comfortable life in New Zealand with a successful career and a lovely house, but he was bored and desired a change. That's when Phil Tataurangi stepped in and offered him the position.
