Francesco Molinari, an Italian golfer, was born on November 8, 1982. He won the 2018 Open Championship, his first major victory, making him the first Italian professional golfer to win a major.

Together with Tiger Woods in the final round, Molinari won the tournament with a score of -8. His career-high ranking in the Official World Golf Ranking following the Open Championship victory was sixth.

Before winning the Open Championship, his remarkable season included victories in the 2018 BMW PGA Championship, his fifth on the European Tour, and the Quicken Loans National, his first on the PGA Tour. At the end of the year, Molinari earned 5 out of 5 points, aiding Europe in capturing the Ryder Cup.

With a final score of 276 on March 10, 2019, Francesco Molinari won the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes over England's Matt Fitzpatrick. He finished 12 strokes under par.

Since the end of 2008, Molinari has continuously been among the top 100 golfers in the world. He and his brother Edoardo took home the 2009 Omega Mission Hills World Cup, Italy's only triumph in the tournament. In addition, Molinari, the 2010 WGC-HSBC champion, has participated in three European Ryder Cup teams (2010, 2012, and 2018).

Francesco Molinari's Caddie

Currently, Francesco Molinari’s caddie is Pello Iguaran. With three triumphs, including a major victory at Carnoustie, two second-place finishes, and a major victory, the pair enjoyed an incredible 2018. The two went undefeated in the 2018 Ryder Cup.

Keeping Molinari relaxed and calm during the final round was Iguaran's major contribution to his overall achievement. "Putting was the key to this tournament victory; it was very consistent in times of great pressure, and with the wind, we opted to play short from the tee to avoid the bunkers, and it was difficult to leave it close," he said.

When the collaboration between Molinari and Iguaran ended at the time, Molinari announced it on Twitter, writing:

“It’s been nearly four seasons of incredible emotions and really productive work, but unfortunately, relationships sometimes come to an end, even if it’s not what we wish for. Pello will always be a member of my team and, more importantly, my family. He’s one of the most hardworking, loyal, positive, and reflective people I’ve come across during my career."

Molinari’s caddie for the 2021 season was Mark Fulcher. Fulcher, who caddied for Justin Rose for a whopping 11 years, brought a wealth of knowledge to the table.

Due to heart surgery, Fulcher temporarily ceased working with Rose, and after that, they permanently parted ways. Fulcher stated that he was going to concentrate on his health and well-being. We don't know why or when Molinari and Fulcher quit working together.

What is the net worth of Pello Iguaran?

Unfortunately, there is no information available regarding the net worth of Pello Iguaran. Though, usually caddies earn 10% to 5% of the winnings of the player.
