Keith Mitchell’s Caddie

Keith Mitchell, a 32-year-old PGA Tour golfer, was born on January 7, 1992. As an amateur, he played on the PGA Tour of Latinoamerica at the 2015 Brazil Open and finished in second place. He had a few more top-10 finishes and joined the Web.com Tour in 2017, simultaneously earning his PGA Tour card for the 2018 season.

The University of Georgia grad turned professional in 2018 and won his first professional win at the 2019 Honda Classic (now Cognizant Classic), defeating Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka by one stroke; however, this is his sole win as of June 2024. His best major finish was at the 2023 US Open, finishing tied for 20th place.

Who is Keith Mitchell’s caddie?

Keith Mitchell’s caddie is John Limanti as of June 2024.

Limanti has been a caddie for more than 15 years and has caddied for several PGA and LPGA golfers, though Adam Scott is the most notorious one. He also caddied for I.K. Kim, a golfer on the LPGA Tour, during her historic defeat at the 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship, when she failed to make a winning putt on the 72nd green.

Limanti has been Mitchell’s looper since 2022 and as a result, Mitchell finished the 2022 season with six top-10 finishes from 26 tournaments. Limanti aided him in attaining even more consistency in his game, which was pretty evident. That year, he only missed six cuts and finished in T3 at the CJ Cup, which was a season-best performance.

In 2018, Limanti discussed his career with The Caddie Network and shared that his best golf memory was a putt he made in his youth that eventually brought him to the attention of Chris Stroud, a PGA Tour professional with two wins and a T9 finish at the 2017 PGA Championship.

Prior to the 2013 Players Championship, a PGA Tour report stated that Limanti had previously undergone "serious neck surgery." The former college golfer entered the 2023 caddy competition on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass after fully recovering, but things did not go as planned. After the game, Limanti said, "I haven't played golf at all."

Keith Mitchell’s Previous Caddie

Kieth Mitchell has had only two caddies in his six-year professional career; the first was Pete Persolja, who is famously known as Crunchy Pete.

According to Golf Monthly, Persolja, who loves the outdoors and often sleeps outside beneath the stars, describes himself as the caddie version of British survival expert Bear Grylls.

But 'Crunchy Pete' Persolja declared on X in December 2021 that he and Mitchell would be splitting ways, even though he had supported Mitchell during his first-ever victory on the PGA Tour, the 2019 Honda Classic.
