Chilean professional golfer Guillermo "Mito" Pereira Hinke was born on March 31, 1995. He competes in the LIV Golf League. After turning pro in the second half of 2015, Pereira joined the 2016 PGA Tour Latinoamerica. There, he won the Roberto De Vicenzo Punta del Este Open Copa NEC and rose to the top of the Order of Merit to become the youngest golfer to ever hold that position.


Pereira finished the season ranked 3rd on the Order of Merit, gaining promotion to the 2017 Web.com Tour, where his best result was a T3 at the Nashville Golf Open. In addition to his triumph, he earned two runner-up finishes and four additional top-10 performances in 18 starts.


At the 2022 PGA Championship, Pereira had a three-shot lead but struggled, finishing at 6-under par. He missed a birdie putt and a bogey, resulting in a tie for third place with Justin Thomas.


Pereira earned a spot on the international team for the 2022 Presidents Cup. He participated in three games, losing two and tying one. It was revealed in February 2023 that Pereira had joined LIV Golf and would play for the Torque GC team alongside team leader Joaquin Niemann.


Recently, on August 6, 2023, Mito put up a spectacular performance at the Greenbrier event, finishing in second place with a final score of 193 and 17 strokes under par. He earned $2,250,000 in total for the tournament, of which $750,000 was earned individually.


Mito finished the Bedminster tournament on August 13, 2023, tied for 18th with a total score of 214, finishing the tournament at 1 stroke over par. He took home $240,000.


Mito Pereira's caddie

Mito Pereira’s seasoned caddy is Scott McGuineess, as of September 2023.


In 2022, Mito Pereira's first season on the PGA Tour and the year he came very close to winning the PGA Championship, he earned a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs. Sadly, the Chilean from Santiago finished in a tie for third after holding a three-shot lead going into the final round.


A long list of players, including John Mallinger, John Daly, Kyle Thompson, Matt Jones, Cam Percy, Conrad Shindler, Nick Flanagan, Chez Reavie, Jason Gore, Steve Bowditch, Billy Hurley, and John Huh, have worked with Scott McGuinness, an Australian caddy who hails from Manly.


The looper, who was at the 2020 Northern Trust caddying for Scottie Scheffler, stumbled awkwardly while attempting to gain a better perspective on the 9th green. Following the injury, the pair continued to play together for another year, during which time Scheffler earned top-20 results in all four majors and qualified for the Ryder Cup. However, they ceased collaboration in the latter half of 2021.


Following the separation, McGuinness, who considers Riviera to be the best course to caddy on, was assigned to Pereira's bag. His biggest achievement, according to him, was working on the bag with Flanagan. The Australian duo earned an automatic "battlefield promotion" to the PGA Tour in 2007 after taking three victories on the Korn Ferry Tour.


What is Scott McGuinness's net worth?

Scottie McGuinness's net worth is currently unknown. However, according to RookieRoad, a professional golfer's caddy often earns between $50,000 and $100,000 in addition to 5–10% of their player's winnings.
