3x PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings takes on new role at the Q-School

3x PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings has become a caddie at the PGA Tour Q-school qualifying. Stallings last appeared at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where he couldn't complete the tournament and had to withdraw due to a left shoulder injury. Following that, he underwent left bicep and labrum surgeries.

The golfer is doing better presently and hopes to begin chipping in January and practice till April. By the next fall, he plans to return to the Tour. As he plans his professional career, Stallings also invested time in helping out the University of Tennessee golf program. He told Golfweek that the little detour was refreshing for him.

“I’ve been playing the Tour for the last 14 years so it’s been a nice break,” said Scott Stallings.

This week, Scott Stallings is caddying for Jake Hall, who's played at the Scott Stallings Junior Cup three times. Hall became one of the 11 golfers to advance to the final qualifying of the PGA Tour Q-school and has already earned 2025 Korn Ferry Tour status.

Hall explained his bond with Stallings as the latter will accompany the former for the qualifying tournament (via Golfweek).

“We’ve known each other since I was back in high school. I’ve spent a ton of time with him over the past four-five years just practicing and stuff…I’d say over the past two years our relationship got pretty tight. It didn’t take too much convincing to get him out here this week. So, I’m thankful he was willing to come,” Jake Hall.

Two days are left for the Q-school qualification and Stallings will accompany Hall through it.
