Adam Scott replaces Steve Williams with Mike Kerr on full-time basis
Adam Scott has found his man.
Scott has selected Mike Kerr to take over as his caddie heading into 2015. Kerr, who had been working with up-and-coming Dane Thorbjorn Olesen, will take over permanent looping duties from Steve Williams, who had made it known he would retire as a full-time caddie at the end of this season. When Scott couldn't convince the Kiwi caddie to continue working for him year-round, Scott cut ties with Williams and began the search for a new caddie.
The Aussie said some 100 people inquired about his bag, one of the most lucrative in the sport. Making the job more attractive is that Scott doesn't play an exhausting schedule, preferring to focus on big events, like the majors and World Golf Championships, as well as committing to the end-of-year events in his home country.
Kerr has a solid resume as a caddie, also working for Lee Westwood and Ernie Els in the past. The Zimbabwean caddie will have plenty of time to prepare for his first week with Scott. Scott will be a father for the first time in February and isn't expected to start his 2015 until the Honda Classic, which starts February 26.
