PGA Tour Mayakoba Golf Classic tee times https://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/mayakoba-golf-classic/tee-times.html
Many won't remember any of Matt Kuchar's scores in winning this Mayakoba Golf Classic at this time last year, but they sure will remember how he was a cheapskate with his local caddie David Ortiz.
Kuchar won $1.3 million and paid his fill in caddie $5,000, after originally agreeing to pay him $4,000 whether he made the cut or not. Ortiz says he added "if you win 10% for me right?" to which Kuhar said "of course"
When the news came out that Ortiz did nor get his 10% ($130,000) Kuchar compounded his situation saying "$5000 is a big payday for a guy making $200 a day" which Ortiz thought was racial, unacceptable.
Finally bowing to public pressure, Kuchar apologized, saying he was hard headed and stubborn, and paid Ortiz $50,000, less than 5%.
Ortiz says he bought a used BMW and has been requested a lot more to caddy at the El Camaleon GC, the venue for this weeks event, where Kuchar defends his title.
There are 7 Canadians in the field, Ben Silverman who Monday qualified, Nick Taylor, Roger Sloan, Mac Hughes, David Hearn, Graham Delaet and Michael Gligic.
