The flat fee varies, obviously, from player to player, with high-profile folk such as Steve 'Stevie' Williams (Tiger Woods), Jim 'Bones' Makay (Phil Mickelson) and their like in a league of their own. But for the rank and file, $1,000 per week is a good yardstick. And the normal percentage of winnings is '5-7-10.' That is, 5 percent for a made cut, 7 percent for a top 10 and 10 percent for a win. Remember, though, caddies pay all their own expenses, so these figures are 'gross,' not 'net.' And if the player takes the week off, so does the caddy. In other words, no play, no pay. Today, brothers Brent and Kip Henley caddied in the next-to-last group at the Stanford St. Jude Championship.They carried respectively for winner Woody Austin and 4th place finisher Brian Gay. Woody took home $1.08 million and Brian $288,000. Do the math, and I'm sure you'll agree... It was a pretty fair payday for the Brothers Henley. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
