Caddie 'Anger' on the PGA Tour

[Dogfish Head]

Caddie bibs like these sparked a $50 million lawsuit.​

A GROUP OF 80-PLUS CADDIES has sued the PGA Tour for unpaid endorsement fees.

GolfChannel.com's Rex Hoggard reported:

The lawsuit, which was filed in San Francisco, stems from the Tour’s unwillingness to negotiate a settlement with the caddies, who claim they are made to wear logo-covered bibs without receiving any proceeds from contracts that lawyers for the caddies estimate is valued at $50 million annually.
"There was a lot of optimism we could get something worked out with the Tour," said Houston-based Gene Egdorf, the attorney for the caddies.
"As of a couple months ago the caddies were told they weren't going to get any more money for retirement and health insurance. There's never been a belief the Tour is negotiating in good faith ... There is a lot of anger out there now."​

Caddies taking part in the suit include Mike Hicks, Kenny Harms (Kevin Na), Paul Tesori (Webb Simpson), Jimmy Johnson (Steve Stricker), Damon Green (Zach Johnson) and James Edmondson (Ryan Palmer).
