. His playing schedule was already extremely limited due to his car crash in Southern California in 2021. It's unlikely that Woods will be able to compete at any of the remaining major championships this year while he recovers.

But before he agreed to join Cantlay, LaCava made sure to call Woods and get his blessing.."Of course, Tiger gave it. Tiger and Joe are like brothers, tremendous friends.

Cantlay, who has climbed to No. 4 in the Official World Golf Rankings, is searching for his ninth career PGA Tour win this week at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina. He’s finished no worse than T19 in his last seven starts, took third at the RBC Heritage and finished T14 at the Masters. "The thing about Joe is he's as loyal as loyal gets," Justin Thomas said of LaCava on Tuesday."The amount of time that he's spent at home when guys would, I mean, there's so many guys out here that would have him caddie in an instant.
