Olympic golf winners get medals, caddies don't. But Team USA Xander Schauffele gave his clubs-carrier a gold ring in 2021, only the golfers do. The caddie for Xander Schauffele received some gold that he considers just as valuable from the Tokyo Games.
Kaiser said he wasn't expecting anything until having lunch with the Schauffele family at the end of 2021. They presented him the ring that has the U.S. flag above the Olympic rings, with “United States” inscribed at the top, “Olympic Team” at the bottom and “Tokyo” on the side. The debate whether caddies should receive a medal first came up when golf returned to the Olympics in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, though the conversation has died since then.
