Sahith Theegala Surprises Caddie With $50k Rolex After Career-Best Season
PGA Tour star Sahith Theegala gifted his caddie Carl Smith a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch worth approximately $50,000 after finishing third in the 2024 FedEx Cup standings and earning $8.5 million.
Smith has been Theegala's caddie since his rookie season in 2021-22, helping him secure wins at the QBE Shootout and Fortinet Championship. Their successful partnership has resulted in nearly $19 million in career earnings for Theegala.

In a touching video of the gift presentation, Smith was visibly moved, stating "Even if you didn't get me anything, and even if you just say, 'thank you,' it makes me want to show up and work harder every day."
Golfer and caddy fist bump
Theegala's generosity reflects his character, which was also evident at the Tour Championship when he showed remarkable honesty by self-reporting a two-shot penalty. His positive attitude is often attributed to his supportive parents, Karuna and Muralidhar, who are known for encouraging not just their son but other Tour players as well.
