Think you could do a better job as Rory McIlroy’s caddie than Harry Diamond? Now’s your chance to prove it.
World No. 3 McIlroy is giving one lucky winner the opportunity to caddie for him at the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Championship. This tournament, held from August 15-18 at TPC Southwind in Tennessee, is the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and features the top-70 players in the FedEx Cup rankings after the Wyndham Championship.
McIlroy, currently third in the standings, has already secured his spot in the playoffs. You could be right there with him as the 2024 PGA Tour season reaches its climax. This unique competition, organized in collaboration with the Alpine Formula 1 team – of which McIlroy is an investor – offers one lucky winner the chance to caddie for the four-time major champion for nine holes during the Wednesday practice round.
The prize includes flights and accommodation for the winner and a guest, along with hospitality tickets to the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Additionally, GolfPass and GolfNow will provide prize bundles to five runners-up.

However, a word of warning: no matter how well you perform, Harry Diamond’s job is secure. Speaking ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open earlier this month, McIlroy defended his caddie, who faced criticism following a late collapse at the US Open in June.
“These guys that criticise when things don’t go my way, they never say anything good when things do go my way,” McIlroy said.
“Where were they when I won in Dubai earlier this year, or Quail Hollow, or the two FedEx Cups that I’ve won with Harry, or the two Ryder Cups, or whatever? They are never there to say Harry did such a great job when I win, but they are always there to criticise when we don’t win.
“At the end of the day, they are not there. They are not in the arena. They are not the ones hitting the shots and making the decisions.”
He added: “I think I know what I’m doing and so does Harry.”
