Collin Morikawa puts former Cal teammate on bag at Rocket Classic

Collin Morikawa changed caddies once again, switching to a former college golf teammate for this week’s PGA Tour event.

Morikawa confirmed Wednesday that KK Limbhasut will replace Joe Greiner on the bag in the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club.

“I think Joe is an amazing caddie, but I think just the way we kind of saw things or just day to day how we kind of went about it, we were just a little bit on a different page,” Morikawa said. “That doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong, but for me it just didn’t feel right.”

Limbhasut, who was on the golf team at Cal with Morikawa, will be a one-week replacement.

“Got my buddy on the bag who played Berkeley with me who’s actually still on the Korn Ferry (Tour), so I appreciate him doing that and we’re going to go out and have a blast,” Morikawa said.

Morikawa, who is ranked No. 5 in the world, made five cuts with Greiner as his caddie but tied for 50th at the PGA Championship and finished T23 at the U.S. Open. He was T42 at last week’s Travelers Championship.

Morikawa, 28, split with J.J. Jakovac on April 29.

Jakovac had been Morikawa’s only caddie since he turned professional in 2019. Morikawa has six career PGA Tour victories — including wins at the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 Open Championship. He last won at the Zozo Championship in October 2023.

Greiner parted ways with close friend Max Homa in early April before joining Morikawa.

Morikawa said he doesn’t yet know who will be on the bag for him at The Open Championship next month at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

“I have to explore other options,” he said. .”.. At the end of the day, you don’t know how you’re going to be, because we spend more time with them than anyone else in the world honestly. I spend more time with them than my wife sometimes. It’s a true relationship.”
