Second PGA Tour caddie reaches breaking point and quits mid-tournament… weeks after another walked off course in meltdown

Veteran caddie Darren Woolard parted ways with PGA Tour golfer David Lipsky mid-tournament following Saturday's third round at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. After two bogeys on his final three holes on Saturday, Woolard reportedly told Lipsky to find a replacement caddie for the final round and left the event. Lipsky used a stand-in caddie for Sunday's final round, carding a one-under 71 to finish tied for 54th at three-under par.

The incident marks the second mid-tournament caddie walkout in recent weeks, following Cliff Ellis leaving Alejandro Tosti during the Biltmore Championship Asheville in September. Ellis recently revealed on Tee Box Golf Radio that his exit was sparked by escalating arguments, culminating in a dispute over an umbrella and an alleged personal attack from Tosti on the course.
