"The relationship between looper and PGA Tour pro is, like everything else in sports, under a microscope..."

Brad Klein is fascinated by the increased scrutiny of today's PGA Tour loopers, but just wishes there would be more attention paid to caddies.

Golf these days needs more good caddie stories. Actually, it just needs more caddies. The industry is paying a price for having lost the chance to expose millions of teenagers to the game. Motorized golf carts wiped out a generation of potential future golfers. Maybe this week’s flurry of caddie news at the top of the profession will help spark more interest in entry levels of the game.

Those of us who gained our way into the game via the caddie yards could never have imagined it would become a public spectacle. We just thought it was a great way to spend more time around golf.
