To everyone’s surprise and when he only owed his place in the field to a final medical exemption, Ryan Brehm managed to win last week in Puerto Rico. And to thank the one who helped him realize his dream, he promised to pay her more than half of his winnings!
At 35, Ryan Brehm won with a six-stroke lead on Sunday in the Puerto Rico Openan “alternate” tournament of PGA Tour. A victory which allows him to climb to 55th place in the classification of the FedEx Cup and above all to influence the course of his career!
Indeed, with this success, Brehm is guaranteed to play the next two years on the PGA Tour and will be able to compete The Playersthe richest tournament in the history of golf!
Half half
So, according to the golf journalist of the Detroit News, Tony Paulto thank the one who carried his bag last week, he pledged to pay her 51% of the $666,000 that this first victory brought him.
It should be noted that his youngest is none other than his wife, Chelsey. Never has the word “half” been so appropriate!
I asked newly minted PGA Tour winner Ryan Brehm what percentage of the $666,000 winner’s check his caddie — wife Chelsey — will receive.
« Probably the largest in PGA Tour history — 51%. »

It is therefore the most important check ever received by a caddy that Mrs. Chelsey Brehm is about to cash. In general, tournament winners give 10% of their winnings to their teammate.
A record that is likely to be quickly beaten since the winner of the Players will win the astronomical sum of 3.6 million dollars and therefore the youngest is supposed to leave with $360,000!
