A week ago Cliff Ellis, the caddie for erratic PGA Tour player Alejandro Tosti, stormed off the course in the middle of the opening round of the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, N.C.
The pair first started working together in May and through eight events, Tosti only made one cut. Ellis and Tosti had disagreements over money and an unusual agreement where the caddie would get paid 6% of the golfer’s winnings without a weekly salary.
The typical starting point for a caddie is $2,000 a week plus a percentage. Tosti, 30, also had repeated outbursts on the course as the missed cuts built up. Ellis said that Tosti “went crazy” multiple times during the opening round of the Rocket Classic, when he shot a miserable 82 and was warned multiple times by PGA Tour officials.
The breaking point came last week when Ellis claims he tried to calm Tosti after a poor pitch shot, only for the Argentinian to snap on him and say if he does that again he would get “really angry.”
At that point the 'fuck you's' came out, and Tosti was left holding the bag -
literally and figuretively. Well played, Mr. Ellis...
