Harry Higgs has a unique and close relationship with his caddie, Alex Higgs, who is also his younger brother. Alex began caddying for Higgs in February 2020 after a brief stint as a professional golfer himself. Both brothers played on the golf team at Southern Methodist University (SMU).
Alex is known for his ability to lighten the mood during tense moments in tournaments according to Golf Monthly. For instance, he often offers Higgs incentives for making challenging shots, which helps maintain a positive atmosphere. This approach was highlighted during the 2021 PGA Championship, where Higgs finished tied for fourth place, marking a significant achievement in his career.
During the 2021 PGA Championship, Alex chose to caddy for Higgs over competing in the U.S. Amateur Four-Bal. Alex's decision was driven by the opportunity to help Higgs succeed, as he was only four shots behind the leader going into the weekend.
