Veteran PGA caddie Kip Henley reacts to Joel Dahmen’s split with his longtime looper – “Our great game takes no prisoners”

Veteran PGA Tour caddie Kip Henley reacted to Joel Dahmen's split from his long-term caddie Geno Bonnalie. The duo had worked together for a while and had gained people's attention after they appeared in Netflix's Full Swing.

Golf Insider’s Matt Gannon reported the news of the split, and later the PGA Tour pro confirmed it to Dan Rapaport. NUCLR Golf shared about the split of Joel Dahmen and his caddie on X. Henley later shared the post on social media with a caption:

"Bogart and Bacall breaking up was less sad than this. I’m sure both their hearts are broken but our great game takes no prisoners. Long caddie player relationships are a beautiful but fragile thing. Both these boys are GREAT at what they do and both will be fine someday soon!"

Joel Dahmen is not the only golfer on the PGA Tour to split ways with his caddie this year. Collin Morikawa parted ways with long-time caddie JJ Jakovac early this year and then joined Joe Greiner for a few events, but they also parted ways. He will be joined by legendary caddie Billy Foster for this week's Open Championship. Tom Kim has also parted ways with his caddie, Paul Tesori.
