WATCH: Sahith Theegala gifts caddie his dream watch, receives priceless reaction

Sahith Theegala recently gifted his caddie Carl Smith his dream watch Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Theegala's gesture left Smith in awe over the watch, which costs from $15,000 and climbs higher over $50,000 depending on the specifics.

In the initial frames of the recent video posted by Theegala's girlfriend JuJu R Chan on her Instagram account, Theegala handed over the "thank you gift" to his caddie.

As Smith opened the box with the iconic Rolex logo, he was in disbelief. But when the truth dawned, his reaction was priceless. He overwhelmingly asked, "This isn't for me, is it?" Theegala confirmed, "Yeah, it is."

Theegala and Smith then hugged each other. Smith said:

"I don't even know if I said thank you yet. Are you kidding me?"

Theegala responded, "Like I said, you deserved it." At the end of the video, Smith said:

"You know what I always say. Even if you didn't get me anything, even if you just say thank you, it makes you want to show up and work harder every day."

Commenting on the Instagram video, Theegala wrote:

"Carl is the man and he earned it! Guy grinds his ass off and is just a great friend. Wouldn’t be here without him.. to many more memories on and off the course"

Carl Smith started caddying for Sahith Theegala in 2021. He had earlier worked with the likes of Andrew Putnam and Cameron Tringale.
