Who is Collin Morikawa's caddie?

He won eleven titles in his amateur career, including the Northeast Amateur in 2017 and the Sunnehanna Amateur in 2016. Furthermore, he spent three weeks at the top of the World Amateur Golf Ranking in May 2018.

At age 23, Morikawa won the PGA Championship, making him the fourth golfer to accomplish this feat prior to turning 24 in August 2020. His professional debut is matched only by Tiger Woods' 25 straight PGA Tour cuts.

Morikawa defeated Billy Horschel, Viktor Hovland, and Brooks Koepka by a margin of three strokes in the 2021 WGC-Workday Championship. The same year, he won the Open Championship by two strokes over Jordan Spieth. He became the first player to win two majors in eight or less starts since Bobby Jones in 1926.

In October, he won the 2023 Zozo Championship, breaking his 27-month winless streak on the PGA Tour by six strokes over Eric Cole and Beau Hossler. He's won a total of seven professional wins, including six on the PGA Tour and four on the European Tour, including his 2021 DP World Tour Championship in Dubai

Who is Collin Morikawa’s caddie?

Colline Morikawa’s caddie is Jonathan “JJ” Jaoavac as of April 2024.

Being a golfer himself, Jonathan Jakovac led California State University, popularly known as the Chico State Wildcats, to two individual national championship victories.

Jakovac became professional but did not make it through Q-School. At that point, he accepted a caddie position alongside Ryan Moore, and the two worked together for seven and a half years. Jakovac caddied for Moore during the spell in the decisive 2016 Ryder Cup match, which the looper at the time regarded as his professional high point.

Once the 2019 PGA Championship was over, the two parted ways. Jakovac noticed Morikawa's potential while he was still living in Napa, California. Inquiring about the possibility of collaborating, he approached a friend of his who is an agent to get in touch with Morikawa's staff. Eventually, Morikawa advanced and the partnership was formed at the Pebble Beach sectional qualifier for the 2019 US Open.

The two have won the 2020 Workday Charity Open, 2020 PGA Championship, and 2019 Barracuda Championship since then. In 2021, things went even better, with wins at the WGC-Workday Championship, the Open Championship, and the DP World Tour Championship.

JJ's 39th birthday arrived when Morikawa won the Open Championship, adding more meaning to the it and he even sang the "Happy Birthday" song with the audience to celebrate his birthday. Jakovac is a die-hard San Francisco Giants supporter outside of golf, which added to the joy of winning the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park in the city.
