After being with the same caddie for 12 years, Tiger Woods and LaCava have decided to go their separate ways. Tiger Woods chose Lance Bennett as the replacement for LaCava. Lance Bennett became Tiger's caddie for the first time in the 2024 Genesis Invitational. Known for his collaboration with Matt Kuchar, he was on his bag during Kuch's 2012 Players Championship victory. Since 2003, Lance has worked as a caddy on the PGA Tour. Lance is equally highly experienced as a caddie; he has plenty of experience. For example, he has already worked with and for great players like Sungjae Im and Davis Riley; Bennett has also looped for players like Juli Inkster, Paula Creamer, and Lorena Ochoa on the LPGA Tour.

Tiger's go-to caddy before Lance was Steve Williams, then Joe LaCava. Tiger and Joe ended their relationship amicably after Tiger had surgery on his right ankle. Since then, Joe has been employed by Patrick Cantlay. At Genesis International in February 2024, Tiger and Lance teamed up. However, they first saw each other in 2013 when Lance caddied for Matt Kuchar. Given how well he and Matt clicked, Tiger spent much time with the two. This paved the way for Lance and Tiger to collaborate in the future. In a news conference held before Genesis International, the professional golfer claimed they hit it off immediately.
