After parting ways with Paul Tesori, Cameron Young was spotted with caddie Wayne De Haas at the Kapalua during the Tuesday practice round ahead of Sentry 2024. However, he hasn't made any formal announcement about hiring a new caddie.

Last week, it was reported that Young was left without a caddie after Tesori joined Brendon Todd ahead of the new season. Todd's former bagman, David Clark, had also joined hands with LIV Golf professional Ian Poulter. However, the caddie crisis seems to be resolved for the 2021–22 rookie of the year, at least for now.

The NUCLR Golf posted the photograph of Young and De Haas on X (formerly called Twitter) and wrote:

"🚨 JUST IN: Cameron Young’s new caddie is Wayne De Haas. Wayne was caddying for him during Tuesday's practice round at Kapalua."

Before working as a caddie, De Haas was himself a professional golfer and played mostly on the Minor League and DP World Tour events after turning pro in 1997. In the eight events he played on the European Tour, he made just one cut. His last start was the 2008 Joburg Open, where he failed to make the cut.

Previously, De Haas had caddied for his fellow countryman and four-time major champion, Ernie Els, at the 2022 US Senior Open Championship.

Young had signed Tesori at last year's WGC-Dell Technologies MatchPlay, where they finished as runners-up. The relationship could last for just less than nine months. However, they had a few memorable performances, such as T7 at the Masters Tournament and T8 at the Open Championship.

The duo appeared in 17 events, made 14 cuts, and finished four times inside the top ten. With De Haas on the bag now, it will be interesting to see how the new PGA Tour season unfolds for the 26-year-old American golfer.


How did the 2022–23 season go for Cameron Young?
