LIV Golf’s Ian Poulter changes caddie ahead of 2024 season causing a switcheroo on the PGA Tour

Ian Poulter will be seen with a new caddie in the LIV Golf 2024 season. He has hired David Clark as his new bagman. Clark was previously with Brendon Todd, who has now signed Paul Tesori, Cameron Young's former caddie, on his bag.

Clark has previously worked with many big names on the PGA Tour, like Vijay Singh, Paul Casey, Adam Scott and Justin Rose. Todd had signed him earlier this July, but the partnership lasted only six months.

As the PGA Tour 2024 season is about to begin in less than a week, the caddie switch has left Young without a caddie. Tesori and Young began their partnership at the WGC-Dell Technologies MatchPlay earlier this year, where they finished runners-up.

Before joining Young, Tesori was with Webb Simpson for 12 years and was part of all seven PGA Tour wins of the golfer's career. Moreover, he had also worked with Vijay Singh, Jerry Kelly, Sean O’Hair and Chris Couch.

Tesori used to play competitive golf before starting as a caddie. He had competed for a junior college national championship team at Central Alabama (1990–92) and also played for the University of Florida (1992–95).

He went on to earn a PGA Tour card in 1996 but injured his shoulder in a car accident, cutting short his professional career.

How was the 2023 season for Ian Poulter?

Since joining LIV Golf, Ian Poulter hasn't made a significant impact, struggling to achieve a top-10finish. Even in the team format, his team, Majesticks GC, finished in the penultimate spot in the standings.

This year has been quite eventful for the Englishman, as he gave up his DP World Tour membership after the Tour had won the lawsuit. As a result, he was considered ineligible for the Ryder Cup. However, the European team wasn't affected much, as they comfortably beat the US 16.5–11.5 in Rome.

Poulter also participated in two events on the DP World Tour, and his best result was a T6 finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. His last professional win was the 2018 Houston Open on the PGA Tour.
