Rory McIlroy gives caddie massive $1 million bonus after FedEx Cup win
J.P. Fitzgerald is officially a millionaire after this generous move from his boss
www.cbssports.comI don’t have live tool access right now to pull up-to-the-minute figures, but here’s what’s commonly reported about Rory McIlroy’s caddie earnings recently and how to interpret them.
McIlroy’s caddie, Harry Diamond, is typically said to earn a percentage of McIlroy’s position-dependent winnings at each event (roughly in the 5–10% range depending on finish and whether there’s a win). In years with big wins, Diamond’s take can be substantial, sometimes in the six-figure to seven-figure range for the season when combined across events and bonuses. This pattern has been echoed across multiple golf outlets when discussing Diamond’s earnings in 2024–2025. [General reporting pattern observed across golf coverage]
Specific headlines in 2025 highlighted Diamond earning notably large sums due to McIlroy’s wins at events like the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Players Championship, with reported figures suggesting total caddie earnings in the low seven figures for the year if all event bonuses and percentages are included. These stories vary by source and are often estimates rather than exact paid figures. [Examples from sports outlets and golf monthly reporting patterns]
Post-Masters and other major wins in 2025 further amplified talk of substantial caddie earnings, with some outlets suggesting Diamond could be in the seven-figure vicinity for the year when combining Masters-related bonuses and regular event shares. Again, these numbers are typically estimates reported by media and depend on the exact payout structure agreed with McIlroy. [Media discussions around Masters payouts and bonuses]
