A Billionaire Caddied for Tony Finau in the Hero World Challenge

Morning Read's Colin McDonald recaps the winners and losers of the week, including a buffed Tiger Woods in the Bahamas and the billionaire filling in for Tony Finau's usual caddie.

For the first time since his car crash in February, Tiger Woods was back in front of the media on Tuesday, preaching very cautious optimism about any competitive plans in the future. Despite rehabbing his leg and continuing to deal with back pain, the 15-time major winner is clearly still getting his reps in the gym. 

A caddie's paycheck is almost entirely determined by the performance of his player, but even a win for Tony Finau this week wouldn't make much of a difference in his caddie's bank account. Meet the richest man on the course in the Bahamas who will be carrying a bag of clubs. 

Bryson DeChambeau is still licking his wounds from the beatdown Brooks Koepka issued in The Match. We look back on a season that's has been turbulent from start to finish for DeChambeau and has kept him in the headlines, for better or worse. 

Your host, Colin McDonald breaks it all down in this week's episode of Up and Down.
