Michael Greller, Jordan Spieth’s caddie, has made some smart career moves in the last five years. After ditching his gig as a substitute math teacher and finding his way to carrying one of the most sought-after bags in golf, Greller has become a millionaire a few times over.
When you’ve reached the pinnacle of your career, mementos start to take a different shape; the ordinary becomes mundane and you need to do something to spice it up. That’s exactly what Greller did follow Spieth’s amazing bunker hole out to win the Travelers Championship. Aside from the usual pin flag from the 18th green, Greller grabbed another piece of golf course equipment to remember the week by.

In case you thought he wasn’t getting out of Connecticut with that rake in his possession, Greller followed up on Friday afternoon that he did indeed receive the rake from TPC River Highlands.

Greller said following the dramatic win that the rake “would look pretty cool in the man cave,” and now he has to put his money where his mouth is.
