Tiger's Caddy Shares the Text Tiger Sent Him following Masters Victory

A his final tap-in that clinched his 15th major last Sunday at the Masters, Tiger Woods and caddie Joe LaCava had a moment.

An emotional Woods could be seen telling LaCava “we did it!”, something you wouldn’t normally see from the old Tiger.

LaCava talks about the exchanges between he and his boss after the victory. One came in the scorer’s tent, where he and Tiger didn’t even have to say anything to convey what they were thinking.

Via The Caddie Network:

“We just kind of looked at each other and soaked it all in,” LaCava said. “It was still only seven minutes since he putted out and it’s hard to take it all in at that point, but we just took a deep breath. Nothing was really said. He basically said, ‘we did it,’ again. But we got to share the moment and smile at each other. It was such an achievement, a proud moment more than anything.

“Nothing needed to be said because we could read each other’s minds.”

When Woods did have a chance to soak it all in hours later, he sent LaCava a text message.

“Tiger did send a message that said, ‘We did it, appreciate you hanging in there with me, I love you like a brother,’” LaCava said. “And I sent one back very similar to that. Hopefully we’ll have a nice sit-down dinner and rehash everything at the next tournament and not necessarily celebrate it, but enjoy it and reminisce a little bit.”
