Two years ago this week, Tim Tucker quit working for his boss, Bryson DeChambeau, the night before the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic, a tournament DeChambeau was defending his title at.
However, the tandem is back together this week.
Tucker is back on the bag for DeChambeau at this week’s LIV Golf event in London at Centurion Club, DeChambeau’s agent confirmed to Golfweek. Tucker caddied for DeChambeau in all eight of his PGA Tour victories and was on the bag for Kurt Kitayama’s first Tour win this spring at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
DeChambeau’s caddie, Greg Bodine, is attending to a personal matter this week, which is why Tucker and DeChambeau are back together. No Laying Up first reported the pair joining up in London.

Bodine plans to return to DeChambeau’s bag at the Open Championship in two weeks at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, and Tucker will caddie for Kitayama next week in the Genesis Scottish Open.
Early in DeChambeau’s career, he went through a slew of caddies, including a previous break with Tucker, before making him his steady bagman in 2018.
DeChambeau hasn’t won in 14 LIV events, his best finish coming last week at LIV Golf Andalucia where he placed second. The 2020 U.S. Open champion last won at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
This year, he placed T-4 at the PGA Championship and T-20 at the U.S. Open while missing the cut at the Masters.
