Dillon Garcia went from running a pancake food truck to caddying at Cabot Citrus Farms — and two years later he's looping his way around the world, from Nova Scotia to New Zealand.

In this episode of the Tip Your Caddie Podcast, Doug sits down with Dillon (@dillongarcia) to talk about falling into resort caddying after a broken leg, what Cabot Citrus Farms is really like now that the old World Woods is unrecognizable, the caddie life at Cabot Cape Breton (Links vs. Cliffs), and why he's chasing summers in Nova Scotia and a full year at Tara Iti in New Zealand. Plus: caddie pet peeves, the best chirps in the yard, and the Last Call.

Matt Ginella has spent decades around the best courses in the world — and around the people carrying the bags at them. From Sports Illustrated to Golf Digest to Golf Channel's Round Trip, now founding Fire Pit Productions and serving as Chief Storyteller at Kemper Sports, Matt's the rare golf-media figure who treats caddies the way TYC treats them: as the people the game is actually built around.

In Episode 33, Dougie Buckets and Matt go deep on the loopers who shaped his career, the caddie academies giving kids a real path into the game, the philosophy of taking a caddy in a world that's increasingly built for carts, and the single best caddie call Matt has ever heard — on the 18th tee at St. Andrews, in the wind, with a re-tee already in the burn behind him. Plus: how Matt's son ended up with the name Bandon, why caddies make the best tour guides anywhere outside the ropes, and the white whale of golf media that Matt has agreed to help us land.

Trey Wingo joins Dougie Buckets, confirmed the biggest guest in Tip Your Caddie history. 23 years at ESPN, two decades as the voice of NFL Sundays, now running The Wingo Network — and as it turns out, a serious caddie guy.

Doug and Trey get into the unionization fight at Pebble Beach, the loopers and courses that defined Trey's golf life (Pebble, Spyglass, Bandon, Sand Valley, St. Andrews, Carnoustie), the best caddie advice he's ever been given, the boys-trip moments he'll never forget, and what it actually took to walk away from ESPN and build something of his own.

If you care about caddie culture, this is the one

What happens to the caddies when the tour they work for might not exist next year?

This week on Tip Your Caddie, we sit down with Adam, Jonathan and "Ricey" — three of the guys looping on LIV — to talk about the moment everything changed. They were at a tapas restaurant in Mexico when the news hit. Their jobs were potentially in jeopardy. Ten minutes earlier, life was normal. Ten minutes later, nobody had answers.

This one goes places most LIV coverage won't. No talking points. No corporate spin. Just caddies who've lived inside both worlds talking honestly about what comes next.

From the £5 tip at Queenwood… to Augusta dreams, Riviera nerves, and a phone call from mom that nobody saw coming.

What's in the bag this week:

The LIV uncertainty — what they actually heard, and when

Inside the LIV locker room the night the news broke

What happens to caddies if LIV folds back into the PGA Tour

The £5 Queenwood tip that gave this show its name

A Maidstone loop that ended in three holes of silence

The Mexico encounter with an Augusta member nobody saw coming

Hong Kong, a tied-second, and the moment Ricey will never forget

A first look at Caddy Clubhouse — building the future of caddy work

Augusta: the last loop they'd ever take

If you've followed LIV from the outside but never heard from the guys actually carrying the bags out there… this is the episode.

The island green. The roars. The carnage. We pulled up a couch with the caddies who loop TPC Sawgrass and asked them everything — how many balls you really need for 17, the wildest things they've seen on that tee box, what The Players week is actually like from inside the ropes, and the loops they'll never forget.

No filters, no PR answers. Just the guys who've been watching the splashes, reading the putts, and carrying the bags at the most famous stadium course in golf.

Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and tip your caddie.
