[Golf Topic] "Is Finau's Caddie Really a Trillion-Won Asset Holder with 1.77 Trillion Won?"


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."How much is the caddie fee?"


Tony Finau's caddie has become a hot topic for being known as a billionaire with assets worth 1.5 billion dollars (1.77 trillion won). On the 3rd (Korean time), he participated in the Hero World Challenge (total prize money 3.5 million dollars) held at Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas (par 72, 7,309 yards). This tournament is a special event on the PGA Tour hosted by the 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (both from the United States). Finau's regular caddie went on maternity leave, and an enthusiastic fan and sponsor, Ryan Smith (left), appeared.


Smith is the founder of Qualtrics, a computer software company, and the owner of the NBA's Utah Jazz. It is noteworthy that both Qualtrics and the Utah Jazz are based in Salt Lake City. Finau grew up in Utah and still resides in Salt Lake City. Local Utah media reported, "People are curious about how much Finau will pay Smith as a caddie fee." Finau is currently tied for 7th place at 4 under par.
