Golf community stuns as Michael Greller reveals original occupation prior to Teaching & Caddying Of Jordan Spieth

Michael Greller, known as Jordan Spieth’s trusted caddie, had a different career before joining the golf world. Before taking on the role, Greller was a high school math teacher in Grand Haven, Michigan, while caddying part-time to earn extra income. His transition from teaching to full-time caddying was unexpected but ultimately led to a highly successful partnership with Spieth.

Spieth and Greller first connected in 2011 when Spieth competed in the US Junior Amateur Championship. Their success at the event led Spieth to name Greller his official caddie after turning pro in 2012. Since then, the duo has thrived, with Greller playing a key role in Spieth’s victories, including his record-breaking 2015 season.

Greller’s career change proved lucrative, as he has amassed a net worth exceeding $10 million. Top PGA Tour caddies typically earn a base fee per tournament plus a percentage of winnings, making Greller one of the most recognized names in his profession. He continues to support Spieth as they compete at the highest levels of golf.
