Tiger Woods stays sharp tee to green at Quicken Loans National pro-am

POTOMAC, Md. – Tiger Woods wanted to give Joe LaCava a break. There was rain in the forecast for his 7 a.m. Wednesday pro-am tee time at TPC Potomac, and when there’s rain in the forecast a good caddie loads up the bag with an umbrella, rain suit, etc. All the standard precipitation defense mechanisms. Pro golf bags aren’t light to begin with and the extra weight means a tougher loop for caddies. So when agent Mark Steinberg told Woods on the 10th tee that the forecast had changed and there wouldn’t be any rain, he told LaCava to take a load off and ditch the rain gear. LaCava protested at first and said he was fine but ultimately gave up the umbrella. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of the things
