Never mind a shack, Jordan Spieth's caddie could build a mansion with his 2015 pay.
The 22-year-old Spieth, Tour Championship and FedEx Cup winner Sunday, earned his age in millions this season, and, based on the typical percentage a PGA Tour caddie gets, Michael Greller did pretty well himself, Golf.com reported.
The math, according to the report: Typically, caddies receive 5 percent of a player's earnings for making the cut in a tournament, that jumps to 7 percent for finishing in the top 10 and 10 percent for a win.
Given that Spieth made just more than $22 million, Golf.com then calculated that his cuts made, top 10s and wins, plus the FedEx Cup bonus, mean that Greller was paid $2.14 million, assuming he took home the typical percentages and excluding any one-time tips from Spieth, who became the world No. 1 with his win over the weekend.
For context, that means Greller earned almost exactly what future World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson made this season ($2.15 million) and made almost five times what a certain former world No. 1 — OK, it's Tiger Woods — took home for 2015 ($448,598).
