Here’s what’s publicly reported about Rory McIlroy’s caddie earnings recently.
- Harry Diamond’s earnings have been widely discussed as tied to McIlroy’s 2025 results, with various outlets alleging the caddie could have earned well into the six‑figure to seven‑figure range for the year, depending on bonuses and finishes. For example, multiple outlets cited figures around $870,000 to over $1.2 million in 2025 based on McIlroy’s wins and Diamond’s share of payouts.[1][2][5]
- Reports also note that a caddie’s typical cut of a player’s winnings varies by finish, with higher percentages for wins (often around 7–10%) and lower for top‑10s or lower finishes, which helps explain the spread in reported numbers.[2][1]
- Later 2025 coverage highlighted major results like McIlroy’s wins at Pebble Beach Pro‑Am and The Players Championship contributing to Diamond’s earnings, along with other events where the caddie’s share would apply based on McIlroy’s placement.[5][2]
- There are 2026 updates suggesting even larger totals in light of McIlroy’s Masters win, with caddie earnings reported in some outlets to be substantial as part of Masters prize distributions and bonuses, though exact, widely verified totals vary by source.[4][8]
A few notes to keep in mind
- Exact caddie earnings are not officially published by the PGA Tour; figures come from independent reports and estimates based on percentage shares of prize money and bonus structures reported by Golf Monthly, golf media outlets, and aggregators.[2][5]
- The figures cited in articles frequently differ due to timing (which events are counted) and the assumed share percentage for the caddie, which is not publicly standardized across players/agents.[6][1]
