2-Time Major Champion Collin Morikawa Clashes with Reporter over Caddie Change Coverage

Collin Morikawa, the two-time major golf champion, publicly clashed with reporter Adam Schupak over an article covering Morikawa's recent split with caddie Joe Greiner. Morikawa took issue with a quote in the article that made him appear dismissive toward his pro-am partners and fans, feeling it portrayed him negatively by implying he was unapproachable during the event. He emphasized the importance of his pro-am partners to the community and the Rocket Classic, asserting that the reporter's framing was unfair. Schupak responded by saying he intended to give Morikawa credit for focusing on his partners, but Morikawa remained skeptical, noting that readers could interpret the article differently. Morikawa also confirmed he is currently without a full-time caddie but will likely resolve his plans soon, with former college teammate KK Limbhasut temporarily carrying his bag. This incident follows previous tensions between Morikawa and the media, including his controversial refusal to engage with reporters at the Arnold Palmer Invitational earlier in the year.
