Who Is Matt Fitzpatrick's Caddie?

After six years and four wins - including the 2022 US Open - with legendary caddie, Billy Foster, Matt Fitzpatrick opted to make a change to his team early in 2025.

Foster announced towards the end of 2024 that the toll of so many transatlantic flights were taking their toll on him and he had informed the Sheffield-born golfer that he needed to take a step back.

From there, Fitzpatrick brought experienced looper, Daniel Parratt on board to fill on during the weeks Foster was not working, with the pair sharing caddie responsibilities.

However, after the English pro's poor run of form failed to improve thereafter, Fitzpatrick and Foster permanently went their separate ways in March 2025. At that point, Parratt was given the job full-time and has remained with Fitzpatrick through the start of the Major season.

While good results have been hard to come by so far, the pair have still managed to enjoy their time out on course together - highlighted by an inside moment that Fitzpatrick shared during the 2025 RBC Heritage.

After completing his first round which saw Fitzpatrick chip in for an eagle three on the par-5 second at Harbour Town, the Ryder Cup winner was asked what his best shot of the day was, to which he replied: "Probably the chip-in on two. I'll give myself that one. That was a good one.

"I don't know how close the microphone was, but me and my caddie had a bit of a commentary as it was rolling towards the hole, so it was quite funny actually.

"I played it and I said, 'I can't play it any better than that, Dan.' And as it's rolling towards the hole, he's like, 'that's why it's going stiff,' but before it went in, I said, 'no, you mean going in,' and literally it just dropped in. So it was quite funny. We had a good laugh."

Parratt was born in Bristol, England and has been a professional caddie since 2009. In that time, he has worked with a host of top PGA Tour and DP World Tour players such as Byeong Hun An, K.H. Lee, Calum Hill, Alex Noren, Thorbjorn Olesen and Robert Karlsson.

When teaming up with Scotsman, Hill, the pair triumphed at the 2021 Cazoo Classic in just their third start together. Meanwhile, Parratt was at An's side during his appearance at the 2019 Presidents Cup and the Korean's T22nd-place finish at the 2020 PGA Championship.

Discussing one of his first Major championship appearances, Parratt detailed how he dealt with his maiden trip to The Masters alongside Olesen. The experienced bagman explained his reaction to seeing Augusta National in person for the first time and how difficult it can be to do the job there.

Speaking to fellow caddie Jamie Lane in a video feature for Titleist back in 2020, Parratt said: "That was one of the weirdest ones when I first went, I was working for Thorbjorn, because it was one of those courses where we both hadn't been before but you almost know it so well - especially the back nine because you've watched it so much.

"And the thing about Augusta is, once you've caddied there quite a few times, you almost build up your bible of a book, don't you? It's always the same spots you hit it, it always plays this way or does that. So it's a really unique golf course in the sense that you kind of know how it's all got to be played...

"But the front nine was what shocked me, how tough some of those holes are on the front nine. Everyone talks about Amen Corner, but some of those other holes..."

In terms of family, Parratt is married to Gemma and the pair have two boys called Brooks and Casey. Brooks was born in September 2016 while Casey was delivered in September 2018.

Fitzpatrick is yet to confirm Parratt as his new permanent looper, but a return to form throughout 2025 and beyond could well help the Major winner lock up his current caddie to a long-term deal.
