Speaking about caddying, Bott said: “It is tough. People say it's a glamorous life staying in nice hotels. But I've stayed in tents and  in caravans."

Bott's schedule at the end of 2016 into early 2017 certainly racked up a fair few air miles.

Speaking to golfshake.com he said: “We went Turkey, South Africa, Dubai, Australia, home for five weeks at Christmas. Then the start of the year we've gone Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Dubai, Australia, week off, Mexico, week off, Orlando, Puerto Rico, home."
