Nicki Stricker is a former golfer herself from the University of Wisconsin, and has caddied for her husband at different times since 1994, when Steve first played on the PGA Tour.

She continued her role until 1997, winning two titles in 1996, before stopping to give birth to their eldest daughter, Bobbi, in 1998.

Nicki returned for 2001 for just one year to caddie for Steve, and she returned again in 2015 when Stricker's former caddie Jimmy Johnson left for Justin Thomas' bag.

Nicki's father, Dennis Tiziani is also Steve Stricker's long-time swing coach, having played on the PGA Tour for three years and coached the Wisconsin men's golf team for 26 years and women’s golf team for 14 years in Madison.

Her brother, Mario, played on the PGA Tour in 2008 too, and their grandfather was a head golf professional in Michigan for 40 years.

In the recent years that Nicki has caddied for Steve, she has been a part of his seven PGA Tour Champions wins.
