Who Is Adam Scott's Caddie?

Adam Scott has worked with some of the most well-known caddies over his career including Steve Williams and Tony Navarro. Scott and Navarro worked together between 2005 and 2011, after Navarro had worked for the likes of Greg Norman and Raymond Floyd.

“Adam was great to work for. A gentleman and a helluva player,” Navarro told The Caddie Network.

“He’s very underrated, a lot better player than probably his career has showed."

Following Williams, Scott employed John Limanti, starting in the second half of 2018. Limanti, a caddie for decades, had also worked for the likes of Chris Stroud, Aaron Baddeley, Brendon Todd, Chris Kirk and Kyle Stanley. He was also the caddie for I.K. Kim in her infamous loss at the 2012 Kraft Nabisco Championship where she missed a one-foot putt on the 72nd green to win.

They were together for a few seasons until Scott began working with Gregory Hearmon, who he still works with today. We first spotted Hearmon on the bag at the start of the 2022 calendar year. 

Hearmon is from South Africa and has caddied for some very well-known South Africans, Retief Goosen, Charl Schwartzel, and Louis Oosthuizen. In fact Hearmon was on the bag for Schwartzel's 2011 Masters victory, which he cites as the biggest highlight of his caddying career. 

He was with Oosthuizen before moving over to Scott's bag.

Hearmon has a handicap of around 5, says Liverpool is his favorite sports team and said Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Nick Price would make up his dream foursome.
