The standard practice is that the overall winner of a golf tournament will give 10% of the purse to the caddie. Golfers who finish in the Top 10 will reward their caddie with 7% of their prize money. Finally, golfers outside the Top 10 will pay 5% of their prize money to their caddies.

While these figures can be different based on negotiations, the most standard figure is that the caddie of a tournament's winner earns ten percent of what the golfer wins. That's a pretty good chunk of change, as the average value of a win on the PGA Tour during the 2021-22 season was just over $1.64 million.

The only professional events where professionals get paid for missing the cuts are in majors. For example, golfers who missed the cut at the 2022 Masters Championship still walked away with $10,000. However, in regular Tour events, a missed cut equals 2 days of free labor.
