Reuters exclusively reports McIlroy fires long-time caddie Fitzgerald

Reuters exclusively reported that Rory McIlroy has sacked his long-time caddie J.P. Fitzgerald, ending a partnership that took the Northern Irishman to four major titles and the top of the world rankings. Fitzgerald’s sacking comes barely a week after he publicly thanked his bagman for jolting him into gear when he made a poor start to the British Open. The Reuters report was covered by numerous media outlets including the Associated Press, New York Post, USA Today, Sky Sports, PGA.com, SB Nation, Golf.com, Golf Digest, Golf week and TSN.
