How Much Does Rory McIlroy's Caddie Earn? - Golf Monthly
McIlroy has certainly earned his fair share of prize money over the years, but this is how much we expect his caddie, Harry Diamond to collect
www.golfmonthly.comI don’t have real-time access in this moment to pull the latest verified figures, but here’s what’s been reported recently about Rory McIlroy’s caddie earnings trend.
- Typical pattern: McIlroy’s caddie, Harry Diamond, reportedly earns a percentage of McIlroy’s winnings per event (often cited around 5–10% depending on finish and event), plus possible official bonuses for majors or big wins. This pattern has led to six-figure to seven-figure annual sums for Diamond in standout years.[1][6]
- Notable 2024–2025 reports: Media coverage from early 2025 highlighted Diamond earning well into six figures from major wins and top finishes, with figures sometimes cited around $0.3–0.9 million in the year, depending on which events count toward the share and the size of the purses. Updates also suggested Masters and Players Championship winnings boosting his take for the year.[4][6][1]
- 2025 Masters and Amgen Irish Open context: Coverage of Rory’s 2025 season indicates substantial caddie earnings tied to wins at majors and high-profile events, with some analyses projecting six-figure shares per event and total annual takes exceeding multiple other tour pros’ earnings for the year.[3][6]
- 2026 developments: There were reports in 2026 about Masters-related payouts and comparative caddie earnings across the tour, noting Diamond’s share from McIlroy’s Masters victory and other wins could push his annual total into the higher six-figures or low seven-figures depending on purse size and arrangements.[5][10]
