Watch Sahith Theegala give his caddie the gift of his dreams: 'You earned it'

November 18, 2024

We're still more than a week out from Thanksgiving, but Christmas came particularly early for one PGA Tour caddie over the weekend.

Carl Smith had already had an incredible year looping for Sahith Theegala with the young star earning $16 million including his $7.5 million bonus for finishing third in the FedEx Cup standings. And now he has been given quite a bonus of his own.

A video filmed by Theegala's girlfriend captures the golfer handing a gift bag to Smith and Smith's priceless reaction to opening up a box to see the watch of his dreams. Have a look for yourself:

Awww. That's great stuff right there.

According to those with knowledge of expensive watches—admittedly, not our lowly Loop writers' expertise—that's a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, which costs around 50 GRAND. So, yeah, nice little gift.

And the best part of the video? Smith putting his new Rolex to replace his . . . Timex. Decent upgrade!

“Even if you didn’t get me anything, and even if you just say, ‘Thank you,’ it makes me want to show up and work harder every day,” Smith tells Theegala near the end of the video.

OK, so that's actually the best part. Seriously, you guys are going to make us cry.
