ATLANTA Last week as Tiger Woods prepared to play the season finale at East Lake he sent a text message to his caddie Joey LaCava that simply asked, what do I need to do to get better?Although when it comes to Woods his proficiency is always relative, but LaCava didnt pull any punches, and as the duo completed the final round on Sunday at the Tour Championship with a bunker shot to 7 feet at the last the two traded knowing smiles.We had a talk last week about his bunker game and I said, Im glad you kept that bunker game stuff in mind, LaCava said. I told him he was an average bunker player and he worked at it last week. There were only two bunker shots he didnt get up-and-down, I dont count the last one on 18. He recognized that after two days. He was like, What do you know, Im 100 percent from the bunkers and Im in the lead after two days.

You've gotta hand it to longtime PGA Tour caddie Joe LaCava for standing by his man. When Tiger Woods decided to roll the dice on a third major back surgery in 2017 — the dreaded "fusion" move that has truncated many an athletic career — the former bag man for Freddie Couples (who's had a few back issues himself) and Dustin Johnson didn't seek out another employer.
