Ryder Cup: Eddie Hearn plans fight between McIlroy & US caddie
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is keen to arrange a rematch between star golfer Rory McIlroy and caddie Joe LaCava after their Ryder Cup run-in
news.paddypower.comHere’s the latest I can provide without live tool access:
- Rory McIlroy’s long-time caddie is Harry Diamond, with Diamond having worked with McIlroy since 2017. Any changes to that arrangement would be newsworthy, but as of the most recent reports, Diamond remains on the bag for McIlroy when they’re tournament-ready.[3][7]
- There have been occasional rumors or debates among pundits about whether McIlroy should consider a change in caddies or trial different people, often sparked by major championship results or awkward moments on the course. However, there is no widely publicized, sustained report confirming a permanent caddie change in 2026.[5][7]
If you want, I can:
- Narrow down to the most recent confirms (and specify dates) from reliable outlets.
- Set up a quick news scan for you and summarize only the latest two or three developments with direct quotes.
