Justin Thomas didn’t initially want Michael Greller to caddie for Jordan Spieth, despite their close relationship. According to Greller, Thomas was competitive and joked that Spieth would rub his victory in his face, preventing him from teaming up with the golfer.
However, when Gavin Hall injured his wrist, Thomas changed his mind and introduced Greller to Spieth. Despite only having two days’ notice, Greller quickly teamed up with Spieth, marking the beginning of their successful partnership.
Their relationship has been tested by challenges, including Greller’s personal loss in 2019 when his father passed away. Despite these hardships, their bond has only strengthened, leading to 11 PGA Tour titles and three major championships.
