statement with GolfWeek<\/a> Foster said:<\/p>\n\u201cWhen I started with Matt six years ago, I told him I\u2019d like to do 20 (tournaments), that 27 is too much,” Foster said. “From day one, I wanted someone to work a few. I\u2019d still like to do 18 but it\u2019s not fair to have someone do just seven. So I compromised that I\u2019ll do 13 for Matt and maybe pick up a few in Europe, too.”<\/p>\n
Matt Fitzpatrick\u2019s next primary caddie is most likely going to be Daniel Parrat who was already sharing the position with Foster during the 2025 season.\u00a0 It will be hard to truly replace Foster, Fitzpatrick has called him the greatest caddie of all time at the 2022 US Open;<\/p>\n
\u201cThis means the world to Billy,\u201d said Fitzpatrick. \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable for him. I know it\u2019s something he\u2019s wanted for a long, long, long time. To do it is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parrat is a pretty capable caddie, so he should do well for Fitzpatrick.\u00a0 He does however have some big shoes to fill.<\/p>\n
A Farewell To Billy<\/h3>\n
As Foster said himself \u201call good things must come to an end.\u201d\u00a0 We are looking at the end of an era for Foster and Fitzpatrick.\u00a0 Billy Foster will most likely stick around the sport in the foreseeable future, but just doing other things.<\/p>\n
