Rory McIlroy’s current caddie situation has shifted several times over the years, with occasional reports of changes around events, but there isn’t a single, definitive update in the immediate past. The most recent widely reported events involve Harry Diamond serving as McIlroy’s bagman during periods when his regular caddie was unavailable, such as the birth of Diamond’s child or temporary substitutions for specific tournaments. In 2025 and 2026, there were continued discussions and sporadic reports about caddie arrangements around various events, including notable open discussions of splits with former long-time caddies and subsequent replacements, but no sustained, long-term confirmation of a permanent change as of the latest public notes.[2][5][8][9]
If you’d like, I can narrow this down to a specific tournament or date range (e.g., the last 12 months or a particular event like The Open or a PGA Tour stop) and pull the most precise, current reports for that window. Would you like me to focus on the most recent 90 days or a specific event?
Note: I can also summarize the most credible sources from recent coverage and provide a quick timeline of known caddie changes for McIlroy.
