Adam Scott Hands Mike Kerr Full-Time Caddy Reins.

Adam Scott has handed Mike Keir one of the most sought after roles in golf and that’s the full-time caddy duties.

Scott confirmed Kerr’s appointment from his Gold Coast home and after the Zimbabwean-born Kerr had caddied for Scott throughout the recently completed Australasian Tour.

“I’m delighted that Mike has accepted my offer and I am confident that he will be a valuable member of my team for 2015 and beyond” said Adam.

The current World No. 3 created Australian sporting history in April 2013 by becoming the first Australian to win the Masters and then in May this year Scott became the first Australian since boyhood hero, Greg Norman to move to World No. 1.

However the decision by New Zealand-born Steve Williams to retire at the end of the 2014 PGA Tour season left Adams with the task of finding a suitable replacement caddy.

And Scott was inundated with offers including one from a Florida-based fellow, and with no connections to tournament golf, who admitted his full-time job was to look after his ailing mother.

Kerr is no stranger to caddying at the highest level having caddies for the likes of Ernie Els, Lee Westwood, Miguel Angel Jimenez and most recently, Thorbjorn Olesen.
