During his time on the PGA TOUR, Wood was on the bag for a variety of players, including Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Mark Calcavecchia and Kevin Sutherland, among others. He has caddied in a number of Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups and was also on the bag for Kuchar’s bronze medal performance in men’s golf at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Prior to his career as a caddie, Wood played golf collegiately at the University of California, Berkeley.
