We ask permission from our caddy friends to make an incursion into their refuge of Caddielandia. It’s their turf. The home from which they tell us their stories. What is not seen on television. We use this temporary political asylum to account for the many juicy movements that have occurred in the Spanish caddy market in recent weeks. The other Armada.
We start first with continuity. Jesús Legarrea, Raúl Quirós, Borja Navarro, Francisco Mateo and Íñigo Urquizu continue with Jorge Campillo, Pablo Larrazábal, Alex del Rey, Fabrizio Zanotti and Renato Paratore. In this relationship, unfortunately, it must be said that Mateo is currently injured and has a very complicated start to the season with Zanotti.
As for the news, Diego Suazo has been working with Iván Cantero since the beginning of the course, while Adolfo Juan Luna, who ascended with the Asturian golfer to the DP World Tour, has started with Manu Elvira. In addition, Javier Erviti, who spent a long time with Renato Paratore and almost a full season with Emiliano Grillo, has started the campaign with Adri Arnaus.
Perhaps one of the big surprises of the last few hours has been the movement of Pello Iguarán. He finished the Dubai Final with Nacho Elvira, after working together for about seven months, and has now started with Guido Migliozzi. Precisely, who drops the Italian’s bag is Alberto Calvo, after four years, with some small interference, of being elbow to elbow. Calvo did the second and third phase of the school with Joel Moscatel and could return with him if he gets into the Mauricio tournament.
In the same way, with Ángel Hidalgo is Gonzalo Vicente. The Huelva native already finished last season with the Malaga native in replacement of Kisko Pérez. For his part, Santi Tarrio, who finished the last course with Diego Suazo in his bag, has started in South Africa working with Miguel Evangelio.
The most exotic option, if it can be called that, is that of Manuel Barrionuevo. He ascended to the Challenge Tour with the German Max Rottluff and remains in his bag for the 23-24. In addition, Ángel Ayora is currently with his coach and right hand, Juan Ochoa, Xabi Gorospe has been with Eugenio López Chacarra for a few months and Job Sugranyes has returned to the bag of Matteo Manassero, one of those mythical pairs of the DP World Tour. Meanwhile, David Morago has worked the last two weeks in Australia with Joel Moscatel and the results have been notable.
In total, there are 17 Spanish caddies on the major men’s golf circuits, not counting those who work on the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour. A lady and powerful Armada.
