Jon Rahm’s caddie has put his 40-hectare (!) estate on the market for $19.5 MILLION (!!)

By

If, as some rumours suggest, LIV Golf really is coming to an end this year, it was still one heckuva run for Jon Rahm. A day ago, the 31-year-old Spaniard won for a second time in 2026 on the Saudi-backed league and for a fourth time overall to increase his career earnings to about $US92 million. In less than two-and-a-half years. And that doesn’t include his original contract with the league, which some have estimated to be worth $US300 to $US500 million.

But Rahm’s long-time caddie, Adam Hayes, has done well for himself. Very well.

Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported Hayes is selling his home near Charlotte in North Carolina for… $US13.995 million ($A19.5 million). Yeah, life is good when you caddie for one of the best golfers on the planet.

Of course, this isn’t a normal home. Hayes’ estate covers 100 acres (40 hectares), has a main house that’s 500 square metres, and features a $US75,000 Full Swing golf and sports simulator. Have a look at this spectacular spread:

Not too shabby. And as you can see by this tweet, Golf Twitter is abuzz over this development:

We’re used to seeing tour stars buying and selling homes for exorbitant amounts, but tour caddies? It just goes to show how much money is floating around pro golf right now. And, yes, Hayes didn’t purchase the house for this price and we understand real estate has skyrocketed in recent years, but still, that’s a sick pad.

According to the WSJ, if the house sells for what it’s listed it will shatter the $US12 million record for the area. Good luck, Adam. I’d love to help, but it’s a bit out of my golf-writer price range.

UPDATE: Hayes tweeted that LIV money had nothing to do with this property:

Of course, being a PGA Tour caddie for all those years was pretty lucrative as well with Rahm’s career earnings including bonuses being about $US77 million before leaving for LIV. Regardless, the Rahm–Hayes tandem has done quite well.
