One of the game’s most popular players will team up with one of the game’s most popular caddies at this week’s season-opening Sentry at Kapalua Resort in Hawaii. But this move is only temporary.

According to the PGA Tour, Michael Greller, the longtime caddie for Jordan Spieth, will loop for Max Homa at the first stop of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Homa’s regular caddie, Joe Greiner, was unavailable for this week but is expected back for the West Coast Swing, which begins in two weeks.

Homa is coming off a winless 2024 after he won five times in the previous three seasons. He’s currently ranked 41st in the World; a year ago he entered the same tournament ranked 7th.

Spieth didn’t qualify for The Sentry, but it’s unlikely he would have been able to play anyway. His season ended at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in August and he elected to have wrist surgery almost immediately after. He joined Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio earlier this month and said the wrist “feels good.”

“Everything’s gone according to plan,” Spieth said. “I’ve been kind of hitting on a ball count the last couple weeks and then I got the full go this last weekend. The weather’s been good here in Dallas, I’ve been at it the last, well, really, I hit Nerf balls for a while so I could work on some mechanics and not have the contact.

“Now I have zero restrictions. It feels good. None of the shots, you know, I don’t really have any problems with it. No pain, no anything. So now it’s kind of just taking care of it, continuing to do therapy probably through the New Year, and just be prepared to go start playing some golf and be prepared to play three weeks in a row. I think that’s kind of the next step is actually getting out and playing, which will be fun. It’ll be a little rusty to start for sure.”

Spieth was winless in 22 starts last season and recorded three top 10s. He’s still looking for his first win since the 2022 RBC Heritage.

The Sentry, a Signature Event, begins Thursday on the Plantation Course at Kapalua. You can watch the first-round action from 6-10 p.m. ET on Golf Channel or the NBC Sports App.
