Last week, we asked our Instagram followers about the most famous golfers they've ever caddied for. The answers ranged from pop stars like Harry Styles to Hall of Famers like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Who's your most famous loop?
We’re proud to announce that in 2019, a record 280 students nationwide have been awarded the Evans Scholarship.
To celebrate this record-setting group of Scholars, we've produced a video documenting their journey.

Why is caddying the best summer job a young person can have?
Who better to ask than 2015 Caddie Hall of Fame inductee Bill Murray? (🎥 William Murray Golf)
As high school and college students soon start looking for a summer gig, one college student explains why being a country club caddie might be the best summer job there is.
Can we please give it up for

Caddying is more than a summer job. It introduces young people to the game of golf. It teaches life skills. It provides opportunities for college scholarships. It helps build a foundation for life success.
The Evans Scholars Program is one of the greatest stories in golf.
Since 1930, we've awarded more than $365 million in tuition and housing scholarships to more than 10,000 deserving caddies from coast to coast.
... And we're just getting started.
1,000 by 2020?
How about 1,000 by 2019?
This fall, 1,010 caddies will attend one of 18 leading universities on the Evans Scholarship. Together, we're helping meet the growing needs of deserving young men and women and their families.
One life-changing moment.
Congratulations to Jack from Ridge Country Club in Chicago on earning the Evans Scholarship!
Share this video if you remember the moment you became part of the Evans Scholars Family!
“The caddie is the lifeblood of the game of golf…a great companion, a friendly conversationalist and a smiling face. This is what the game of golf is all about.”
- Chick Evans

Happy 132nd Birthday to the one and only, Charles "Chick" Evans Jr.! 🎂
Born on this day in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1890, Chick's legacy lives on in the thousands of Evans Scholars and Evans Scholars Alumni around the world.
"I think everyone should caddie. You learn a lot about people, how you'd like to be treated and how to treat other people. It really was the most informative education." - Bill Murray, Caddie Hall of Fame '15
It's with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of
@missouri_evans
Jack Perlongo.
Jack passed away last month after a battle with Synovial Sarcoma but not before leaving an indelible mark on the Evans Scholars Community.
Our thoughts are with Jack's family and friends.
“I started as a caddie, just like a lot of other kids. If my father hadn’t taken me out and said, ‘I need somebody to carry the bag,’ I wouldn’t be sitting here tonight, I’m sure of that.” -
@jacknicklaus
Thanks, Dad.

Chick Evans won the 1916 US Open with only 7 clubs, which was 10 clubs less than the player who had the most in their bag.
Of those 7 clubs only 4 of them were irons.

Our Program wouldn't be what it is today without premier caddie programs like the one at The Beverly Country Club in Chicago.
Beverly has helped 326 caddies realize their dream of a college education through the Evans Scholarship, most of any club in the country.
Good morning from the Country Club of Detroit where a select group of deserving caddies will interview today for the opportunity of a lifetime -- the Evans Scholarship.
