Thailand Golf Championship: Juan Carlos Ferrero to caddie for Sergio Garcia
Tuesday 18 November 2014 11:39, UK
Sergio Garcia will have former French Open tennis champion Juan Carlos Ferrero as his caddie when he defends the Thailand Golf Championship crown next month.
Ferrero, who topped the tennis rankings in 2003 after claiming his only major title at Roland Garros, retired in 2012 after 14 years on the men's tour and he has now agreed to help out his fellow Spaniard.
"I've played golf with him many times but he never caddied for me before," Garcia said.
"We just talked about it and he mentioned about it and we decided to do it. He is excited about it."
Garcia's girlfriend Katharina Boehm was on his bag when he won the title last year.

"Katharina is fine," Garcia added. "She is happy to step aside and support from the side lines. It always helps to have a friend on your bag.
"It is good fun to be able to enjoy golf and have a good time with a good close friend."
World No 6 Garcia will face stiff competition at the December 11-14 event with Bubba Watson, Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood and Ernie Els also in the field at the Amata Spring club.
