The caddy will come out to the course before the tournament starts and walk the course, writing down yardages to landing spots, to hazards, to the greens, study the weather and prevailing winds, whatever the player asks for.
In Kuchar's situation, the guy was a local caddy who sometimes can give player even better insight of the course. A caddy is also like a locker room attendant, he keeps the player's clubs cleaned, make sure his shoes are clean, maybe even help with the wardrobe and coordinate with the sponsor what the player's needs in clothes, caps, balls, clubs, etc.
The player usually pays the caddy's expenses and a salary of $1000 to $1500 a week and then 3% of his earnings, and if a wins he gets 10%. In Kuchar's case telling the caddy he was going to get $50,000 if he won, Kuchar was getting off easy. When he offered $15,000 that was a slap in his face and the caddy turned it down.

Right but none of this matters because every situation is different. Shi$ Hill outplayed his contract and was probably the most underpaid receiver in the NFL. It is what it is.
The FREAKING caddie agreed on a price and that's that. He was just being a publicity hoar and wanting everyone to put public pressure on the guy to force him to pay. I wish he would of kept it at 5K, I would of had way more respect for him.
The caddie should have said 5k but if you win 50K, if he agrees great, but that was never on the table. Man I hate that caddie...
