It is rare that caddies have a lasting impact on golf. John McLaren did just that. No, I'm not talking about his incredible playing style. It is the resume he built in the process that will make his departure a pill that is hard to swallow.

McLaren has been cycling for Paul Casey for the past six years and is currently ranked 27th in the official world golf rankings. During their cooperation, Casey won the Valspar Championship consecutively on the PGA Tour (2018-2019) and won two victories on the European Tour.

In a report published on pgatour.com, the 55-year-old McLaren is “taking an indefinite mental health break from the game”.

The story also stated that he "realized that in the current pandemic-ridden world, the anxiety of regular transatlantic travel is unhealthy."

"This is not retirement, this is a brave thing."

However, McLaren's career would not have been the case if it hadn't been for the visa he obtained while working with Scott Dunlap.

Immigration Lawyer Helen Konrad listed Dunlap's accomplishments before and after adding McLaren to his team, representing Dunlap's better performance during their cooperation.

"This is mainly for interviews with artists. If you are the only cellist in the world, it will be easy," Dunlap told The Associated Press. "But when you market yourself as a caddie, those powerful people will say,'Damn, anyone can carry a golf bag.' Legally speaking, you have to show that you really want it. this person."

Despite the challenges, the O-1 visa was approved and McLaren officially became a "superpower".

Before carrying the bag for Casey, he worked with another Englishman, Luke Donald. During their time together, Donald reached the number one in the world and earned 30 million US dollars. Quite profitable pairing.

McLaren is not afraid to swing some very dynamic combinations on the track. Tie-dye Jordan 1s with cartoon socks-create an atmosphere.

As you can see, this appearance has become McLaren’s flagship product...

His visa will expire in a few months (February 2022), but it will not be renewed. McLaren will call it a career after the European Tour in Dubai early next year.

This "breakup" will add to the recent caddy changes we have seen in the past few weeks, including Justin Thomas/Jimmy Johnson and Bubba Watson/Ted Scott.
