Justin Rose in furious row with Bryson DeChambeau and caddie as sparks fly at Ryder Cup
DeChambeau was upset after Rose raged at the American's caddie in a row on the 15th green at Bethpage Black
www.the-independent.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public coverage:
- The most consistent thread in the last few years involves Justin Rose and his long-time caddie Mark Fulcher (often nicknamed “Fooch”). In 2019, Fulcher temporarily stepped away for health reasons, and Rose continued with other bagmen during that period.[1][2]
- Fulcher later returned to caddying with Rose for major events, including Ryder Cup appearances, and there were reports of him rejoining Rose’s team around late 2023 and again in 2025 for select events, with replacements filling in in the interim as needed.[3][5]
- Publicly, Rose and Fulcher have spoken about the goal of a full-time reunion when health and timing allow, and media outlets have noted the ongoing collaboration at various tournaments when both were on site.[7][3]
Illustrative note: Ryder Cup coverage in 2025 highlighted on-course tensions involving Rose and his playing counterpart, but those incidents centered on match play drama rather than a change in caddie arrangement; Fulcher was not reported as permanently replaced during that time in the mainstream coverage I found.[6][9]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest from specific outlets (e.g., PGA Tour, Golf Channel, or major UK golf sites) and summarize any new updates on Rose’s caddie situation with direct quotes and dates.
