The Japanese star was traveling after the Olympics; the bronze medal he won in Paris was not taken.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hideki Matsuyama is without his regular caddie and coach as the FedEx Cup playoffs begin Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
The caddie and coach were required to return to Japan to sort out their passport issues, likely preventing them from returning to the United States before next week’s BMW Championship. Matsuyama hired Taiga Tabuchi, the regular caddie for fellow Japanese tour pro Ryo Hisatsune, who will work in Hiyato’s absence. Hisatsune did not qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs.
