Hunter Hamrick was on Nick Dunlap’s bag for his historic win on the PGA Tour in 2024. Before that wild win, Hamrick has had quite a relationship with the game of golf.

He played professionally for nine years and then returned to Alabama as an assistant coach in 2021, where he met Dunlap. During this podcast, we talk about Hamrick’s recent win in the NIT at the Country Club of Birmingham before diving into that incredible 2012 National Championship, which was loaded with talent, and his experience on Nick Dunlap’s bag for his American Express Championship and how life has changed now that he’s a full-time PGA Tour caddie.
