Joel Dahmen will have a familiar face on the bag this week at TPC Sawgrass as caddie Geno Bonnalie joins him for a one-week assignment.
Joel Dahmen will have a temporary reunion with caddie Geno Bonnalie at the Players Championship this week, marking a brief return to their working relationship after Bonnalie’s full-time commitment elsewhere.
Bonnalie, who typically works as the full-time caddie for Isaiah Salinda, will loop for Dahmen during the week at TPC Sawgrass. The arrangement comes as Salinda did not qualify for the prestigious event, opening the door for Bonnalie to take on the one-week assignment.
A Rotating Cast on the Bag
Dahmen has worked with a rotating group of caddies in recent outings, making Bonnalie’s presence a steady hand for one of the PGA Tour’s marquee events. The Players Championship, held at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, attracts the world’s best players and serves as one of the most prestigious non-major tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule.
The one-week caddie arrangement highlights the flexibility required in professional golf, where scheduling conflicts and tournament qualification create opportunities for temporary partnerships. For Dahmen, having Bonnalie’s experience and familiarity could provide valuable continuity as he competes against the strongest field of the season.
Once the Players Championship concludes, Bonnalie will return to his regular role with Salinda, while Dahmen will continue his search for consistency in his caddie selection moving forward.
Joel Dahmen and Geno Bonnalie will be reunited for one-week only at the Players Championship.
