Around this time, a couple of weeks ago, Austin Gaugert was jobless. Not that he was to be blamed for what happened at the Aronimink. But his boss was just too frustrated to think straight. Now, the experienced caddie has already found a new role with a new boss.

The PGA Tour Media released a list of caddies accompanying every pro during the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge. And Gaugert seems to be carrying the bags for Dylan Wu this weekend. It’s not the first time he has had Gaugert carrying his bag as well. They have previously worked together on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Though he is still in search of his first PGA Tour win, Wu previously had his brother, Jeremy Wu, as his on-course partner. The American pro also briefly had William Lanier as his bagman during the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Speaking of what transpired a couple of weeks ago, Gaugert screamed at Garrick Higgo to rush to the tee zone in the first round of the 2026 PGA Championship. However, the 27-year-old failed to reach the first hole on Thursday at the Aronimink Golf Club on time by just a few seconds. This led to a 2-stroke penalty, and 48 holes later, Higgo was left furious for missing the cut in his pursuit of the Wanamaker Trophy by just 1 stroke.

After a few hours of this, Higgo fired Gaugert. Even Gaugert, who started caddying at 16, admitted that he “fell short” of his duty as a bagman. Though the relationship between them has ended, they ended things on a cordial note.

“I want to say something about the incident with Garrick Higgo being late to the tee on Thursday at the PGA Championship. As a caddie, you try to do everything you can to prepare the player for competition, and I fell short of that,” Austin Gaugert said.

“Garrick was understanding throughout the situation and handled it with professionalism and class. This has happened to players before and will again. Garrick handled this difficult situation with grace, and I wish him nothing but success moving forward.”

It’s not only Gaugert who has moved on from the events of Aronimink. Higgo has also taken a step ahead in his career.

Things may have gotten complicated at the Aronimink Golf Club for Garrick Higgo and Austin Gaugert. But both of them are trying to move on at the Colonial Country Club. While Gaugert is working with Dylan Wu, Higgo has also found another bagman.

Garrick Higgo is playing the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge with Nick Cavendish-Pell carrying his golf bag. Higgo finished T19 in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with Cavendish-Pell as his partner at TPC Craig Ranch. So that partnership is clearly working for him.
