Joel Dahmen Parts Ways With Longtime Caddie Geno Bonnalie

Citing the need for a fresh perspective, he plans to field a yet-to-be-named caddie at the Barracuda Championship to boost his bid for a top-100 FedEx Cup ranking.

Joel Dahmen of the United States and caddie Geno Bonnalie walk down the 14th fairway during the final round of the Corales Puntacana Championship 2025 at Puntacana Resort & Club, Corales Golf Course on April 20, 2025 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Overview

  • Joel Dahmen confirmed on July 15 that he has ended his 10-year professional partnership with childhood friend Geno Bonnalie and said their friendship remains unchanged.
  • The pair rose together from the Korn Ferry Tour to PGA Tour prominence, with Bonnalie on the bag for Dahmen’s only win at the 2021 Corales Puntacana Championship.
  • Dahmen has struggled this season, sliding to 172nd in the Official World Golf Ranking and missing the cut in 12 of 19 starts.
  • The PGA Tour will grant full status only to the top 100 FedEx Cup finishers in 2026, escalating Dahmen’s urgency to climb the standings.
  • He will debut this week at the Barracuda Championship with an undisclosed new caddie as he fights to secure his tour card for next season.
