Andy Martinez caddied for some of the most successful players in the history of the game and remains an ambassador for caddying and the role of caddies in the game of golf.

A native of San Pedro, CA, Martinez has worked alongside some of the game’s most successful players over the past 50 years. He began looping on the PGA TOUR for Grier Jones in 1968 before spending 12 years alongside Johnny Miller. Martinez was on the bag when Miller became the first player ever to shoot 63 in a major championship to win the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. In 1992, Martinez was hired by Tom Lehman and, together, they won the 1996 Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, as well as more than 30 PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions events over 23 years.

For his work promoting the important role of caddies in the game of golf, Andy Martinez earned a place in the Caddie Hall of Fame, which recognizes individuals who support caddying.
