Dahmen Hires College Coach as Caddie
5 Jun
Summary
- Joel Dahmen hired Oregon State golf coach Jon Reehoorn as his new caddie.
- Reehoorn aims to help Dahmen regain his PGA Tour card, currently at No. 107.
- Reehoorn and Dahmen have a history dating back to their college days in Seattle.
Joel Dahmen, a PGA golfer, has named Jon Reehoorn, the men's golf coach at Oregon State, as his new caddie. Reehoorn concluded his 16-year tenure with the Beavers to facilitate this move, citing a desire for his family to be closer to relatives in the Seattle area. Reehoorn's coaching career saw the Oregon State program achieve significant success, including seven NCAA championship appearances and 10 team titles. He also coached numerous individual honorees.
Dahmen is currently striving to regain his full PGA Tour card. As of early June 2026, he sits at No. 107 in the FedEx Cup Standings, narrowly missing the top 100 cutoff required for full status. This transition follows Dahmen's difficult split from his longtime caddie and friend, Geno Bonnalie, last year. Dahmen has explored a caddie-by-committee approach this season, with Reehoorn now taking on the full-time role.
The pairing of Dahmen and Reehoorn has historical roots. They first crossed paths in Seattle around 2006-07 when Reehoorn was an assistant coach at the University of Washington and Dahmen was a freshman on the Husky golf team. Reehoorn then moved to the University of Idaho before leading the Oregon State program.
