Rory McIlroy's caddie

Harry Diamond is Rory McIlroy's caddie as of June 2024.


When McIlroy and JP Fitzgerald parted ways after eight years and four majors together, McIlroy and Diamond partnered up in 2017. They were believed to be in a temporary partnership, and many believed that McIlroy would look for a looper with more experience, but they have remained ever since.


At the 2019 DP World Championship in Dubai, McIlroy's pal Nail O'Connor, an avid golfer who was also an Ulster rugby player, caddied for him, as Diamond was expecting a second child with his wife.


As a young player, Diamond represented Ireland and qualified for the Irish Open in 2012 after winning the West of Ireland Championship. Diamond was not only McIlroy's looper but also his best man during his boss's 2017 marriage to Erica Stoll.
