Harry admires his younger brother’s abilities on the bag and considers him one of the best caddies in the game. In the same way, he appreciates Alex for tolerating the nuances coming out of the player’s demonstrative personality.

Caddying is a profession that requires sacrifices. Alex made the headlines during the 2021 PGA Championship because of a huge sacrifice he made in fulfilling his duty.

The Higgs brothers have fun beyond the golf course. Alex regularly promises Harry an incentive in the form of cocktails or money based on his play throughout the round.
