Cameron Young’s professional career has been interesting, to say the least.
After turning professional in 2019, he had spells on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica and the Korn Ferry Tour before graduating to the PGA Tour in 2021.
It didn’t take long for his class to show, with numerous runner-up placings in a hugely impressive first season that finished with him being named the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
At that point, a maiden win on the circuit seemed imminent, but instead, it took until the 2025 Wyndham Championship for it to arrive in his 94th PGA Tour start.
Earlier that year, Young’s career had been going backwards, and he even slumping to as low as 67th in the world rankings – until he turned to former Wake Forest University teammate Kyle Sterbinsky as his caddie for the Truist Championship.
Young’s upturn in form can be traced to that event, where he finished T7 before racking up two T4s at the RBC Canadian Open and US Open, with his long-awaited victory finally coming that August.
By the turn of the year, Young, with Sterbinsky’s assistance, was back in the world’s top 20, and the two have taken their success to another level since – as well claiming some big paydays along the way.
The biggest win of Young’s career came at The Players Championship, while another milestone title came at the inaugural Cadillac Championship for his first victory in a Signature Event.

Caddies typically earn 10% of their boss’s prize money for a win, 7% for a top-10 finish and 5% for other positions after making the cut.
So, assuming those figures are true for Young and Sterbinsky, how much money has the caddie earned this year?
Young’s year began with a T22 at the Farmers Insurance Open, earning $92,640. Of that, Sterbinsky will have picked up an estimated $4,632.
The following month, Young produced a T41 at the WM Phoenix Open. A payment of $34,080 came his way,…
