A week after Steven Alker disclosed that his caddie, Sam Workman, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Alker announced Thursday that Workman passed away earlier this week. Workman was 55.
"Words cannot describe the sudden passing of Sam Workman from his fight with cancer on February 6, 2023," Alker, the reigning Charles Schwab Cup champion, wrote in an Instagram post. "You will be missed by so many. It has been a privilege walking the fairways with you 'my man.'"
Workman, 55, picked up golf when he was 6 years old, he told The Caddie Network in 2022.
