Matt Kuchar has apologised in a lengthy statement and has said he will pay temporary caddie David Ortiz $50,000 after winning the Mayakoba Golf Classic in November.
World No 22 Kuchar collected a cheque for $1.3million but Ortiz received just $5,000 for helping the American to the title - a move Kuchar was widely criticised for with caddies usually taking 10 per cent depending on their arrangement with the player.
In response to the story going public Kuchar said he would 'not be losing sleep' over the payment row, but has now looked to accept his error as he confirms Ortiz will be given a fair fee.
