Jimmy Roberts

Inducted in 2025

Jimmy Roberts grew up in White Plains, New York, and caddied as a teenager at Fenway Golf Club, Ridgeway Country Club and Westchester Hills Country Club. A University of Maryland Alum, he went on to become a 16-time Emmy award-winning broadcaster and writer, and since 2000, has been a fixture at NBC Sports. He’s the author of two books, “Breaking the Slump” and “No One Wins Alone” with Mark Messier.


Roberts was inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame during the 2025 BMW Championship, at a special event celebrating caddies. Nearly 100 guests were in attendance, including PGA TOUR caddies Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay and John Wood, who made the presentation.

“I’m really touched,” Roberts said. “I’m really proud to have been a caddie. It’s a big part of who I am. I learned so much of what to do and what not to do.”

As a broadcaster, Roberts has been a strong and integral advocate of youth caddies and the Evans Scholars Program. Over the last two decades, he has spent time with Scholars and their families and told dozens of stories of the impact of the scholarship that have aired during BMW Championship week.

“When I was a kid, I used to get in trouble for telling stories, and as an adult, I seemed to have found a way to make a living,” he said. “But over the years, I can honestly say that no stories have touched me like the stories of the Evans Scholars. They are the best of us. (They) are the real Hall of Famers.”

For his time spent caddying as a young man and his use of caddying as a steppingstone to professional success, Roberts earned a place in the Caddie Hall of Fame, which recognizes individuals who support caddying.
