Bill Harke

Bill Harke, a Bay Area native, has been a dedicated caddie on various tours since 2004, bringing a wealth of experience and insight to the game. After graduating from Cal State Monterey Bay, where he played on the men’s golf team, Bill initially pursued a career in golf as a PGA Apprentice. However, when the opportunity to caddie on the LPGA Tour arose, he embraced it, kickstarting a successful career in professional golf.

Bill began his caddying journey with San Jose State University standout Janice Moodie, among others, on the LPGA Tour. In 2008, he transitioned to the Korn Ferry Tour, where he played a pivotal role in helping Cal grad Peter Tomasulo secure his PGA Tour Card. Since then, Bill has been a fixture on the PGA Tour, where his expertise and strategic insight have led to numerous highlights.

Notable among Bill’s achievements are his collaborations with Chris Kirk, resulting in victories at Sea Island in 2013 and the Deutsche Bank FedEx Cup Playoff event in 2014. He also celebrated wins with Jonas Blixt at the Greenbrier Classic in 2013 and the Zurich Classic in 2017, also with Min Woo Lee at the Genesis Scottish Open in 2021. A particularly memorable moment came when, after missing seven cuts in a row, Jonas Blixt asked Bill for a lesson; the following week, Jonas won the Greenbrier Classic and credited Bill for his victory.

Throughout his career, Bill has worked with a host of esteemed professionals, including Peter Lonard, Jarod Lyle, Tom Gillis, Sam Ryder, Matt Every, Paul Casey, James Hahn, Ryan Moore, and currently, Taylor Montgomery. His proximity to the best players and instructors in the world over the past 20 years has endowed him with a vast knowledge of all aspects of the game.

On his weeks off, Bill is sharing his extensive experience and insights as a golf instructor. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your game or seeking strategic guidance on the course, Bill offers personalized training sessions at Corica Park.
