Matt Kuchar is still hearing it for his caddie debacle at the Mayakoba Golf Classic earlier this year.

Kuchar infamously paid a local replacement caddie $5,000 despite winning the tournament and taking home nearly $1.3 million. The golfer eventually apologized and paid caddie David Ortiz $50,000.

The 41-year-old opened the door to further chiding during Tuesday's Wyndham Rewards ceremony when said Rory McIlroy cost him $300,000 by finishing two points ahead of him in the top 10.

McIlroy hit back with a swift rebuttal.

"We all know what money means to him," he joked.
