Caddie shorts policy

After caddie Garland Dempsey collapsed at the Western Open in early July, [1] the PGA Tour allowed male caddies, on a trial basis, to wear shorts on extremely hot days. [2] Two years earlier, the USGA changed its policy and allowed caddies to wear shorts at the U.S. Open in June 1997. [3]
