Caddie Cliff Ellis quits during Biltmore Championship round with Tosti

During the opening round of the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, North Carolina, caddie Cliff Ellis abruptly left the course after a verbal disagreement with golfer Alejandro Tosti. Footage captured the heated argument before Ellis set down the bag and walked off. With no caddie, Tosti enlisted a spectator to help carry his bag and completed the round with an even-par 71, 1-over for the tournament. The incident reflects ongoing struggles in Tosti's challenging 2026 season, having made only four cuts in 21 starts and facing past controversies regarding his conduct on the course.
