Who Is Celine Boutier's Caddie?
The French Major winner recently returned to a familiar face as her caddie, moving on from Jeffrey Snow in the summer of 2024
Celine Boutier turned professional in 2017 and has gone on to work with a handful of different caddies during that time. Her two most-recent loopers have alternated over the past few years, with Colin Cann sandwiching Jeffrey Snow on the Frenchwoman's bag.
The exact timeframe of both caddies' first stints is a little hazy, although Cann is certainly Boutier's current looper. He accompanied Boutier for the first time between August 2021 and 2022 and departed during the summer of 2023, with the pair winning the LPGA Drive On Championship together and possibly the Lacoste Ladies Open de France as well.
Boutier moved on to Snow around May 2023 and consequently landed her maiden Major championship in July after several near misses. The French star won the Evian Championship by six strokes from Brooke Henderson.
There was further success ahead after the 2023 Solheim Cup, with the now-30-year-old securing two more LPGA Tour titles prior to the season ending. A week after triumphing at the Evian Championship, Boutier won the Women's Scottish Open. In October 2023, she also won the Maybank Championship.
However, those titles were not enough to keep Boutier satisfied, and the former Duke University golfer ultimately returned to Cann - who had been Georgia Hall's looper for a time - prior to the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June 2024.
Cann has almost three decades of experience as a caddie and has worked with the likes of Annika Sorenstam, Se Ri Pak, and Dame Laura Davies - among many others.
Cann's longest caddie-player partnership was with American Paula Creamer, though. The pair had initially teamed up in 2004 before parting ways in November 2016 after the CME Group Tour Championship. Their highlight was Creamer's victory at the 2010 US Women's Open.

A keen golfer himself, Cann has been based in the States for around 20 years, the majority of which he has spent living in Seattle. He started playing golf at the age of 14 before turning his attention to caddie duties.
The Surrey-born looper lists his favorite golf course as Royal Birkdale and told PLTCA (Professional Ladies Tour Caddie Association) that his favorite part about being a caddie is: "building a partnership with a player, working together to help her to reach her full potential, and to be as good as she can be."
His career highlights have been winning the US Women's Open and being a part of winning Solheim Cup teams.
