Jordan Spieth's caddie and former sixth-grade teacher, Michael Greller, has likely made $2 million this season. Yeah, just let that sink in.

Greller's earnings would rank 39th on the PGA Tour money list, as the Big Lead's Michael Shamburger determined—not a bad deal for someone who left a stable career to gamble on the then-top-ranked amateur golfer.

Based on the $50,000 starting salary for Dallas teachers, per the Dallas Morning News, it would take Greller decades to earn as much as he was estimated to have pocketed in 25 PGA Tour events with Spieth.
