Kevin Hart caddies during 2026 Masters Par 3 Contest

Comedian Kevin Hart is no stranger to extraordinary circumstances. However, the Hollywood star found himself somewhere he'd never been before ahead of the 2026 Masters Tournament: playing caddie for Bryson DeChambeau.

Hart, 46, was revealed as DeChambeau's caddie ahead of the Par 3 contest. The event is famous for being a family-friendly tradition ahead of the Masters Tournament, with many golfers having their children, family, or partners caddie for them as they play the short, nine-hole course.

From the moment he appeared on camera, Hart played the role flawlessly, expressing that he was not the Kevin Hart "known around the world," merely DeChambeau's caddie today, and "the best to ever caddie" at that.

Here are some of the highlights:

While Hart did express that he wanted to be the best caddie to ever caddie, he did end up taking DeChambeau's clubs for a test drive at the practice range. While this likely isn't the professionalism expected from most pro caddies, Hart can get a pass considering this was his first time.
