CADDIE CAMEOS
As Brenden Martin (right) enjoys his run on the NBC reality show I Want to Be a Hilton--he's made it through four rounds--the 31-year-old Denverite and regular looper at Castle Pines Golf Club is threatening to become the world's best-known caddie. Here's the competition.

Name | Player | Claim | Prospects |
1  Mike (Fluff) Cowan | Jim Furyk | As Tiger's first bag man, he starred in commercials, made an instructional video and had his own website. | The new mellow Fluff has traded TV face time for TV dinners and family life. |
2  Steve Williams | Tiger Woods | Skulking around behind Woods, abusing fans and photographers and crashing his race car. | Woods canned Cowan for getting too big, so don't expect to see Stevie on Celebrity Jeopardy anytime soon. |
3  Bruce Edwards | Tom Watson | Gained a measure of fame during his courageous struggle with ALS. | John Feinstein's book about him, Caddie for Life: The Bruce Edwards Story, came out in paperback in May. |
4  Angelo Argea | Jack Nicklaus | His unmistakable silver Afro was a fixture alongside Nicklaus for 25 years; later opened a restaurant and wrote a book about his life with Jack. | The 75-year-old Argea has cut his hair, ruining any chance he had of playing Moses in the remake of The Greatest Story Ever Told. |
5  Herman Mitchell | Lee Trevino | He was a regular in commercials and at charity events with Trevino throughout his career. | Trevino continued to pay Mitchell, a member of the Caddie Hall of Fame, until his death in 2004. |
