Thongchai Jaidee and caddie Clifford Picking have parted ways after a highly successful spell, his handlers said yesterday.
The 45-year-old Thai and the English caddie started their partnership just two weeks before Thongchai won the 2012 Wales Open, his fifth European Tour win and first on European soil.
Picking also carried Thongchai's bag when he won his sixth European Tour title at the Nordea Masters in Sweden last June.
"They have decided to part company on mutual consent," one of Thongchai's handlers from IMG said.
During their partnership, Thongchai shot to a career best 33rd in the world ranking last year.
Their last tournament was the WGC-Cadillac Championship where Thongchai finished 69th in the 73-player field.
Thongchai, currently 43rd in the world, has reunited with his friend Phosom Meephosom who worked with him early in his career.
The three-time Asian Tour No.1 is now in his final preparation for his fourth appearance next week's Masters.
He qualified for Augusta thanks to his top-50 place in the world ranking at the end of last year.
In his three attempts at the year's first major, the Lop Buri native made the cut only once when he finished tied for 37th last year.
