Who is Webb Simpson's wife? Meet Dowd Simpson
Webb Simpson's wife, Dowd, is caddying for him at this week's Wyndham Championship, a tournament close to their hearts.
Webb Simpson's wife Dowd Simpson is caddying for him at this week's Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour.
Simpson, 38, captured the first of his seven career PGA Tour titles at this week's tournament in 2011 at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina.
Dowd has caddied for her husband previously in three practice rounds at Augusta National ahead of The Masters, but never before in competition.
But Webb has now given his wife Dowd full responsbility of his bag at the 2024 Wyndham Championship.
The tournament has been one of Simpson's most successful through the years on the PGA Tour, having won here in 2011 on top of two runner-ups and 10 top-10 finishes.
Dowd and Webb also named their third eldest child Wyndham in honour of the tournament.
Both Webb and Dowd attended Wake Forest University too, which is located 30 minutes away from the golf course.
Webb's wife will be carrying his bag this week but will not be responsible for any of the yardages out there.

"He's not gonna ask me any numbers," Dowd said on the eve of the 2024 Wyndham Championship.
"I don't know how to do addition, subtraction. I don't even know what a yard is, so not gonna happen. I'm so bad with numbers. I'm terrible at math.
"I'm really hoping he doesn't get in any bunkers. I don't want to rake too many of those."
Webb echoed: "She did great in school except for math."
Dowd continued: "I've been reciting all of the things that a caddie does every night before I go to bed.
"So it's now just a matter of taking what I know and putting it into practice.
"You stay still, you keep quiet, don't step in anyone's line, and never pick up the ball."
