This golf divorce is giving Johnny Depp-Amber Heard vibes.

A week ago Cliff Ellis, the caddie for erratic PGA Tour player Alejandro Tosti, stormed off the course in the middle of the opening round of the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, N.C.

Now, the sordid details have emerged — courtesy of The Morning Q golf blog — in a he-said he-said feud that spilled over after several troubled months on the course together.

The pair first started working together in May and through eight events, Tosti only made one cut.

Ellis and Tosti had disagreements over money and an unusual agreement where the caddie would get paid 6% of the golfer’s winnings without a weekly salary.

The Morning Q reported that the typical starting point for a caddie is $2,000 a week plus a percentage.

Tosti, 30, also had repeated outbursts on the course as the missed cuts built up.

Ellis said that Tosti “went crazy” multiple times during the opening round of the Rocket Classic, when he shot a miserable 82 and was warned multiple times by PGA Tour officials.

The breaking point came last week when Ellis claims he tried to calm Tosti after a poor pitch shot, only for the Argentinian to snap on him and say if he does that again he would get “really angry.”

Tosti, who sat with Morning Q reporter Ryan French for a nearly two-hour interview, disputed how that exchange took place.

Then on the next hole, after hitting a nice approach shot, Tosti questioned Ellis about why he had an umbrella in the bag.

Ellis said there was a slight chance of rain and Tosti responded by repeatedly calling him a “dumbass.”

Tosti denied those accusations to French and noted that he takes pride in “having the lightest bag on tour.”

Regardless, it was the last straw for Ellis who bolted the course and left Tosti to pull a fan from the crowd to carry his bag.

Tosti, who missed the cut at the event, said he returned to the Airbnr to find cigarette ashes in his bed, which he blames on Ellis.
