What was the date they started dating?

The pair got together in 2015

They were introduced to each other by Graham Wylie, Westwood's friend and who is also married to Storey's sibling.

Why didn't Helen serve as Westwood's caddie at the Ryder Cup

He revealed that he was going to take his son Sam to The Players Championship after slipping to second in March's tournament.

Helen won't be carrying Lee’s bag to The Masters

He said, "I have a couple of fun days ahead. My son Sam and I will be playing Augusta.

"He was there for me many years ago, but he's now caddying for my this year at the Masters."

Westwood fulfilled a promise he had made for two years by taking Sam with him.

Westwood announced in January 2019 that Sam would be carrying his bag to help him get back into the top 50 and qualify to the tournament.

Sam clearly had an impact on Westwood's game. The British star confirmed that he would be his caddy again at the 2021 Ryder Cup.
