The American Music Awards nominations are in, and some notable newcomers are neck-and-neck with music's biggest heavyweights.

The full nominations for the 52nd annual show were announced on Tuesday, April 14, revealing Taylor Swift leading the pack with eight nods for her "Life of a Showgirl" album. The awards ceremony, hosted by Queen Latifah on May 25, will likely see Swift add more jewels to her crown — the music superstar already boasts the most wins in AMAs history.

As Justin Rose looks to win his first Masters after his finishing second at the tournament three times, he’ll be supported by his longtime caddie Mark Fulcher.

Rose and Fulcher, who often goes by the nickname “Fooch,” began working together in 2008, and Fulcher was on Rose’s bag until 2019. That year, he underwent heart surgery and had to take a leave of absence from the job. In September 2023, Fulcher and Rose reunited, and have been back together ever since.

“We were together for so long and had the appropriate amount of time apart as well, you know,” Rose said at the time. “We both had the opportunity to go and do different things, experience different things and learn, then come back together with the previous ten or eleven years done and dusted and with a new goal of seeing what else we can achieve. We’re not trying to rekindle anything or live up to what’s been in the past because we have new challenges and it should be fun.”

Fulcher added, “I hadn’t thought about it at all, but as soon as we spoke it was an easy decision to make. Not only is he my boss but he’s very close to my heart, too, and if we can enjoy a couple more special moments together on the course then it’ll be well worth it.”

Here’s what to know about Justin Rose’s caddie Mark Fulcher:

He’s from England.

Like Rose, he’s an Englishman and now lives in America. He’s married to Adrienne Taylor, and they live in Palm Beach Gardens.

Fulcher has two dogs.

His pups Rio and Milly often feature on his Instagram:

Fulcher underwent heart surgery in 2019.

In 2019, he had surgery to repair the mitral valve in his heart at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. “I was very, very grateful to find it and for the friends who helped me getting into surgery,” Fulcher said. “It was just remarkable. I'm incredibly grateful.”

He briefly worked with other golfers.

After returning from his health leave, he briefly caddied for Francesco Molinari, Paul Casey on LIV, and Billy Horschel, before reuniting with Rose.

Fooch and Rose have a strong relationship.

“It’s just a delicate balance, isn’t it,” Rose said about his work with his caddie during the 2026 Masters. “If someone interjects and puts an idea in there that's not your own, it's very hard to then commit to it. So we have this sort of relationship where I need to see it; I need to drive the vision of what we want to do.”

Vought Rising boss breaks down new supe suits, teases possible Gen V crossover

Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), Private Angel (Elizabeth Posey), and Torpedo (Will Hochman) on 'Vought Rising'. Credit:

- Here are all the *Vought Rising* references on *The Boys* season 5.

- The 1950s-set prequel stars Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Stormfront (once known as Clara Vought/Liberty).

- Other main *Vought Rising* players Bombsight (Mason Dye), Torpedo (Will Hochman), and Private Angel (Elizabeth Posey) are all referenced.

**This article contains spoilers from *The Boys* season 5, episode 3, "Every One of You Sons of Bitches."**

*The Boys* may be ending, but season 5 signals where the VCU (Vought Cinematic Universe) goes from here.

Starting with episode 3, titled "Every One of You Sons of Bitches," the final season includes overt nods to the events of *Vought Rising*, the next spinoff series coming to Prime Video following the college-set *Gen V*. Set in 1950s New York City at the dawn of the superhero age, the prequel will chronicle the beginnings of the Vought Corporation and the early exploits of Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy and Aya Cash's Stormfront, previously known as Clara Vought.

Ackles maintains a steady presence on *The Boys* season 5, but the third episode references the new spinoff's other main characters, including Clara, Bombsight (Mason Dye), Torpedo (Will Hochman), and Private Angel (Elizabeth Posey).

As explained by Dr. Sameer Shah (Omid Abtahi) and Sister Sage (Susan Heyward), all five were the first successful test subjects (and survivors) of V1, the first iteration of Compound V. It's considered highly unstable, hence all the dead subjects, but it's also 10 times more potent than the superpower-granting serum of the present day. It's why the supes from this era never age.

Stormfront/Clara, the wife of Nazi Vought founder Frederick Vought, was the very first V1 test subject. She later became the supe Liberty before she disappeared for decades and reemerged during the events of *The Boys* season 2 as the plasma-blasting Stormfront. Soldier Boy's reaction to Clara's name on "Every One of You Sons of Bitches" hints at their history.

The episode also reveals the existence of Fort Harmony, a now-abandoned army hospital where Frederick Vought worked. The government classified the site as top secret and decommissioned it after World War II. MM (Laz Alonso) theorizes it's where Vought tested V1.

Jack Quaid says goodbye to 'The Boys': 'It's gonna be pretty gruesome'

Other *Vought Rising* references are on the way as *The Boys* season 5 progresses. Dye is set to make an appearance as Bombsight at some point, ** previously reported.

Addressing all the prequel callouts on the mothership drama, *The Boys* showrunner Eric Kripke told EW, "We started with 'Homelander wants to be a god.' Well, there are immortal characters in the show. That's Soldier Boy, that's Stormfront, there's these characters who got these early doses of Compound V. So what was that? Let's go back to the very beginning of what Vought was starting, which was not a huge concern of the storylines in *Vought Rising*, but we just thought it was interesting. So it all happened organically."

Kripke describes *Vought Rising*, spearheaded by Paul Grellong, as "*L.A. Confidential* with superheroes. Maybe grimier. Probably, definitely grimier."

"It's a murder-mystery," he said, "and it's got that noir-ish — not Black Noir, but actual noir — movin' through the streets and femme fatales and detectives, but also heroin dens and gay bars and pill-popping and famous people. So it's got a real learned, fun, pulpy vibe that gives it its own energy. It feels like a *Pulp Fiction*-y kind of mystery-story."

Filming on season 1 of *Vought Rising* already wrapped, though a premiere date has not been confirmed. If the show continues for multiple seasons, Kripke teased "we've discussed" bringing back Ethan Slater to play Thomas Godolkin, the founder of Godolkin University with the power of mind control, who first appeared on *Gen V*. "I think we'd be insane to not put Ethan Slater's character in that show," Kripke said.

New episodes of *The Boys* season 5 drop Tuesdays on Prime Video.
