Together for 25 years and more than 600 golf tournaments, Phil Mickelson and caddie Jim ”Bones” Mackay are moving on.
In a surprising email just two days after the U.S. Open that Mickelson didn’t play, they said the decision to part ways was mutual and not based on any one incident.
”We just feel it’s the right time for a change,” Mickelson said.
They were apart the last time they were together. Mickelson was home in California to attend his daughter’s high school graduation, while Mackay was at Erin Hills in Wisconsin taking notes and scouting the course just in case a weather delay would have allowed Mickelson to make his tee time.
