Mickelson and Caddie Break Up

I was surprised to see that Phil Mickelson and caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay are splitting up after 25 years.

Still plenty of money out there for Bones to make.

Yes, absolutely. It may end up being a good thing for Bones. Mickelson is definitely beyond his prime. I'm not saying that he's not still capable of winning or even winning a major, but he hasn't been winning the last couple of years. And I doubt he has a ton of wins left in him. Bones may end up getting some rising star who wins far more over the next 5-10 years than Phil. I would certainly think that a caddie with Bones' resume would be in high demand. I don't think he will have any problem finding either a top player, or at least a top prospect.

Phil "FIGJAM" is a snake. Bones is much better off with the TV gig and no bag to tote.
