End of an era for Phil and ‘Bones’

Los Angeles – Phil Mickelson and longtime caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay have mutually agreed to part ways after a 25-year relationship, one of the game’s most popular duos announced on Tuesday.

Since teaming up at a US Open sectional qualifier in 1992, Mickelson and Mackay combined for 41 PGA Tour wins, including five Major titles.

“Our decision is not based on a single incident. We just feel it’s the right time for a change,” Mickelson, 47, said in a statement.
