‘BONES’ GOES FROM MICKELSON CADDIE TO TV

It didn’t take long for Jim

“Bones” Mackay to get another job after parting ways with Phil Mickelson. Mickelson’s former caddie will join the Golf Channel and NBC as an on-course reporter, the network announced Thursday. He will cover the Brit- ish Open this month, the FedExCup playoffs at the end of the season and Presidents Cup. NBC says it’s the first time a full-time PGA Tour caddie has been signed for a tournament broadcasting role. But it’s not Mackay’s first time working in broadcast. He worked alongside John

“Woody” Wood during Golf Channel’s coverage of the 2015 RSM Classic. Last month Mackay and Mickelson stunned the golf world when they announced they’d no longer be working together after a 25-year partnership, saying it was “time for a change.”
