That is sad and surprising.

Kind of thought that this relationship was going to last forever. Of course, Peter Jacobson and Fluff were nearly inseparable until Peter encouraged Fluff to take Tiger's offer. Could be that one of the big young guns was looking to get Bones on the bag and Phil is playing time is winding down. Would not surprise me to see an announcement very soon that Bones is on some young stud's bag.

Just two "good guys" that formed a professional and personal relationship that we, the fans, had the opportunity to witness.

I hope Bones is not seriously ill................that was my first thought.

If Phil doesn't use his brother he'll have to find someone else who speaks Pelz.

Perhaps brother, Tim needed the job while his fledgling golf agent business gets off the ground.

I am waiting to see more details on this one ... I think Phil will reduce his schedule, and add into the mix he has not won in a while. I am sure (hope) they remain friends.

What a team! Loved watching them discuss shots.

I found that annoying as hell. Hit the ball already!

To each their own, I found it awesome that they knew each other well enough and the courses well enough to put it all in the machine and spit out a club, swing and all that.

One of my favorite parts of the golf telecasts is the exchange between players and caddies.

Just read that Phil's brother Tim will have the bag the remainder of the year. They got Rahm's approval beforehand.

That should work!
