After four years as an on-course reporter for NBC Sports and Golf Channel, Jim “Bones” Mackay will transition back to his original career as a caddie for Justin Thomas.
“It came out of left field very recently. I have just tremendous respect for [Thomas] as a person and a player,” Mackay told Golf Channel on Thursday. “It was an incredible phone call to get and I said yes.”
Mackay spent 25 years as Phil Mickelson’s caddie before transitioning to NBC Sports/Golf Channel in 2017.
He stepped in to caddie when Thomas’ regular caddie, Jimmy Johnson, was injured at the 2018 Sony Open.
