Phil and Bones parting ways after 25 years! (MERGED)

[grm24]

Rahm shoots down caddie switch rumors.

 

http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-central-blog/rahm-shuts-down-rumor-teaming-bones

 

"I just wanted to clarify a couple things I've read on social media," Rahm said. "The rumor about me and Bones is both really unfair and untrue. I love the relationship with my caddie, Adam Hayes. He's a great guy, we work well together. There's no way I would ever change it."

[Colonel_Steelhead]

All great partnerships end. Been a fantastic run arguably the best pairing ever this side of Woods-Williams.

 

Guessing you never heard of Jack Nicklaus and Angelo Argea

Guessing you don't understand the word arguably. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/arguably

The day the music died.

 

No shot at a grand slam now. With brother on the bag. Historically brothers don't work well together. ( I have two and tried it. It doesn't work ) .

 

 

Weird. I'm having thoughts now that i may have never been a phil fan. Maybe it was bones all along. My whole golf fan foundation is shaken.

 

Things come in 3s.

Who's third on the list. ?

 

Lydia Ko. She fired her parents.

The fact that Bones put up with FIGJAM for 25 years should make him an automatic candidate for Sainthood.

2006 called. They want their post back.

I hope LaCava wakes up and hitches the wagon to Phil

 

I was thinking this too but I bet Tiger is taking good care of him. Getting paid while spending time with the fam is tough to beat.

 

Yeah Tiger has always been "generous" with his money..

[cdnglf]

Phil has earned $83M on tour during his career, 7-10% of which has presumably gone to Bones.

Let's call it $7M - which would rank him 230th all-time on the PGA Tour. Throw in events on other tours, exhibitions, fedex bonus money, endorsements, etc and he's probably made about $10M during his carer. Not bad.

[sandy]

Phil should call and see if Stevie Williams is available. Could be the first on course fight between caddy and player..

[jslane57]

Doesn't make much sense, it's highly unlikely a new caddy can change Phil's results at age 47.

You just never know...

[moonshine]

Hey if Stevie can move on.....

Ugly troll post, and the whole figjam thing has been over for years.

If I'm Spieth, I at least put out feelers to Bones. I'd dump Greller in a heartbeat for Bones.

 

Greller isn't the problem for Spieth.

Just like Bones isn't the problem for Phil. You just never know...

I mean yeah, I could see Spieth making that move. But I think his problems aren't anything to do with a caddie. The guy stopped putting like God and it has brought him back down to Earth. Different caddie won't fix this.

id pay good money to see a left hook to Stevies face!

[hurricanes7]

who wins that fight

Alright so go ahead and provide a logical reason why Joe hasn't picked up another bag. The dude was on DJ's bag and now hasn't cashed a check in what, two years? I think not.

[J13]

Bones should go to Rory and see if he can get him to give a crap about golf again.

[slimeone]

I am your father, Bones. Join me, and together we can rule.

 

If Tiger is Darth Vader then who is The Emperor? Steinberg?!

You sure about that? Might want to check the stats

[A.G.Blade]

Very sad to hear this, but both are class acts and will be excellent with their new partners, whoever they may be.

[worldslasttwfan]

Bones will be an excellent on site commentator.

[hurricanes7]

how about bones in the booth, he knows every course like the back of his hand

I used to be a Mickelson fan. The way he treated Tom Watson at the Ryder Cup ended it for me.

 

The fact that anyone can still root for him after that is beyond me. It was beyond classless.

And you thought my post was beyond played.

 

But hey, nice try.

[jph4387]

Maybe Phil had to forfeit Bones as a plea bargain for insider trading? He was arguably his most valuable asset :).

[bscinstnct]

who wins that fight

 

Well, Johnny Miller beat phil in arm wrestling.

 

And Phil said he knows kung fu.

 

But somehow I dont think Phil could beat a fly...with no wings ; )

I like watson... But he earned that treatment .. If you proclaim my way or the highway to the whole crowd , the law of averages says at least one will buck you.... and when Phil is in that bunch the odds go way up...as i can remember he only told the truth... if any falsehoods were reported by Phil im all ears

might want to ask Feherty about that one..lol

[BlackDiamondPar5]

I think this was coming sooner or later. Bones knee issues probably give him a ton of discomfort on the course and its been visible since he returned from surgery. I think its just time for him to hang up the bag and enjoy retirement. I don't think we will see him on anybody else's bag.

Agreed. Probably has $10M in career earnings plus 2 replacement knees equals on to new frontiers. No need to walk 40 miles per week carrying a heavy bag. Wouldn't surprise me if he does some on course commentary or sports photography.

On a recent podcast, Kip Henley said Greller was excellent. Doubt that happens.

 

if dj picked up bones he may not lose for a year or so
