Why you'll hear more from Phil Mickelson's caddie than ever next week

Golf fans have heard plenty of conversations between Phil Mickelson and caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay through the years. And next week, they'll get to hear a lot more from the longtime looper.

Golf Channel has hired Mackay -- as well as Matt Kuchar's caddie, John Wood -- to work as on-course reporters during the RSM Classic, the last official event of the fall portion of the PGA Tour's 2015-16 season. Both Mickelson and Kuchar are not in the field at Sea Island.
