Golf Digest says two caddies will be announcing in the next PGA tournament, Friday and Saturday. One is Phil Mickelson's caddy. Will be interesting hearing what they have to say.

Quote

Golf announcing will introduce a fresh perspective this week when two of the PGA Tour’s most introspective and savvy caddies work parts of the RSM Classic broadcast. While former players are generally the go-to for networks looking to introduce viewers to new voices, the addition of veteran loopers as on-course reporters should give us fun insights into player-caddie thinking and a better sense of those delicate on-course moments.

Jim (Bones) Mackay, the longtime caddie for Phil Mickelson, and John Woods, soon to be picking up Matt Kuchar’s bag, have been hired by Golf Channel to work Friday's and Saturday’s RSM Classic telecasts from St. Simons Island. (Why not all four days, who knows.)

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Should be good to hear. I know most of the announcers have played some but hearing the other side of things will be a refreshing change. Hopefully I be able to hear the coverage hear in the UK.

I would pay to watch Bones and Stevie call some golf.  That would be awesome to get those two in a room together and let them call some golf.
