Phil Mickelson’s brother, Tim is retiring from being his caddie. The golfer known as Lefty has had his brother on the bag for some time now, and the two have shared plenty of epic career moments. Mickelson has an iconic career with multiple Major wins and more than a few special victories otherwise, and his brother has been a part of so many of them.
Mickelson shared a touching tribute on the end of he and his brother’s ride together on his X (formerly Twitter) page:
“I’ve had some great accomplishments in my career and getting to share them with my brother Tim has been beyond special. I’m very lucky to have had him on the bag for me the past eight years and as my brother for life.”
Mickelson said that so much of his life has changed since they started working together. His brother was single then, but he and his wife Maranda now have two children together. The legendary golfer hopes their family continues to grow. He finished by saying:
“While Tim is retiring from caddying, I’ll always cherish the many great moments we’ve shared on the course and I look forward to many more special moments off the course too.”
Mickelson will likely to tee off at LIV Golf Miami next weekend, and if not, and he will probably resurface at the Masters at Augusta National the week after. He will have a new caddie then, since his brother is calling it a career.
