Thomas, a 15-time Tour winner, brought Mackay on board in 2021 after his stint as an on-course reporter for NBC Sports, following a long partnership with Phil Mickelson. Before that, Thomas had collaborated with veteran caddie Jimmy Johnson.

Thomas expressed his gratitude for Mackay’s time on his bag in 2021 and the success they achieved together, including winning the PGA Championship in 2022, participating in the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cups.
