Justin Thomas is one of the most
accomplished American golfers in the
last decade and has added multiple PGA
Tour titles to his to major wins at the
PGA Championship he was born on April
29th 1993 in Louisville Kentucky and his
golfing Journey began at North Alam
middle school but what really set him
apart was his incredible Talent even
before he reached his junior year of
high school Thomas Made Headlines by
comp competing in the Windam
Championship on the PGA tour in August
2009 at just 16 years 3 months and 24
days old he became the third youngest
player ever to make the cut in a PGA
Tour event showing off his huge
potential and up until April 20124
Thomas had one of the most recognizable
caddies in the world on his bag Jim
bones maai who was on Phil mikkelson’s
bag for 25 years became Justin Thomas KY
in 2021 Maki split with mikkelson in
2017
and began working as a commentator for
NBC and the Golf Channel but he picked
up Thomas Bay after the player parted
company with his old bman Jimmy Johnson
since then he’s seen Thomas rise to the
very top of the game and was on the bag
when he won his first PGA Championship
Crown in 2017 he had also worked for the
likes of Nick price Adam Scott and Steve
Stricker mcky who first began caddying
for mikkelson back in 1992 and won five
majors in a garlanded stint is one of
the most venerable figures on the PGA
tour he helped Thomas when his second
major the PGA Championship at Southern
Hills in 2022 when asked after that win
why he wanted to team up with Thomas
Makai said because I really like him and
I think he’s got more shots than anybody
on the tour I’m not saying you know he’s
you know this or that I’m saying in his
arsenal of shots he’s got more shots
than anybody I’ve seen out here
currently high low left right whatever
hands around the green the guy’s really
really good and I wanted to be around it
by that point Justin had truly become a
golfing sensation in the 2016 to 17 PGA
Tour season he absolutely dominated with
five wins his first major victory
snatching the FedEx cop championship and
even snagging the title of player of the
year but that was just the beginning of
his vertical takeoff skipping ahead to
the 2021 Ryder Cup where Justin proudly
represented the US team and helped
secure a resounding Victory with his
Stellar performance in the 2021 22 PGA
Tour season Justin brought in the
legendary bones Makai as his new caddy
adding even more Buzz to his already
electrifying Journey on May 22nd 2022
Justin cemented his status as a golfing
Icon by clenching his second major and
second PGA Championship in a heart
stopping playoff against Wile aurus it
looked like his golfing J Journey was
shaping up to be an epic tale of
thrilling victories jaw-dropping records
and non-stop excitement but alas every
hero faces their challenges and for
Justin that came in the form of his
abysmal 2023 season 2024 was shaping up
to be a Redemption story until on
Wednesday April 3rd just days before he
was set to Jet off to Georgia for
Masters Thomas dropped a bombshell on
social media he and maai were parting
ways after 3 years the announcement
caught many off guard especially
considering the timing and the lack of
any hints of trouble brewing in Paradise
in his statement Thomas paid tribute to
Mai and thanked him for all his work
suggesting there hadn’t been a personal
Fallout between them he wrote while
incredibly difficult for me to say bones
and I have parted ways I’m going to be
forever thankful for him joining me in
2021 the things we’ve been able to
accomplish together the PGA Championship
in 2022 the President’s Cup the rider
cups were all Unforgettable experiences
both Justin Thomas and Bones McKai have
kept mum about their split instead
Thomas has confirmed that he’ll be
teaming up with Matt Minister for the
2020 for season Butch hman the legendary
coach shared his surprise with golf
magic calling it very unusual for Justin
to part ways with bones just one week
before a major tournament hman mentioned
exchanging a few text messages with Mai
but the caddy didn’t offer much insight
into the reasons behind the split I was
shocked at that hman said bones has
caded for JT for a few years now they’ve
had to major championship wins and he’s
been with Phil Mickelson for 25 years so
he couldn’t understand why one of the
best caddies in the game was kicked to
the curb this way hman talked to Bones
through text but he didn’t really let on
what happened or why it happened so
we’ve got to wait until one of them
decides to let us know what the reason
is as you can imagine the golfing
Community was taken back by the news of
the split happening just before the
first major of the year it seemed
unusual typically such changes would
come after a major tournament not right
before starting a major championship
with a new caddy is quite rare which
added to the surprise the unexpected
timing left the community scratching
their heads setting off a whirlwind of
Gossip the juiciest Theory Jim might
have just traded in his CAD bib for a
broadcaster’s mic feeling ready for a
change of pace since it looks like bones
is now gearing up to lend his voice to
the upcoming amateur contest
Josh Carpenter spilled the beans on
Twitter revealing that Makai would be
NBC’s on course reporter for thewa this
week but wait there’s more he even
hinted at what a dynamic duo Makai and
John would would make his full-time
walking reporters interestingly being an
OnCourse reporter isn’t new territory
for the caddy why because after spending
a Hing 25 years as Phil melson’s trusty
bman McKai briefly dabbled in golf
analysis for NBC before teaming up with
Justin and Thomas on the greens my
personal favorite theory is that Jim
just had enough of hearing the golfer
hne and decided to call it quits the
other rumor is that Justin Thomas
longtime swing coach and father are
pulling the strings and controlling his
son Thomas isn’t just your average
golfer he’s a force of nature with a
cocktail of talent Precision grit and a
competitive nature but behind every
great golfer there’s a secret weapon his
coach and father Mike Thomas Mike has
been Justin’s wingman since day one
molding him into the golfing Powerhouse
he is today together they’ve tackled
Fairways and greens weather triumphs and
setbacks and climbed the dizzying
heights of the golfing world but now
whispers are swirling in the media about
Justin needing to break free from his
father’s tight grip and carve out his
own path on the golf course why you
might ask well Justin’s earned himself a
reputation as a bit of a daddy’s boy
rumor has it that Mike’s been pulling
the strings behind the scenes since day
one so naturally folks are starting to
wonder if this split is just another one
of Mike’s Master plans it’s like de javu
all over again because just last year he
suddenly parted ways with pudding coach
John Graham and who was at the center of
the controversy you guessed it his
father but will Justin seize this recent
opportunity to break free from his
father’s Shadow and what about his new
partnership with Matt Minister will it
lead to Greater
success we want to hear your theories
