Phil Mickelson Once Viciously Trolled Bryson DeChambeau Over an Unfortunate Incident

Bryson DeChambeau and his caddie Tim Tucker parted ways during a golf tournament. The news surprised the golf world since neither the golfer nor the caddie revealed the reason for the sudden move. However, what really amused everyone was how the 6-time major champion Phil Mickelson took the blame on himself.  

Tucker was part of DeChambeau’s team when he attended practiced at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic on Wednesday. However, according to reports, the two decided not to work together anymore on the same night.

“They have gone their separate ways for now,” DeChambeau’s agent revealed. Additionally, he stated, “they just decided the best situation for now was essentially to not be together anymore.”

Notably, DeChambeau won all of his 8 PGA Tour titles and the 2020 US Open with Tucker on his bag.

Parting with a caddie is never easy when the golfer had great success with him on the bag. However, the golf world found funny ways to interpret the situation, especially after Phil Mickelson, the 2021 PGA Championship winner, said something funny.

Phil Mickelson found himself guilty of DeChambeau firing his caddie

Mickelson wrote “it was just an 8 iron” as a comment on the news on Twitter. It was all the golf world needed to understand the meaning behind it. 

The 52-year-old golfer referred to the time when he took the 8-iron from DeChambeau’s bag and slightly bent it with his knee during their practice session. Mickelson had shared the prank video on his social media page. 

His witty comment on the DeChambeau-Tucker news reached many, and most of them found it hilarious. 

Of course, Mickelson’s comment was a joke. And he might have done it as part of the promotion ahead of his and DeChambeau’s ‘The Match’, which was scheduled for the week after Rocket Mortgage Classic.

However, the golf world loved how the golfer made it look like his mistake could have led DeChambeau to fire his caddie.

Who caddies for Bryson DeChambeau now? 

After his sudden split with Tim Tucker, DeChambeau hired Ben Schomin to carry his bag as a temporary solution.  Schomin is the tour operation manager of Cobra Golf, one of the sponsoring brands of the golfer. However, after ‘The Match’ against Mickelson, he replaced Schomin with Brian Zeigler. 

Notably, he hasn’t won a championship title with his new caddie. However, he had once brought attention to the team when he once wore colorful socks to a golf event. 

Mickelson is known for being a jokester on the PGA Tour. And he lived up to the expectation with his funny take on DeChambeau and Tucker parting ways.
