After years of hype, the 2025 Ryder Cup will arrive at Bethpage Black next Friday, September 26. The event will end on Sunday, and a well-known Caddie-Tunter-TV analyst believes that the Ryder Cup captain should collide to end the celebration with an unconventional explosion.
That analyst is formerly longtime Phil Mickelson Jim Jim “Bone” Mackay shared his thoughts on Wednesday and predicted that if the captain followed closely, it would be both “the tradition of the Bucks” and “disappointing the house.”
Jim “Bone” McKay spends the traditional ending of the Ryder Cup
While Mackay is directly involved in many Ryder Cups on Mickelson’s bag, he is also cheering for Justin Thomas at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
However, Mackay will not be in the US team room at Bethpage Black this year. Instead, he will take on the role of NBC Sports in the course journalist.
NBC held a conference call with the NBC Sports Ryder Cup team on Wednesday. All five members of NBC’s Ryder Cup TV group – Dan Hicks, Brad Faxon, Paul McGinley, Smylie Kaufman and Mackay – competed.

Everyone provided some opening remarks before the question began, when Mackay said fourth, who gave up his big idea for Sunday’s Ryder Cup.
After announcing his excitement about the game, which he called “my favorite game… in all sports,” McKay used his time to reveal that his dream was Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald to get together and match World One’s Scottie Scheffler to second place in the world in Sunday’s singles competition.
“I’m going to say that I think I would be happy if we haven’t said it, if we were heading to Sunday, if things looked really close, if two captains Keegan Bradley and close friend Luke Donald [McIlroy] and Scottie [Scheffler] Play with each other in singles matches on Sunday.
McKay continued that if the captain put his ideas in, it would bring the excitement and interest level to another level.
“I think in a close Ryder Cup, basically putting the house down in the excitement that everyone sees on Sunday’s game and of course there’s a close game,” McKay said.
So, what is unique about Mackay’s Sunday single idea? It depends on how to determine Sunday’s singles match in the Ryder Cup.
After the second game at the Ryder Cup on Saturday, the captains made a final decision on when their respective players will play on Sunday’s singles match. All 12 players on each team must play singles, so eventually the captain decides what order to play on Sunday.
However, there is a crucial wrinkle in the process that influenced McKay’s idea: the captains did not choose Sunday games together. Instead, they choose the team’s private order without knowing what other captains are doing.

For example, Donald could decide that he wanted to start on his right foot with his best player McIlroy in the first game with his best player McIlroy. But Bradley would not be unclear about the decision. Bradley could decide that he wanted his best player, Scheffler, to lock in the finals in case of a tight score. In this case, McIlroy and Scheffler will play on the opposite end of the tee.
To get two top golfers to play each other on Sunday, Donald and Bradley will have to insert them into the same game blind.
Unless Donald and Bradley take McKay’s advice and break this rule by meeting together and planning a showdown.
“I think it’s really cool if they can find a way and the tradition of the bucks and see those guys playing with each other,” McKay said.
Rory McIlroy – Jim McKay Ryder Cup Controversy
As Mackay noted in his opening remarks, he has been in every Ryder Cup “within the ropes inside since 1993” and has been a Mickelson caddie for the most part.
But the 2023 Ryder Cup arrived when Mackay temporarily carried Ryder Cup Lieutenant Justin Thomas’ bag. This is the middle of McKay’s biggest controversy in the last Ryder Cup.
At the end of Saturday’s game, other European members Patrick Cantlay and other members of Cantlay’s caddie, Rory McIlroy, were caught in dust in the course when the U.S. frenzy festivities caught McIlroy’s frenzy.
The controversy also stripped the course. Later that night, McIlroy attended a parking lot yelling with someone from the U.S. team. In the video of this incident, McKay can be seen trying and failing to calm McIlroy down.
Eventually, Shane Lowry had to stop McIlroy from escalating this encounter, forcing him to fall into a polite car on standby.
