They were a good team.   

Jim "Bones'' Mackay was at Erin Hills early last week, scouting the U.S. Open venue even though he knew it was unlikely that Phil Mickelson, his long-time boss, would play in the tournament.

It turns out that scouting mission would be Mackay's last in a 25-year run with Mickelson, during which Lefty would win 41 of his 42 PGA Tour events and all five major championships with Mackay carrying his bag.

Phil's game has slipped a fair share and he seems to be putting more of an emphasis on family than his golf.  Nothing wrong with that, but Bones likely has an offer from a younger, hungrier golfer and needs to move on.  He doesn't have the financial security that Phil does.

Any reason being given? This is surprising.  I know Bones had some health issues.

I wouldn't say that.

Im not sure how much Phil has "slipped".

Fwiw, Bone's net worth per the Google's is 2 mil
