With Phil, perhaps without Bones he doesn't make that putt at Augusta in 2004 and loses the playoff. Then he never breaks through at a major and finishes with zero instead of five. Butterfly Effect in a way, we just don't know.
This is the easy conclusion to make, but makes no logical sense. I could easily argue that Phil could have won a major well before his first one if he had a different caddy, and could have ended up with 10 majors by now.
