Controversy

Phil Mickelson’s most recent controversy involves the LIV – the Saudi International  Golf Tournament. In 2021, Mickelson told the PGA championship that he’s withdrawing from the tournament, to play in the Saudi Arabian event.

Phil Mickelson was quoted saying – “They’ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse. As nice a guy as [PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan] comes across as, unless you have leverage, he won’t do what’s right. And the Saudi money has finally given us that leverage. I’m not sure I even want [the SGL] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour.”
