Phil Mickelson once again defends LIV Golf

Date:

Phil Michaelson fired back at the PGA Tour this Thursday, saying he was on the “winning side” playing on LIV Golf Series.

Mickelson made the comments in Saudi Arabia ahead of the tour’s final tournament in Jeddah. Jeddah’s LIV Golf Invitational begins this Friday at the Royal Greens in King Abdullah Economic City. It is the first time Mickelson has visited Saudi Arabia since controversial comments he made in an unauthorized biography.

I strongly believe that I am on the winning side about how things are going to evolve and shape over the next few years for professional golf,” Mickelson said. “I love the way they engage with us and listen to us in decisions. I mean, it’s inclusive and continuous and for me LIV Golf came out on top“, he claimed.

Mickelson believes he is leading the PGA Tour. “I see LIV Golf trending up and the PGA Tour going down”Michaelson said. “I love the side I’m on. And I love what I feel. I love how energized and excited I am to play golf and compete, the experience, the way we’re treated,” he said.

Mickelson, who has top-10 finishes in six LIV tournaments, rejected criticism of the Saudis in Alan Shipnuck’s book. “I never did an interview with Alan Shipnuck”Michaelson said. “My experience with everyone at LIV Golf has been incredibly positive and I have the utmost respect for everyone,” he said.
