Phil Mickelson disappeared from the spotlight for a while after he was criticized for his comments about working with Saudi Arabian officials, but the six-time major champion is officially back to throwing haymakers on social media.
Mickelson (or his social media manager) has spent a good amount of time this week trolling people on Twitter. On Thursday, one fan account suggested PGA Tour golfers should face off against their LIV counterparts in a Ryder Cup-style tournament. Former NFL running back Danny Woodhead, who is an excellent golfer and made a run at qualifying for the US Open last year, said he would love to see it.
Mickelson also thinks it is a good idea. However, he said the reason the event will not become a reality at this time is that LIV “would dominate (the PGA Tour) so soundly and it would be over so quick that TV would have to fill an hour of dead time.”
