Phil Mickelson continued to blast the PGA Tour on Thursday by saying that the Tour is “trending downwards” and that he believes he’ll be on the “winning side” with how the professional game is set to evolve.
Though he made incendiary comments about both the Tour and the Saudis earlier this year that threatened to torpedo the upstart league, Mickelson ultimately made the move to LIV Golf and has been arguably its most high-profile advocate. LIV has claimed 12 of the top 50 players in the world – Mickelson, the 2021 PGA champion, is down to 138th – as it winds down its inaugural season.
