Phil Mickelson gets involved in furious argument about LIV Golf/PGA Tour

In a heated exchange between Anthony Kim and Brandel Chamblee concerning LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson has weighed in, aiming to settle the ongoing dispute. Golf Channel analyst Chamblee, known for his critiques, found himself targeted by Kim this time, with Kim labeling him a ‘p—-‘ for advocating a deal with LIV’s Saudi backers, a stance contradicting his previous calls for Mickelson’s removal from the golf hall of fame due to his ties with Saudi interests.

Kim’s entry into LIV in February marked a comeback after years away from the PGA Tour, during which he battled addiction. He credits his wife and daughter for his recovery and aims to regain his winning form with LIV despite initial struggles.

Mickelson, now adding his perspective, believes men’s professional golf is undergoing significant changes, emphasizing the importance of addressing issues rather than waiting for collapse.

The PGA Tour’s response includes forming a ‘transaction subcommittee’ to engage with LIV and Saudi representatives. Initially, Tiger Woods was slated as the sole PGA Tour player in these discussions, but Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott later joined, despite previous resistance from Woods, Jordan Spieth, and Patrick Cantlay. McIlroy downplays any tension and denies rifts with Woods.
