There are no immediate intentions for Phil Mickelson to leave the LIV Golf Tour. In the midst of inquiries about his long-term prospects in the game, the six-time major winner talked about how much he loved the breakaway league.
The renowned American golfer has had a difficult season and is currently ranked 43rd in LIV Golf’s standings, among the lowest players. He has previously acknowledged that his illustrious career is drawing to an end. At the 2023 Masters, Mickelson staged an incredible comeback, taking second place, his best result in 27 years.
Despite all the criticism and his lackluster performance, Mickelson told the Fairway to Heaven podcast that he is having fun on the tour and has no intention of quitting just yet. “I knew it would be difficult during the first two years, but now that we are two years in, things are completely different,” he remarked. Here, we’re having a great time. It’s so much fun here.
In LIV Golf, Mickelson leads the HyFlyers, who are ranked second-to-last in 12th position out of 13. However, the 54-year-old has expressed his gratitude for the way things worked out and expressed the hope that his transfer to LIV Golf will be associated with his legacy in the game.
“I’m glad for the boys on the Tour that they now have everything they should have, and it is a result of our involvement, investment, and integration into LIV’s success.
However, the crowd we’re drawing here is different. We are drawing a global audience as well.
