Hours Ahead of $50Million LIV Golf Event, Phil Mickelson Oozes With Confidence As He Puts Out a Stern Warning to the Rest of the Field

The final showdown of the 2023 LIV roster, LIV Golf Miami kicks off today at the Donald Trump-owned Trump National Doral Golf Club. Even this year, the prize pool for the event is quite hefty. The purse for the event is $50 million. One can make out there is so much at stake.

Now, ahead of the event, the HyFlyers GC captain Phil Mickelson gives a stern warning about one of his teammates. Let’s get into the story to learn what exactly he has said and about whom!

Phil Mickelson makes a bold statement about his teammate 

Cameron Tringale used to play on the PGA Tour until 2022. But last year, he defected to LIV Golf, and since then, he has been playing as a member of Phil Mickelson’s team, HyFlyers GC. 

Besides, the golfer has been in excellent form recently. If one takes a look at his performances, he has had five top-ten finishes. Recently, in LIV Golf Jeddah, which took place at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club, he finished T9. He appears in good form ahead of the Miami event. 

A similar thought crossed Mickelson’s mind. The six-time major winner said, “Camo’s got a lot of ammo in his game. I expect him to come out shooting on Friday, and I think that’s going to make for a really exciting match”.

The captain’s words reveal that he has high expectations from Tringale but only time will tell how he tees up in Miami. Apart from this, let’s take a look at the format of the game.
