Hours Before His Tiger Woods Verdict, Phil Mickelson’s Relentless Attack Proves His Undying Animosity Toward the PGA Tour

Yesterday the golf world was hit with another shocker after Tiger Woods has been announced as the sixth Player Director on the PGA Tour Policy Board. The grave silence that Woods has been maintaining since the news of the merger has finally been answered through this. And one of the biggest celebrators of this news is LIV defector Phil Mickelson.

However, Mickelson, who announced his happiness on this occasion on Twitter, was angry at his former tour hours ago for duplicity and failing to fulfill its promises. Let’s find out more.

Phil Mickelson accuses PGA Tour of lying under oath

However, hours before his happy celebrations, Mickelson had blasted the PGA Tour for not being true to their words. The PGA Tour is currently answering big questions regarding its policies and the billion dollars merger to the Senate. And during their latest hearing, PGA Tour executive Ron Price said that the PGA Tour will bring in $2.1 billion for the next season while under oath. Responding to this, Mickelson lost his cool and accused the PGA Tour of misleading by saying something and doing another.

Phil Mickelson tweets: “Interesting math. For years their words and the truth have had a huge gap. But to say this under oath to Congress is next level.” It is evident that Lefty has no faith in his previous tour. However, with Woods joining the team things could change now.

PGA Tour describes its ledger during the Senate hearing

Golf commentator Bob Ball has shared the full report of the proceedings of the latest Senate hearing on Twitter. Besides the $2.1 billion dollars for the 2022-23 season, PGA Tour set aside prize money of $435.7 million for this season’s Fed Ex Cup schedule and $50 Million in PIP. They also said to invest $62.5 million for the Champions Tour, $29 Million for Korn Ferry Tour, and $10 million for the Latin American Tour, Canada and other tours. Ball has questioned the creditability of Ron Price’s words by asking why PGA Tour is paying out just a little over 35% when other sports leagues are paying out around 50-55%. 

While Mickelson is overjoyed by the addition of Woods to the PGA Tour’s board, will his trust in them ever return through his old frenemy? Only time will tell. What do you think about Tiger Woods joining the PGA Tour board? Let us know in the comments.
