Huge Question Mark Around LIV Golf’s Phil Mickelson as Tiger Woods Steals the Limelight After Latest Masters Update

Phil Mickelson has had a successful career, winning numerous tournaments and major championships. However, in recent years, he has faced some challenges on the golf course. Mickelson, now in his early 50s, has struggled to maintain his top form and has seen a decline in his performance, particularly in major tournaments.

In the past few years, Mickelson has missed the cut in several major championships, including the U.S. Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA Championship. Even after signing a massive $200 million contract with LIV Golf and leaving the PGA Tour, the six-time Major champion has been under par. Still, fans are aware that the three-time Master’s Champion is a player who shouldn’t be written off as the first major event of the year approaches. However, there has been some change in events.

Phil Mickelson’s press conference is not scheduled for the coming week

With Masters coming up, Mickelson put himself in the spotlight by returning to the Augusta National Golf Club. Mickelson took advantage of the regulation allowing Masters invitees to practice on the course by visiting the Augusta National on Sunday and Monday this week. Mickelson certainly put himself in the spotlight but still has been subject to bad news.

While the Masters Tournament press conference list for next week is out, Mickelson’s name is nowhere to be found. The list surfaced on Twitter and the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and others were on the list. However, the LIV Golf superstar seems to have been neglected. Even the 15-time major winner Tiger Woods has made it to the list, which was a bit unexpected. Coming back after 2 years of absence from the game and having recently made his comeback, Woods’ inclusion in the first-week list was unpredicted. Now the whole talk of the town is Woods’ inclusion in the list, and that has surely stolen the show.

The list has scheduled an interview for only Cameron Smith from the LIV Golf. While Smith is the only golfer from LIV, they have not included other LIV golfers in the first week’s schedules. It surely seems that Mickelson has also been neglected because of his LIV Golf ties.

The current playing situation of Phil Mickelson

After practicing at the Augusta National Golf Club, Mickelson asserted that it was easier than in the past. However, it was still pretty difficult for him as he encountered some difficulties while practicing. Lefty found it challenging to assess accurately the improvements to the hole because of the slick conditions of the course.

It clearly seems that Mickelson is surely struggling to find his touch. Golf fans appear to have forgotten about him due to his lack of victories and lackluster results on the breakaway circuit. With Mickelson struggling with his, Masters performance remains to be something to look forward to.
