This outburst of fury was ignited by a recent tweet from Mickelson, where he voiced his frustrations with Brandel Chamblee, a prominent figure in golf media. Mickelson’s tweet accused Chamblee of tearing everyone apart from the safety of his Golf Channel set without facing any challenges in return.

Phil Mickelson recently tweeted, Brandel sits on his golf channel set tearing everyone apart with no one challenging him. I’m done taking his $h!t quietly. I know it’s stooping to his low level but the 37th personal attack is the last one without responding. Maybe Eamon lynch can come to his defense again.”

Mickelson expressed his exasperation, declaring that he is done silently enduring Chamblee’s attacks. While acknowledging that stooping to his opponent’s level may not be ideal, Mickelson emphasized that he cannot let the 37th personal attack go unanswered. He even sarcastically suggested that Eamon Lynch, a fellow golf journalist, could come to Chamblee’s defense once again.
