‘Greateful to PGA Tour..’: While Appreciating Scottie Scheffler and Others Efforts, Phil Mickelson’s Nemsis Takes a Huge LIV Golf Jibe

The list of non-LIV Golf lovers appears to be endless. Time and again, the LIV Golf has been subjected to a lot of opposition in many golfing spheres. The creation of the league had extremely polarised opinions and saw the golfing world get divided into two major categories.

The first category belonged to the ones who embraced the new league such as Phil Mickelson, and Bryson DeChambeau and the other belonged to the ones who refused to accept the LIV Golf with open arms such as Rory McIlroy, Trevor Immelman, and many more.

The PGA tour winner went on to applaud the Coody brothers as well for understanding and choosing the path of preservation of legacy over money. According to Chamblee, “Golf is facing an existential threat” and also believes the problems that the emergence of LIV Golf poses have far more grave repercussions that are not restricted to the golfing world,
