The 53-year-old was accused by none other than Alan Shipnuck of leaking details about the deal between the Saudi-backed league and the Spanish golfer. However, the 45X PGA Tour pro decided to reveal his side of the story on Twitter.

He uploaded a post on his social media handle regarding the same mentioning how the whole accusation “isn’t true” and he doesn’t “know anything.” Adding on, the golfer pointed out how “Alan is the worst liar and a pathetic human,” all the while divulging how he doesn’t want to know anything or hasn’t talked about the same.

The 6X major winner was spotted replying to a tweet by NUCLR GOLF. The post uploaded by the page talks about how, as per Shipnuck, Mickelson had been letting people know how the Spanish pro would be “signing on with LIV Golf” which evoked a furious reply from ‘Lefty’.

All of this started with the writer accusing the LIV golfer of leaking details, all the while accusing him of being a “relentless salesman.” And one would think that with the athlete’s reply, everything would come to an end. However, it was not the case as the author took to his social media again to take a jab at the golfer.

Shipnuck started off with a question, “I guess Phil tweeted at me?” all the while pointing out how he would not know since the 11X DP World Tour winner had blocked him on Twitter, dubbing it a “classic tough-guy move.”
