Months After Being Called ‘Selfish,’ Phil Mickelson Extends His Notorious Streak With a Relentless Attack Against the Voice of the PGA Tour

The animosity between PGA Tour and LIV Golf doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. With every statement released by any member of either party, things surely tend to get messier. And with both sides having unofficial spokespersons of the likes of Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy, the squabble just goes on. 

Phil Mickelson regularly uses Twitter to express his opinion and recently when he was presented with a golden opportunity to strike at his opponent Rory McIlroy, Mickelson took it and knocked the ball out of the park.

Rory McIlroy gives a big statement about having off seasons at PGA Tour

McIlroy who is currently busy teeing it up at the Memorial Championship this weekend, has made a statement that has presented as a big win for Mickelson on a silver platter. Speaking up about the PGA Tour players needing some free time on their hands so they could utilize it on improving their game, the 2014 British Open winner said –

“We all have been advocating for an off-season. It is really hard to play your best golf when you are really thinking about your golf swing. That off-season time would be nice to work on your mechanics and the fundamentals.”

And Twitter fans soon jumped up on the occasion and expressed what they think about this request. One fan hit the hot topic of how McIlroy now understands the need to play less golf and have productive offseasons, and advised him to switch sides to the LIV Tour which offers these facilities from the beginning. LIV golf loyalist Phil Mickelson, swiftly took this opportunity to destroy Rory using his words.

With a kickass answer lefty replied to the tweet – “As worn out as Mclroy was after the Masters and his need for an off-season, LIV would be perfect for him. Problem is I don’t think there’s a team that wants him on it because they’d have to deal with all his bs.”

With these words not only had Mickelson ended the possibility of McIlroy having a future at LIV at his end, but he also had this revenge on him for calling him selfish, egotistical, and ignorant in an interview last year.

The three times Masters winner also poked fun at his nemesis by teasing him about how great things would be had he been on LIV’s side. But now Phil is sure that Rory won’t find a place for himself with any team in LIV because of his b****it.

This year saw Rory have an unsatisfactory result at the Master’s. He missed the cut for the second time in three years. McIlroy has won the British Open and the U.S. Open, but he is yet to add the title of being a Masters winner to his name. In such a situation, McIlroy’s remarks about some time off, gave Mickelson a great strike which grabbed the PGA Tour loyalist by the horns!
