Paige Spiranac Once Urged Phil Mickelson to Retire From Golf For a Selfish Reason

Phil Mickelson is known for a lot of reasons but mostly for his move of joining LIV Golf. The golf legend has had beef with tons of people ever since he allegedly breached the PGA Tour contract. And among these people is golf star, Paige Spiranac. But it has not been the same between the two since the beginning. There was a time when she praised the golfer for his commentary skills!

Paige Spiranac wanted Phil Mickelson to retire

Phil Mickelson is known as the ‘prankster’ of the golf world. Mickelson’s sense of humor is well-known by all his fans across the world. However, one of the people who love the golfer’s speaking skills is Paige Spiranac. She was once so fond of hearing Mickelson that she expressed her wish of having him in the commentary box.

In one of her tweets in 2021, Spiranac wrote, “Haha I love Phil! I selfishly wanted him to retire so we could see him in the booth because he has the best commentary in the game!” She might be right about Mickelson’s potential for being a golf broadcaster. But it doesn’t seem like Mickelson is anywhere near to retiring from the sport. Instead, he sees a lot more years for himself in the game and is currently a representative of the Saudi-backed league.

Did Mickelson block Paige Spiranac on Twitter?

According to a tweet by Paige Spiranac, LIV Golf legend Phil Mickelson has blocked her on Twitter. It was after Alan Shipnuck tweeted about Mickelson’s “false” claims and said that there was nothing to be said off the record.

Trying to find out more on this, Spiranac commented, “What did he say? I’m blocked”. Her fans were shocked to find out about the situation even though Spiranac had been a fan of Mickelson. However, it could be a reaction to Spiranac’s early statements about the LIV Golf league. But Mickelson has not given any reasons behind blocking the golf beauty!
