Along with his captivating performances, Phil Mickelson is also widely known for his wars of words with people of the golf fraternity. Mickelson’s words have always been bold when it comes to defending his league, and the golfer has never held back. Now what happens when he engages with a person with similar qualities?
Former golfer and current Golf channel analyst Brandel Chamblee, has been in a tiff with the golfer since 2018. But now it seems, their relationship has come to an end.

Brandel Chamblee takes a drastic online step against Phil Mickelson on social media
It all started in 2016 when the golf analyst got into an argument with David Duval about Mickelson’s and Tiger Woods’ contribution to the American team in the 2016 Ryder Cup. At that time Lefty did not pay any attention to the comments. Then in 2018, the former PGA player said that he is not fond of Chamblee because he thinks that the commentator’s career is built on “denigrating others.”
The two have been engaged in numerous feuds with each other ever since. Both have called out one another on various occasions. In 2022, Chamblee said that the golfer has been bought for, since he joined LIV golf. He also asked for the veteran golfer to be kicked out of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
As per the recent scenario, the two engaged in an online feud when Keopka’s swing coach, Claude Harmon III, called the commentator a “paid actor” and the 6-time Major champion backed the statement. After Koepka’s coach’s statement, Chamblee posted a very long tweet calling out the LIV Golf and expressing his feelings about the situation.
The 60-year-old former golfer also invited Mickelson to his live show and discuss the “merits of playing for scary MFers.” Phil Mickelson then posted a snip saying that Chamblee has blocked him.
The snippets of the recent bicker between the two were shared by a popular golf Twitter page, NUCLR GOLF.
