He got so much money from LIV it was impossible to turn it down.
Don’t have to hate him for it but don’t have to give him a crutch either. Not impossible to turn down. Other of his peers have done it

He finished 8th for a guy with odds in the top 4

Yeah I am just sad he’s not playing on tour anymore. He’s easily the guy I miss the most. He is fun as shite to watch when he’s competing down the stretch on a big stage

Mickelson went from American golden boy to an absolute unlikable douche when he went to LIV.

Kiawah should have been the crowning moment for Phil’s career. It seems like a long time ago now but that was one of the first sporting events with a full crowd post COVID, at a signature course at a time when most everyone thought Phil was done winning majors. It was electric and its shame the LIV stuff has overshadowed it

So you let the media tell you what to think? You liked him because the media told you to, or you now hate him because the media told you to.
Phil told everyone that the PGA is hiding money from the players. The PGA said we don’t have any extra money. Phil helps start a new professional golf league and then the PGA says, “hey, we found a bunch of extra money and here is how we will give it back to the players.”
Phil was right.

Agree. And it was a tremendous career.

FIGJAM has no one to blame but himself. Unlike Rahm, Bryson and Niemann, to name a few, he didn't just join the LIV exhibition league; he worked hard to create it while trying to tear apart the PGA and spreading silly lies about "growing the game."
He didn't care about the game, the Tour, other players, or his place in history as a golfing icon off the course. He wanted a big bag of money as his career was winding down - and he wanted it NOW.
FIGJAM got his big bag, and now he is dealing with public perception of what he did to get it, where he got it from, and the public reveal that he's actually always been a greedy, selfish, and lousy person.

Did you get that from Chamblee or Shipnuck?
He did what he did to improve the PGA Tour for the players & it did.
Phil in 2021:
quote:
he added that the Gulf state’s investment into the game was a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.”
“As nice a guy as [Monahan] comes across as, unless you have leverage, he won’t do what’s right. And the Saudi [Public Investment Fund] money has finally given us that leverage. I’m not sure I even want [the league that would become LIV Golf] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour.”

Tiger’s best year, he won ~$10M.
Scottie won >$60M last year.

quote:Except the exact opposite was true. There was no extra money and to increase prize money they had to go into reserves and reduce the fields and Phil was proven 100% wrong when this happened
hey, we found a bunch of extra money and here is how we will give it back to the players.
And then to get more money they had to strike a deal with PE. They extra money narrative was proven to be absolutely false with every move the PGA was forced to make

Most of it came from the PGA Tour revenues from their media rights deal. Plenty of articles from 2022 with that info.

Phil also proposed that to Jay before leaving for LIV.
quote:
Mickelson also revealed a $1 BN peace offer involving "eight elevated events" he had put to the Tour before defecting to LIV. He wrote: "Before I left I brought a $1 billion commitment from a current PGA Tour partner to have 8 elevated events and give equity and ownership in these events to the players. JM's quote was: 'I don't believe the league is going to happen so we won't be doing that.' No vote, no discussion."

And pretty much everyone agrees the limited fields are shite. It’s a greedy money grab for the top players. It weakens the growth of the game and just makes it easier to put money in the guys pockets.
Nothing Phil said was accurate. They weren’t just sitting on money. To increase purses they had to tap into reserves, cut the field almost in half so the pot was split less, and then also involve PE
acting like that isn’t major changes and the money bag was just in the corner of the room is wild

No they don’t
I think everyone agrees that the non-signature events are shite.

You’re just ignoring facts. I posted above that Phil said the Tour should do all of those things & then that’s exactly what happened. How is that not accurate?

Maybe follow, I’m responding to this
The truth is “hey we had to make some pretty radical changes to get extra money to try and compete with an unlimited sovereign fund not concerned about ROI”
If the tour was just sitting on the pot of gold they wouldn’t have had to make all the changes to get the money…
