Amid Tiger Woods’ Painful Hiatus, Dark Rival Phil Mickelson Revelation Confession Comes to Light
Two of the best golfers of this era Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have shared a love-hate relationship throughout their career. An active competitor of each other on the green, every time they ended up facing each other,it has been more interesting due to their rivalry.
Even though they have stopped facing each other on the green, it looks like the rivalry between them continues to persist. While Woods is enjoying his hiatus, a shocking truth has come to light about his previous behavior towards Mickelson.
Woods is resting his sets of golf clubs this year owing to his injury but he is still very much connected to golf. His rivalry with Phil Mickelson is still a hot topic. Last year, the two were present at the Champions Dinner ahead of the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews. Golf writer Alan Shipnuck revealed a hidden truth about this dinner in an excerpt from his new book, LIV and Let Die.
According to Shipnuck, Woods on purpose excluded Mickelson from the dinner. Alan writes in his book “He talked to a handful of other past champions to get their blessing and then went to the R&A and told them no one wanted Phil there and it would make the night weird and awkward,” says one of the men at the dinner. “Whose side were they going to take: Tiger’s or Phil’s? That’s an easy choice.”
