Amidst the $3 Billion Merger Turmoil, LIV Defector Phil Mickelson Makes a Staggering Statement About His Future on the PGA Tour

It has been a tremendous year for golf, to say the least. There have been brilliant tournaments, inspiring victories, heartbreaking losses, and some controversial news. The biggest headline maker has to be the much-talked-about and somewhat controversial merger between the DP World Tour, PGA Tour, and LIV Golf.

The media wanted a quote after the recently leaked documents revealed the entire framework of the agreement. And with the sport’s future still uncertain post-merger, Phil Mickelson has an opinion on how he anticipates his future in the sport to be.

Phil Mickelson finally broke his silence on joining LIV Golf and the merger on Wednesday during a media conference. This took place days before the LIV Golf Valderrama. This was his first public statement on the whole deal. Being the center figure of the LIV-PGA Tour war, fans and media outlets have been waiting for a statement for months now.

“I just can’t envision a better scenario for me as a player than playing out here on LIV,” He told reporters. “Rather than saying yes or no, I know that from a player’s experience, all of the difficulties and challenges and things that take a lot of excessive energy and output throughout the week have been fixed at LIV.”
