No doubt he imagines himself a pioneer—a “disrupter,” in the nomenclature of bullshitters—but Mickelson is setting out in search of new gold from a mine that is far from exhausted. If Mickelson chooses to move on—or if he is ushered toward the door marked ‘Exit’ by Monahan—he should be mourned. That Mickelson seems to have sided with the Saudis suggests three possibilities.That he genuinely believes their concept is best for golf’s future, a hypothesis that can be discounted since it’s based on the implausible notion that he could have altruistic motives. Mickelson’s entire statement was self-serving tripe in which he brazenly postured as a Rosa Parks for the prosperous, standing against injustice and “taking the hits publicly” that such displays of courage entail. But perhaps he learned from the example of Jamal Khashoggi that lèse-majesté laws are decidedly unforgiving in Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s circles. Legend has it that Marcus Licinius Crassus of Rome was killed by the mutineering men he’d led into a failed battle, who poured molten gold down their leader’s throat in mockery of his thirst for wealth.

Phil Mickelson Posts an apology after making controversial comments about the Super Golf League (SGL) he is assisting with.

Alex Miceli writes that Phil Mickelson has plenty of examples where his greed and ego got the best of him, which makes the current Saudi story far less ...

And it forced me to stop my preparation for the tournament, to stop chipping and stop putting and stop sharpening my game and stop learning the golf course, in an effort to crash-course and learn a whole different golf ball that we were going to be playing.” I’d like to hear from Mickelson and see what he says in refuting these allegations. And then suggest the venture on which they are willing to spend hundreds of millions is not important to him and if it fails, c’est la vie? And while everyone is going with the Shipnuck version like its gospel, I’d like to know more. And was that really the -- was that the problem? He was forced to repay the $931,738 he made in profit plus interest of $105,291. I would assert that Mickelson is not only calculated, but also greedy and egotistical, so his actions are focused on one thing: his own benefit. “So I grabbed a couple dozen of his balls, I went off to the side, and tried to learn his golf ball in a four- or five-hour session on kind of an isolated -- one of the other holes out there trying to find out how far the ball goes. “There is the problem of off record comments being shared out of context and without my consent,” Mickelson said in his statement. So, Mickelson spent most of his practice time learning how his new equipment performed while camped out the North course hitting shot after shot, while his 11 teammates practiced together on the South course. Speaking as if Watson was not there and using 2008 U.S. Captain Paul Azinger’s pod system as an example of how Watson should have captained. “No, nobody here was in any decision.”

The six-time major champion and reigning PGA Championship winner tweeted a lengthy apology on Tuesday for his blunt comments to golf journalist Alan Shipnuck, ...

"The first paragraph was about him pretending to be a victim. The second paragraph was about him pretending to be an activist. Shipnuck replied by tweeting that Mickelson saying the comments were off the record was "completely false." "Golf desperately needs change, and real change is always preceded by disruption," he wrote. "I used words I sincerely regret that do not reflect my true feelings or intentions," he wrote. I’m not sure I even want [the SGL] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour.”
