While in Saudi Arabia, Phil Mickelson is creating a commotion.
At the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where LIV Golf was hosting an event, Mickelson spoke on how the game of golf is constantly evolving.
“You should choose a side moving forward, in my opinion. You must decide which team will win, in your opinion. And I’m certain that I’m on the right side of how professional golf is going to change and develop in the years to come “On Thursday, Mickelson remarked.

“On LIV, we compete against many of the world’s top players, and the PGA Tour also features many of the best players in the world. Both sides will continue to alter and evolve unless they sit down, have a discussion, and come to an agreement. I enjoy the side I’m on as I see LIV Golf growing upward and the PGA Tour trending downward.”
Mickelson first got into trouble over remarks he made about Saudi Arabia, the nation that finances LIV Golf, about a year ago.
Despite Saudi Arabia’s track record on human rights, Mickelson is cited as saying in an interview with The Fire Pit Collective in November 2021 that working with the government was a chance to alter how the game of golf is played.

Mickelson is quoted as saying and says, “They’re scary m—————— to get involved with.” “We are aware of their horrendous human rights record and murder of “Washington Post reporter and American resident Jamal” Khashoggi. There, those who are gay are put to death. Why on earth would I ever consider it in light of all of this? Considering that this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change the way the PGA Tour functions.”
