PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Justin Thomas hadn’t read Phil Mickelson’s rip job of the PGA Tour and dalliance with the proposed Saudi Golf League that were published earlier Thursday on the Fire Pit Collective, but when told the gist of Mickelson’s sentiment, Thomas said, “Shocking, never would have guessed.”
Mickelson didn’t mince words, trashing the Tour leadership and airing his grievances publicly in the most detailed and descriptive way.
“Seems like a bit of a pretty, you know, egotistical statement. I don’t know, it’s like he’s done a lot of great things for the PGA Tour, it’s a big reason it is where it is, but him and others that are very adamant about that, if they’re that passionate, go ahead,” Thomas said. “I don’t think anybody’s stopping them.”
