Phil Mickelson has branded the state of Saudi Arabia 'scary motherf*****s' after admitting he is only flirting with the controversial Saudi Golf League (SGL) to gain leverage on the PGA Tour.
Rumours surrounding the newly proposed circuit have taken the world of golf by storm in recent months, with the league providing a big split of opinion between some of the best players on the planet.
The new series is being led by former world No 1 Greg Norman, with the mega-money funding of Saudi-backed company LIV Golf Investments looking to lure some of the game’s best away from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
