Phil Mickelson has claimed that he 'never did' an interview with his biographer Alan Shipnuck in which he described the state of Saudi Arabia as 'scary motherf*****s'. Mickelson's comments were released in February of this year by Shipnuck via Fire Pit Collective.
Mickelson was discussing his link up with the then rumoured Saudi Golf League, now more commonly know as the LIV Golf Series. As has been the case throughout the saga surrounding LIV, the six-time major champion was quizzed on the morality of working with the Saudis, amid the country's dismal human rights record.
Addressing this Mickelson described the Middle Eastern kingdom as 'motherf*****s', referring to the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, and the kingdom's horrific treatment of the LGBT community.
