Phil Mickelson has claimed that he suggested the PGA Tour 's new elevated event changes to commissioner Jay Monahan, before making his move to the LIV Golf Series. Mickelson dominated headlines last year, after ending his 30-year relationship with the PGA Tour.
This came after the 54-time Tour winner joined up with Greg Norman and co at LIV Golf ahead of the maiden season last summer. Since then, the 52-year-old has made his feelings clear about the PGA Tour, and has once again had his say following the American-based circuit's latest announcement.
Last week commissioner Monahan confirmed that the Tour were bringing in a group of no-cut, limited field 'elevated events' which look set to replace the annual World Golf Championships.
