Defiant Phil Mickelson declared the LIV Golf series provides players with an unsurpassed experience despite playing in The Open at the Home of Golf. USA star Mickelson carded an opening par 72 at the Old Course in St Andrews. Mickelson, 52, is banned from the PGA Tour after defecting to the Saudi-back golf league for a £170million payday.
He has since played twice in Greg Norman’s brainchild after teeing it up in London and Portland. He reflected: “I made the right decision for me and I'm excited about having the opportunity to play competitive golf and have it in my life in a more moderate scale.
“I couldn't be happier. I think it's been really good. I can't wait to get to New Jersey and play another event there. The player experience, the experience of those events from a player standpoint is a 10. You can't get it any better.
