Phil Mickelson has 'gone dark' with golf great uncontactable since grovelling apology

Phil Mickelson has "gone dark" since announcing his indefinite break from professional golf, according to Bryson DeChambeau.

Controversial comments made by Mickelson to an author about the proposed Saudi-backed Golf Super League were made public in February. He was widely criticised for considering using the proposed breakaway league as financial leverage against the PGA Tour despite describing the Saudis as "scary motherf*****s".

In a lengthy statement announcing his break from the game, the 51-year-old wrote: "The past 10 years I have felt the pressure and stress slowly affecting me at a deeper level. I know I have not been my best and desperately need some time away to prioritise the ones I love most and work on being the man I want to be."
