Phil Mickelson is seemingly paying the price for his LIV Golf switch if his world ranking is anything to go by, after slipping out of the world's top 300 players for the first time in his professional career.
Mickelson competed in LIV Golf's opening event of their 2023 season last weekend, finishing in a tie for 27th at Mayakoba, swooping him a cool £135,000 for his three days work in Mexico. This has taken his LIV on-course earnings to £1.6million despite competing in just nine events.
This comes on top of the six-time major champion's reported £166million mega-money signing on fee, with the American no doubt reaping the financial reward for his Saudi switch.
