Phil Mickelson took advantage of LIV Golf’s latest rule change which allows players to wear shorts during the breakaway tour’s latest event in Boston.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and it has divided golf, leaving the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sports biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Mickelson.
The controversial series - bankrolled by a Saudi regime renowned for human rights abuses - continues to divide golf and shake up the sport, and CEO Greg Norman announced players could wear shorts during tournament rounds. The rule change came into effect from Saturday.
