Tiger Woods has weighed in on the saga surrounding long-time rival Phil Mickelson, as he revealed he hasn’t reached out to his fellow American due to having a ‘completely different stance’ on his attitude to the PGA Tour. Mickelson has remained distant from the world of golf, after being widely criticised for comments surrounding the newly introduced LIV Golf Series, and his opinions on the PGA Tour.
The 51-year-old was seen as the Saudi-backed circuit’s flagship player at the turn of the year, after launching a public attack on the PGA Tour, accusing the circuit of ‘obnoxious greed’.
Mickelson’s controversy then hit new heights back in February, as he described the state of Saudi Arabia as ‘scary mother f*****s’ due to their poor human rights record, but implied he was willing to look past that in order to ‘gain leverage’ over the PGA Tour - the circuit in which he had spent nearly his whole career competing on, earning £77 million in winnings in the process.
