In his first exclusive interview since his 4-month hiatus, Phil Mickelson (PhilMickelson) spoke to SI about his gambling problem, his debut on the LIV Golf Tour, and his future at major championships
Phil Mickelson is one of golf’s greatest champions, a player with a resume that ranks among the best of all time. Six majors, 45 PGA Tour victories, a pro career that spans 30 years.
Mickelson has spent the better part of the past four months underground due to the fallout associated with the start-up of this new venture. Until Monday, he had issued no public statements, played no golf tournaments and missed two major championships, including the PGA Championship last month where he was the defending champion.
During the interview, he expressed regret about the way certain things were handled, acknowledged the last four months have given him time to reflect, that he plans to play all eight LIV Golf series events and that he still expects to be able to compete in the major championships. And Mickelson said he would not be forfeiting his PGA Tour membership.
“I’ve had some really good conversations with my sponsors because they’re not just my sponsors but my friends, too. I’m very appreciative of the support they’ve shown me throughout this time. I think that the answer, though, will play itself out in due time. I don’t think those answers are available right now. It will play out in time.’’
