It all started with Mickelson replying to a tweet from a Twitter user Danny Woodhead, a retweet from another netizen proposing a LIV vs PGA Tour event in a Ryder Cup event. “It sounds great, but we would dominate them so soundly,” Phil commented.
As expected, it took no time for the comment to become the talk of the golf world. Netizens rushed to the section to show their viewpoints on the matter. While some of them joked, some made good points in the comment section. And one, in particular, garnered the attraction of the source who started it all.
It is not a secret that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are all-time rivals. Since the beginning of their careers, the two have competed against each other on the course and fought with their mouth off course. The rivalry got extended after Mickelson joined LIV Golf, making the two take in-direct dig at each other.
“They do seem to talk a lot.” The 7-word comment from Mickelson to a reply mentioning some of the PGA Tour loyalists is one way the LIV Golf defector called out his rivals publicly.
While McIlroy always represents the Tour and often talks about the same in press conferences since he is the 2021 elected chairman of PAC, the others, too, talk in favor of the Tour and against the Saudi league, whenever they get a chance. Hence, it is a no-brainer that Mickelson wrote the 7-word message as a jab at the six Tour loyalists.
