Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are considered two of the best golfers in the world. Undoubtedly, their championship victories might be the reason for their popularity. However, it is their bickering moments with each other that the fans have enjoyed the most. 

As a writer who has experienced all the on and off the course bittersweet moments between the two legendary golfers, Bob Harig is about to publish a book about the same. His first book, ‘Tiger & Phil: Golf’s Most Fascinating Rivalry’, will be available for purchase from the 26th of April, 2022.

Before becoming the writer of Sports Illustrated, Harig was a long-time writer for ESPN. He had watched both Phil and Tiger closely since the beginning of their careers. In fact, he even had the opportunity of interviewing them, through which he was inspired to write the book.

As two of the game’s very best, Phil and Tiger always shared a professional rivalry. Winning the tournaments against each other was always a bonus; however, it is the trash-talk that fans enjoyed the most.

The recent dispute between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods

It has been over a year since Woods played in an official tournament. Yet, he still won the inaugural PIP reward of $8 million and he made sure he took a dig on the alleged winner of the same, his favorite golfer, Phil Mickelson. 

Mickelson had announced himself as the PIP winner through his Twitter account ahead of any official statement. However, the PGA Tour officials soon announced Woods as the winner of the PIP, and Mickelson finished in second place. Hence, with a golden opportunity in front, Woods was not going to let the moment go.
