Phil Mickelson shared an alarming update for PGA Tour Players

It looks like today ‘Lefty’ was finally ready to tell the world about what he thinks will be the consequences of the merger for the PGA Tour players. Mickelson retweeted a lengthy description by Golf commentator Bob Ball, where he issued an alarming message to the players on the PGA Tour. According to Bob, PGA Tour players will be in big trouble if they don’t support the Framework agreement. He says that the agreement is designed to be vague in part to maintain unclarity, and its interpretation by the Golf press is incorrect and misleading.
