The League of Defectors recently released a promotional video announcing its different teams and captains for this season.

Sharing the video on Twitter, Lefty wrote, “The answer is obvious” and tagged his team, the HY Flyers. Similar to last year, Mickelson once again heads the Hy Flyers.

In the 2022 season, the HY Flyers consisted of three other golfers besides their legendary captain: Bernd Wiesberger, Matthew Wolff, and Cameron Tringale. This year, its list of members has not yet been made public, but that doesn’t matter to many. For them, Lefty is enough!

Bryson DeChambeau doesn’t back away from Mickelson’s challenge

While Mickelson may be the biggest star in the Saudi-backed series, that doesn’t mean the rest are ready to give up just yet – the captain of the Crushers, DeChambeau, is one of them. He too took to Twitter and wrote“The answer is simple.” Well, it’s not so simple anymore, Bryson!

Last year, the long-distance driver’s Crushers had made it further than the HY Flyers. But they too were unable to go further. They were knocked out during the second round of the semi-finals. On his team, ‘the Scientist’ had Paul Casey, Charles Howell III, and Anirban Lahiri. And who knows what changes will be made this year? Regardless, DeChambeau will be looking for a win this year.
