Alan Shipnuck makes a shocking revelation about Phil Mickelson

Shipnuck is the same author who revealed the 45-time PGA Tour winner’s comments about the Saudi Golf League and the PGA Tour. Recently, Alan recently wrote an excerpt about Mickelson’s gambling losses, the Saudi fallout, and his media manipulation. Shipnuck wrote the piece for the Fire Pit Collection.

Not to forget, Phil has registered for the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club. As a result, he will probably make his comeback to competitive golf and will defend his title at the major championship event. Apart from playing professional golf, he is famous for his intriguing gambling or wagger stories.

Alan wrote an extensive excerpt from the 51-year-old professional’s biography.

He wrote, “It is important to note that Mickelson never opens his mouth without an agenda. He has spent his career alternately charming, cajoling, manipulating, and bullying reporters.”

He added, “During a period when there was tremendous scrutiny about Mickelson’s gambling, Hawkins was alone in the locker room at the Tour Championship with Phil, who pulled out his phone and began placing bets on early-season college basketball games.”

Phil asks for a release to play on the rival tour

Reportedly, the PGA Tour veteran has asked for a release to play at the opening event of the LIV Golf Invitational Series. The kickoff event will take place at the Centurion Club, just outside London, in June. According to reports by the Telegraph, Mickelson has signed an agreement to play all eight events of the rival league. As a result, this is expected to cause a serious legal battle between Phil and the PGA Tour if they suspend professionals for playing in the rival league.

Rumor also has it that Phil is set to receive $30 million upfront. At the same time, he has to play all eight events on the new tour or pay back the amount with some penalty. Apart from Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Kevin Na have also asked for a similar release. Do you think they will play the event?
