Phil Mickelson is known for a lot of reasons but mostly for his move of joining LIV Golf. The golf legend has had beef with tons of people ever since he allegedly breached the PGA Tour contract. And among these people is golf star, Paige Spiranac. But it has not been the same between the two since the beginning. There was a time when she praised the golfer for his commentary skills!

Paige Spiranac wanted Phil Mickelson to retire

Phil Mickelson is known as the ‘prankster’ of the golf world. Mickelson’s sense of humor is well-known by all his fans across the world. However, one of the people who love the golfer’s speaking skills is Paige Spiranac. She was once so fond of hearing Mickelson that she expressed her wish of having him in the commentary box.

In one of her tweets in 2021, Spiranac wrote, “Haha I love Phil! I selfishly wanted him to retire so we could see him in the booth because he has the best commentary in the game!” She might be right about Mickelson’s potential for being a golf broadcaster. But it doesn’t seem like Mickelson is anywhere near to retiring from the sport. Instead, he sees a lot more years for himself in the game and is currently a representative of the Saudi-backed league.
