They have to put them together correct?
Pair them up!
All I have to say is if Phil doesn’t plan to play them please withdraw now so someone else can have a chance and prepare appropriately…please Phil. Do the right thing for once.
Can we get that pairing with Phil please! Throw Sergio in that and you have some major entertainment 😶🌫️
Let's go!!!!

Mickelson defending champion ,6 times major champion enough said
Any others with no chance that you want to list?
I guess we know who we’ll only be seeing on the telecast. 🙄
Boo....yay.
Meanwhile, the golf analyst Amanda Rose had a different take on the news.
Phil Mickelson (still) being in the field for PGA Champ is a great opportunity for Scottie Scheffler to win a 2nd major in a row. Like The Masters, he can fly under radar. All of the focus won’t be on Scottie. He can go to Chipotle in peace and focus on winning.
The post also received much engagement from golf fans. Some had supported her viewpoint, Meanwhile, some didn’t. Notably, Scheffler had revealed his way of ordering from the fast-food restaurant Chipotle. The reason why she had referred to it in her post.
Scottie’s had an unbelievable 3 month run. The regression starts now
I saw Scottie on 8 at Augusta on Saturday. Up by like 5. Nobody was around. Like…I walked right up and watched him hit out of the bunker. He flys under the radar all the time.
Scottie can't ever go to Chipotle in peace again.
I think we are seeing the greatest golfer in this decade in Scheffler and he is not attracting a lot of attention.
No one cares about Phil being there. Everyone will be following Tiger. So Scottie can still fly under the radar
What do you think of Mickelson and Woods being part of the 2022 PGA Championship? Moreover, do you want them to be paired together? Who do you think has a chance of winning the event, Tiger or Phil, or someone else?
