PGA Tour Stamps Authority and Shows No Mercy to Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson By Removing Them From the Record Books

The PGA tour and the LIV Golf rivalry has taken a new turn, and it involves former PGA Tour member, Phil Mickelson. After the recent changes by the PGA Tour, the big names of the golf world are being cut-off from the PGA Tour earnings. We know that the Tour suspended all the members who joined LIV Golf. And as a result, it led to the suspended members filing a lawsuit against PGA Tour, which included Mickelson.

Even though he later withdrew his name, it did not help him much. The PGA tour is standing by its decision and has removed several significant players from its earnings. Let’s go deeper and find out the facts.

No more big bucks for Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson?
