Phil Mickelson is surely one of the best golfers in the world. However, the fan-favorite off late has come up and spoken against the PGA Tour, pointing out how the organization never pays its players what they deserve. And while the debate around the legitimacy of that statement continues, we thought it is best we take a look at his PGA career earnings from the past five years and decide for ourselves.

Recently, Mickelson and the PGA Tour have seen some twists and turns in their relationship. Since the introduction of the Saudi League, Phil has been interested in the money being offered here as compared to the American golf organization.
