Harry Higgs and Keith Mitchell will take on Phil Mickelson and Joel Dahmen at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City on August 17th. And these players will have a money game with lots of trash talking. It’s just been two years since Harry Higgs has ben on the PGA Tour. But he has established himself as a solid golfer and perhaps has already become a fan favorite.

This event came out of nowhere. During a Q&A on Twitter, a guy asked Higgs who would he partner with to take on Phil and Brady in the next Match? To which Higgs responded that he will play with anyone. But he doesn’t think Phil Mickelson is ready for his trash talk. 

However, the legendary left-hander Phil Mickelson replied in his style and accepted the challenge. He said, “I might not be ready for your trash talk, but I am READY for you.”

Furthermore, Joel Dahmen asked to join in, and Mickelson grabbed him to be his partner. However, on the next day, Harry Higgs named Keith Mitchell as his partner, who started his 3M Open’s third round with seven straight birdies. Mickelson’s Tuesday money games are legendary, and this one shouldn’t disappoint.
