Phil Mickelson isn’t giving up on his PGA Tour career and membership, but his involvement with LIV Golf might make that goal an impossible one to accomplish.
"My preference is to be able to choose which path I like, one or the other or both," Mickelson said Monday afternoon inside a packed press conference area at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., the site of this week's U.S. Open.
"I feel that I gave as much back to the PGA Tour and the game of golf that I could throughout my 30 years here. Through my accomplishments on the course, I've earned a lifetime membership. I intend to keep that. And then choose, going forward, which events to play and not." The inability to play on both tours makes it hard for Mickelson to nail down a firm schedule for 2022. That said, he does plan to compete at the British Open next month.
"I think it's been pretty public that I've been suspended, along with a bunch of other players," Mickelson said."It would only be speculative going forward. I am going to play the LIV events. I'm going to play the British Open. Anything other than that would be pure speculation. I don't know how it's going to play out."
