Phil Mickelson stance on LIV Golf future clear despite woeful ranking
Phil Mickelson has struggled badly this season on the LIV Golf tour, with the six-time major winner dropping down to 43rd in the breakaway league’s standings
Phil Mickelson has no plans to leave LIV Golf
Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson anticipates sticking with the LIV Golf tour for the foreseeable.
That’s despite faltering performances this season and rumors concerning his imminent departure from professional golf, Mickelson remains committed to the league.
Even though his displays have been less than stellar lately – with the American 43rd in LIV Golf’s standings – Mickelson made a remarkable comeback at the 2023 Masters, clinching second place. But this was his highest-ranking finish in nearly three decades.
However, his subsequent struggles on the breakaway circuit and high-profile departure from the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed league have attracted substantial criticism.

In an interview on the Fairway to Heaven podcast, Mickelson expressed his determination to remain in the league despite these challenges. He said:”I knew the first two years were going to be rough – and here we are, two years in now, and it’s totally different. We’re having a blast here. We’re having so much fun.”
Mickelson currently captains the HyFlyers team in LIV Golf, which sadly ranks second-to-last out of 13 teams. Regardless, the 54-year-old veteran golfer expresses no regrets about how things unfolded and embraces the idea of linking his legacy to his transition to the LIV Golf tour.
