In a recent bombshell report, Vanity Fair has brought to light new allegations regarding Phil Mickelson’s activities leading up to the official debut of the LIV Golf League.
These claims, which are further detailed in Alan Shipnuck’s upcoming book on the PGA Tour’s confrontation with LIV Golf, shed light on Mickelson’s behind-the-scenes dealings.
Taking us back to May 2021, Phil Mickelson was preparing to participate in the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. At that time, few people believed he had a shot at victory.
Nevertheless, he stunned the world of professional sports by fending off Brooks Koepka and becoming the oldest male player to win a major championship.
During this period, the general public remained largely unaware of the impending launch of a new golf league with financial support from Saudi oil interests.
However, behind the scenes, significant developments were unfolding. According to the Vanity Fair report, it is claimed that while Mickelson was in discussions with Golf Saudi representatives, he was also attempting to promote an alternative tour supported by a billionaire from the realm of sports betting.
