Red, the thread at golf wrx is now 53 pages deep..wont end , lol. here are just a few. Got a hunch the hecklers will be out at his next tourney...
The more I think about this, the more I simply cannot fathom how resoundingly stupid and selfish Mickelson is in all of this.
Looking to the world outside of golf, everything is becoming more expensive. Inflation and the cost of living is increasing. Whether it’s to fill up the car, heat a home or buy food everything is being pinched. Sure some might not feel the pinch as much as others but it’s there. To have a someone estimated to be worth $400 million and taking home $50 million a year essentially tell us that he is not making enough money…that is beyond tone deaf. That is someone so absorbed in his own self importance that we need to come up with a new word because good old fashioned narcissism doesn’t even come close.
Inside of the golf world, I cannot accept that Phil is doing this for anyone other than himself. I am sure that there is a point that those further down the ladder or young guys coming onto Tour have it quite tough. I am not sure how it can be painted that Phil is trying to look out for them. Look at what he said. This is all about him trying to rinse everything that he can out of Tour that has provided him a lifestyle beyond the comprehension of all but 0.000001% of the world.
I’d always kind of been willing to give Phil a pass, the ready smile and being a good guy with the crowds helped diffuse the more out there comments and thoughts that he had before now. For me, that pass has been revoked. He can go and rub himself up to Saudi’s and Greg Norman as much as he wants. Goodness knows, with the amount of missed cuts he has had the last year, he has plenty of time on his hands to do just that.

Tone deaf. Selfish. Self absorbed. However you want to put it.
No one wants to hear about billionaires arguing with hundred millionaires arguing with millionaires about making more money.
Best of luck Phil. But please take Bryson with you on your way out the door.
