Phil Mickelson's Crazy and Controversial Season Ends With Loss to ... (Sports Illustrated)

Cam Smith's final-hole birdie ended the season for the Hy Flyers and Phil Mickelson, whose comments, actions and new league were the talk of the year.

The team that gets two out of three points will advance to Sunday’s final round. Will there be a shakeup of all the LIV Golf teams? It’ll allow me a chance to get in the physical shape I need to be able to swing the club the way I need to speed-wise, as well as practice with enough reps to sustain that. “Internationally, there's a lot of support and desire to have tournaments. The actual golf has never really been the story, and going forward that will have to change, but getting to watch a six-time major winner go up against one of the best players in the world was fairly compelling on a course long-ago made famous. “I’m pretty surprised at how far LIV has come because there was a lot of uncertainty, like who would play in London," Mickelson said following the round.

Lynch: As LIV Golf's season winds down, the propaganda war is just ... (usatoday.com)

LIV golfers are rendered bots, peddling a narrative of success achieved and traction gained, despite scant supporting evidence.

It won’t emanate only from those with no stomach for a fight and who want an exit ramp to easy street, but also from industry figures who sense an opportunity to suction Saudi money and who need to first position their avarice as an act of conciliation for the good of the sport. But there will also be a steady drumbeat for a deal to end the rancor. There’s no TV deal, despite LIV negotiating to buy time on Fox Sports for its product, and no major sponsors eager to don a hazmat suit and climb aboard the Good Ship Shark. “Making the jump into a start up product like LIV and seeing it grow so much, so quickly has been exciting and rewarding to be part of,” wrote Graeme McDowell. The worldwide viewing audience for LIV events is often comparable to the number of Super Bowl viewers who might die of natural causes before the halftime show, and that in turn is a multiple of the number of spectators on site. Edward Bernays was considered the godfather of American propaganda, the dark art politely referred to in corporate circles as public relations and marketing.

'A lot of stuff is going to happen': Phil Mickelson looks to the future ... (usatoday.com)

Phil Mickelson looked to the future after his turbulent first year with LIV Golf came to a close at the team championship in Miami.

“I’m pretty surprised at how far LIV has come because there was a lot of uncertainty, like who would play in London. “Whether you love them or hate them, there’s a lot of guys here that people want to see.” First, in February, he said the PGA Tour was obnoxiously greedy, and then he told the Fire Pit Collective’s Alan Shipnuck – who wrote a book on Mickelson – that the [Saudis were “scary mother(expletive) to get involved with,”](https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/02/17/phil-mickelson-pga-tour-saudi-golf-league/) and downplayed the murder of Washington Post reporter and U.S. From there Mickelson struggled to find form in the 48-player, 54-hole, no cut LIV events, finishing inside the top 20 just twice (in two of his last three events), with finishes of T-33 or worse in his other five starts. I’m starting to start play a lot better.” resident Jamal Khashoggi and the Kingdom’s deplorable human rights record because he saw a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.” The ensuing backlash forced Mickelson into a self-imposed four-month hiatus [before he returned to the game](https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/06/06/phil-mickelson-playing-liv-golf-london-greg-norman/) at LIV’s first event outside London.
