Mickelson recently sat down for an interview with Joe Pompliano at the Joe Pump Show. In the interview, “The Lefty” pointed out why LIV Golf would be more successful than the PGA Tour. He mentioned how bringing children to the PGA Tour event is uncomfortable for a parent.

So Phil says kids get a better experience at events funded by a murderous regime than at events funded by a philanthropic organization… got it.
