“Golf fans are winners, blood money not our concern”- New LIV golf event to feature the world’s best in an innovative team-format

Still from a LIV golf press conference

LIV Golf- Two former British Open champs will go head-to-head as team captains in LIV golf’s season-ending event that begins on Friday, in what is seen as a clinching argument to why LIV is here to stay and possibly even snatch PGA’s purse of endorsements very soon.

Legendary Australian golfer Cameron Smith will be part of the first team that is being captained by Brooks Koepka. The other team will be captained by American great Phil Mickelson. Watch them all together in an exciting flash-format interview below.

Mickelson joked about the prospects of having Smith in his team in a statement to reporters. “Yeah, this sucks, right? I mean, I don’t literally like the way this all worked out,” Mickelson said during a news conference where the matchups were announced.

“Look at Cam smile. Look how happy he is. This didn’t really work out the way we had planned at all,” Mickelson added in jest.

Mickelson recently stated that LIV Golf is going to be very successful in the near future and will evolve golf as a whole.

“I think going forward you have to pick a side. “You have to pick what side do you think is going to be successful. “I firmly believe that I’m on the winning side of how things are going to evolve and shape in the coming years for professional golf,” the former PGA champion said.

“I see LIV Golf trending upwards, I see the PGA Tour trending downwards,” Mickelson said. “I love the side that I’m on. And I love how I feel. I love how I’m reinvigorated and excited to play golf and compete. I love the experience. I love the way they treat us,” he added.

Since the inception of the cash-rich league, the heated exchange between PGA and LIV is just not dying down. Authorities from both leagues are blaming each other and even lawsuits are being filed in the court of law.

What do you think? Is it fair to look at the argument that LIV is ultimately good for the growth of golf in general? Or should we be more concerned about how the Saudi Arabia-backed league could be a cover for human-rights crimes? We would love to hear your thoughts on the exciting debate in the comments section below.
