The recent announcement of the LIV Golf Series has got caught up in quite the stir of controversy, as the Saudi backed golf series has attracted the attention of many. Among these golfers include Phil Mickelson, Ian Poulter, Dustin Johnson and Kevin Na to name a few.

Phil Mickelson in his recent Twitter post has put out a statement that talked about opening up a new chapter in his life with the LIV Series. Mickelson said that the progressive format of the series will also be exciting for the fans, while also providing balance to the golfers to help them lead healthy lives. “I am incredibly grateful for what this game and the PGA Tour has given me. I would like to think that I have given back as well but now I am excited about this new opportunity.”

Twitterati was however, not convinced with the statement, as several people thought this to be a cover up for the amount of money he is receiving for attending the series.

“I am thrilled to begin with LIV Golf and I appreciate everyone involved. I also intend to play the majors.
