Phil Mickelson reveals that more PGA Tour players are considering joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf for the 2024 season. Mickelson's statement comes amidst rumors of a potential merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. The golfer's comments align with reports from other sources, including Greg Norman, who states that LIV Golf will continue to exist separately from the PGA Tour. Mickelson's involvement in backdoor dealings with the Saudis is detailed in Alan Shipnuck's 'LIV and Let Die.' Ian Poulter, a prominent LIV Golf player, has been reassured by LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan about the series' long-term future. The situation between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour remains strained, as more players express interest in the Saudi-backed series.
LIV Golf players and execs are envisioning a big future — despite road blocks in merger talks with the PGA Tour. Hints at expansion, better rosters, and even the selling of equity in LIV teams are being dropped.
