Phil Mickelson: Success of LIV Golf will be my legacy
When the history of golf since comes to be written, a significant chapter will be devoted to the exploits of Phil Mickelson.
A six-time Major winner who spent more than 25 years in the world top 50, Mickelson now performs the role of respected elder statesman with the enduring charisma that made him so popular with golf fans.
He was one of the most significant initial recruits to LIV Golf in , and combines his captaincy of the HyFlyers team with a burning desire to bring the game to the next generation of players and spectators.
Mickelson told LIV Golf’s Fairway To Heaven podcast in that he is already looking to the next 10 years, and the ways in which he can help to create more opportunities for young golfers.
Indeed, when asked what he would like his legacy to be, he replied: “LIV Golf, and helping get the game to a younger crowd, helping to grow the game on a global basis.
“We are invested and involved in the success of LIV, we’re attracting a different crowd and a global crowd, which is critical to the long-term success of the game.
“Hopefully my connection with LIV, and the success of LIV, will be what I’m known for.”

"I can't believe he just did that." No athlete hears those words more often than Phil Mickelson. Sometimes, they are uttered in stunned admiration for a seemingly impossible shot. Just as often, they are offered in sharp criticism for an awful lapse of judgment. Either way, Phil keeps writers, broadcasters, and fans entertained. Lefty's syrupy swing and Houdini-like short game are the envy of the golf world. Too bad the same can't be said of his course management. Ironically, while Phil's trophy case is full of hardware from sweet victories—plus three Masters green jackets—it is quite possible that he will be best remembered for his bitter defeats. This is his story&#;
