"He's too soft to come" - Brandel Chamblee welcomes Phil Mickelson onto his set at The US Open amid fight with LIV Golf
Brandel Chamblee recently invited Phil Mickelson on the Live From Set at the US Open to discuss the game. The Golf Channel analyst recently tweeted inviting Mickelson on his show amid the fight with the newly formed LIV Golf series.
The inception of the Saudi-backed series ignited a lot of controversies. Although it's been more than a year since the formation of the golf series, the legal battle is still on.
Nonetheless, the fight is not limited to the court. Golfers and officials often engaged in heating debates on and off the golf course.
Bradley Chamblee took to his Twitter account to say:
"Phil is welcome to come on the Live From set at the US Open to discuss the merits of playing for scary MFers, as he called them, and the Billy Walters book that comes out August 22… but my guess he’s too soft to come on and debate."
The Nuclear Golf reshared the post on their account with a caption saying:
"Brandel says he’ll welcome LIV star @PhilMickelson onto the set of Live From The US OPEN. This could be good!"
Interestingly, Phil Mickelson replied in the comments section. He wrote:
"Did Brandel say something?"
Phil Mickelson could not read the tweet shared by Chamblee as he blocked the LIV golfer. Mickelson shared a screenshot that says:
"@chambleebrandel blocked you."
Fans also jumped into the comments section and wrote that Phil Mickelson will not join Brandel Chamblee.
"Mickelson blocks everyone on this app that actually tells the truth about him. He will never come on national television," a fan wrote.
"Zero chance of this happening. Phil is nothing but keyboard warrior at this point," another fan wrote.
"Phil won’t go. He didn’t go when Colt Knost invited him to his podcast. What does that tell you about being soft," another tweeted.
