Phil Mickelson trolls Tiger Woods on Twitter over LIV vs PGA
Phil Mickelson took a sly dig at Tiger Woods on Twitter during his back-and-forth arguments with the user over LIV Golf vs PGA Tour.
This happened when an account named "Flushing It" tweeted that if a LIV vs PGA Tour event ever took place, it would become the most viewed event in the history of the game.
"If there was a LIV v PGA Tour team event right now in a Ryder Cup format with Phil and Tiger as captains, it would be the most watched golf event in history."

Former NFL star Danny Woodhead shared the tweet in agreement with the user.
Easily! And im here for it! twitter.com/flushingitgolf…
To which Phil Mickelson replied that LIV golfers would dominate them and would be over pretty quickly if it ever happened.
"It sounds great,but we would dominate them so soundly and it would be over so quick that tv would have to fill an hour of dead time. That’s why it’s not happening at this time."
@danny__woodhead It sounds great,but we would dominate them so soundly and it would be over so quick that tv would have to fill an hour of dead time. That’s why it’s not happening at this time 🤷♂️
One user, excited by the idea, tweeted Woods to make it happen.
"@TigerWoods come on man. Let’s make it happen."
Mickelson trolled Woods, asking him to use a cart.
" Tell him he can use a cart."

This didn't go well with many golf fans and they hit back at Phil:

"I’m totally at peace with it"- Phil Mickelson on never playing on the PGA Tour again
It's been quite a while since Phil Mickelson defected to LIV Golf and the PGA Tour suspended him and other Saudi circuit-associated golfers from the Tour. However, it seems that Mickelson has accepted that and believes he might have played his last event on the PGA Tour.
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Phil Mickelson was asked if he ever thought about the possibility of never playing in another PGA Tour event. Mickelson responded that he was at peace even if he didn't get to play on the Tour again.
However, he added that he might get the chance next year.
"If I were never to play another PGA Tour event, I’m totally at peace with it," Phil Mickelson told SI. "But I believe by next year I’ll have the opportunity if I want [due to the pending litigation]. I don’t know if I’ll have the time."
