Wyndham Clark makes bold claim on Phil Mickelson & Brooks Koepka returning to PGA, as he dissects LIV dilemma
American professional Wyndham Clark is the latest golfer to share his thoughts on whether former PGA Tour golfers who left the tour to compete on LIV Golf should be allowed to come back on the PGA Tour. Clark spoke about this issue in detail and mentioned names like Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka.
During an appearance on the No Laying Up podcast, Clarm said that he thinks LIV Golfers should be allowed to come on the PGA Tour depending on who the golfer is. He mentioned golfers who had careers where they should be lifelong PGA Tour players deserve to come back.
"You know, if Dustin Johnson wants to come back and Phil Mickelson and guys that have won, and Brooks, who have won majors and are most likely hall of famers, they deserve to play wherever the hell they want because they are so good," Wyndham Clark said.

Wyndham Clark also mentioned that he didn't know if he would like to struggle with the golfers who did not have a pedigree career on the PGA Tour and chose to go to LIV Golf. As per Clark, such golfers chose to take the money, and that's something he and "most PGA Tour pros wrestle with."
