The PGA Tour-LIV Golf drama has entered its newest phase: litigation. Eleven players, including Phil Mickelson, filed an antitrust suit against the PGA Tour on Wednesday, alleging the Tour acted unlawfully by suspending LIV Golf players. The plaintiffs seek to have their suspensions overturned and playing privileges reinstated, with a smaller group hoping for a temporary restraining order so they can participate in the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

PHIL MICKELSON has looked remarkably trim in recent times - a far cry from his former self. The 51-year-old rolled back the years to win the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island last summer and capture his sixth major. 'Lefty' cut a rather portly figure in the mid-2000s - as he has personally acknowledged - but has cleaned up his diet with remarkable results. After piling on a few too many pounds, the American has put considerable effort into streamlining his physique in recent years. A diagnosis for psoriatic arthritis in 2010 is partly credited with alerting Mickelson of his need...

Federal auditors investigating Phil Mickelson’s role in an insider trading scheme found his gambling losses totaled more than $40 million from 2010 to 2014, according to an excerpt from Alan Shipnuck’s forthcoming biography.

Phil Mickelson suffered a staggering $40 million gambling loss between 2010 and 2014, according to his biographer. Alan Shipnuck, a former golf reporter for Sports Illustrated, has a Mickelson biography entitled, “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar,” which is coming out later this month. In a book excerpt published on the Fire Pit Collective website, Shipnuck cites documents that were compiled when government auditors conducted a “forensic” analysis of Mickelson’s finances during the time he was embroiled in an insider trading case involving famed professional gambler Billy Walters

Professional golfer Phil Mickelson triggered leftists on social media after asking some logical questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and its latest variant. The 51-year-old PGA champion said he was “just curious” about some things regarding the omicron variant and posed questions that many would agree were fair things to consider, be they from politicians and public health officials or from non-experts such as Mickelson. Serious question since I’m not a dr. If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it?” he asked in a tweet on Thursday. “Why not let it...

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — With a victory at the P.G.A. Championship on Sunday, Phil Mickelson, who will turn 51 next month, became the oldest golfer to win a major championship. The oldest previously was Julius Boros, who was 48 when he won the 1968 P.G.A. Championship. Mickelson shot six under par for the tournament, finishing two strokes ahead of the runners-up, Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen. It was Mickelson’s sixth major title, something only 14 male golfers have achieved. Mickelson was the seventh to reach that total since 1964. Mickelson has won the Masters tournament three times and was the...

Phil Mickelson, trying at 50 to become golf's oldest major winner, continues his chase for a victory for the ages in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship at blustery Kiawah Island. Five-time major champion Mickelson and South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen were set for an afternoon start in the final group over the punishing Ocean Course, the longest layout in major golf history at 7,876 yards. Mickelson and Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, shared the lead on five-under par 139 after 36 holes of battling the wind-swept coastal course. With a victory, Mickelson would break the major tournament age...

Phil will be 51 years old in a couple weeks. Most of the leaders from Round One are still on the course, so Phil's one stroke lead will probably not hold up. But, it is still exciting to see great players from an earlier era make a serious run at one of the Four Major Championships.

Woods and Manning are +3

Just when you thought the weather at this year's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am [2019] couldn't get any worse, it got worse. A lot worse, actually. Wind and rain on Saturday turned to hail and ice on Sunday on the Monterey Peninsula, and the final round of the tournament was suspended at 1:53 p.m. ET on Sunday. This followed an hour-long delay to start the day for more inclement weather. The photos and videos that emerged from the event were pretty wild, too. It's one thing to get hail. It's another to get it at a PGA Tour event. And it's...

The two golf greats will meet Friday afternoon, with the broadcast starting at 2 p.m. EST. It is being shown on DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse and other cable and satellite outlets for $19.95.

The broadcast will feature both golfers mic'd up as well as microphones placed on their caddies (Joe LaCava for Woods and Tim Mickelson for his older brother). With the showdown on pay-per-view, there will be no commercial breaks and plenty of opportunities to hear both golfers try to one-up each other with (gentlemanly) trash talk and verbal jabs.

U.S. authorities have launched an investigation into the former chairman of Dean Foods, the country's largest milk processor, who is suspected of leaking confidential information about a corporate spinoff to a professional gambler, who in turn is thought to have tipped off pro golfer Phil Mickelson, the Wall Street Journal reported. Tom Davis, 66, abruptly resigned as chairman last week ahead of Dean Foods' second quarter earnings release on Monday. The company declined to provide details on his sudden departure, while Davis' lawyer said his resignation was voluntary, the WSJ reported. The Securities and Exchange Commission together with the Manhattan...

By now most are familiar with the allegations involving championship golfer Phil Mickelson. Supposedly using information passed on to him by Las Vegas bettor William Walters, Mickelson allegedly completed stock-market trades that were informed by tips given to Walters by billionaire investor Carl Icahn. Mickelson has denied any wrongdoing in the confused legal sense of "insider trading," but assuming he's committed capital based on privileged information provided by Icahn, readers should cheer his actions. To be blunt, to the extent that Mickelson traded on information that originated with Icahn, he's a hero for having so done so. That's the case...

In Liberal theology telling the truth is a sin; acknowledging that success comes from hard work and not “winning life’s lottery” is a bigger sin. But being wealthy White and committing these sins makes them still bigger and clearly unforgivable. When professional golfer Phil Mickelson complained about his taxes being too high he committed the Liberal sin of telling the truth. Their selectively applied “speaking truth to power” slogan aside, Liberals become furious at people who tell the emperor he is naked. When Mickelson said he was tired of paying an aggregate tax of 63% after all of the bites...

Here are a few highlights from Tiger Woods' Tuesday morning news conference in advance of this week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. --Tiger agrees with Phil? Well, sort of. Phil Mickelson made news this week when he said he might leave California because of the state's income tax laws. "Well, I moved out of here back in '96 for that reason," Woods explained. "I enjoy Florida, but also I understand what he was, I think, trying to say. I think he'll probably explain it better and in a little more detail." Mickelson's pre-tournament interview is scheduled for Wednesday.

Just a day after Phil Mickelson said he needed to make "drastic changes" in his life because his tax rate was going through the roof, he is trying to walk back his comments. He released a statement through his spokesman T.R. Reinman in which Mickelson apologizes to anyone who may have been offended: "Finances and taxes are a personal matter and I should not have made my opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and assure you I intend to not let it happen again." This is absurd. There is no need for a...

Mickelson expects to make 'drastic' changes LA QUINTA — San Diego professional golfer Phil Mickelson said after the final round of the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge on Sunday that he will have to make “drastic changes” in his life because of the federal and state taxes he is paying, and he confirmed that his decision to not buy an interest in the Padres was directly related to his financial situation. "I'll probably talk more in depth next week (at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines). I'm not going to jump the gun,” Mickelson said. “There are going to be...
