[Golf Topic] Mickelson 'PGA Tour Comeback?'... Commissioner "Welcome If He Returns"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…There are signs of an escape route opening for Phil Mickelson (USA, photo), who has been cornered in a 'siege situation.'

Jay Monahan, Commissioner of the PGA Tour, said on the 9th (Korean time), "If Mickelson wants to return to the PGA Tour, he is welcome." Mickelson faced backlash after leading the establishment of the Super Golf League (SGL), supported by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, and claiming that the PGA Tour exploits players financially. He lost sponsors such as KPMG, Workday, Callaway, and American Express, and was also criticized by fellow players.

Mickelson has apologized and is keeping a low profile, refraining from participating in PGA Tour events. Commissioner Monahan praised him, saying, "Mickelson has 45 wins on the PGA Tour and is inducted into the Hall of Fame," and "He has inspired many people" and "He has greatly contributed to the growth of the PGA Tour." He added, "When Mickelson is ready to return to the PGA Tour, I will talk with him," and "We are waiting."
