Phil Mickelson admits he's been "a bit chippy" ahead of LIV Golf Tulsa
Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson admits he's been "chippy" on Twitter as of late.
LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson has admitted that he's been "a bit chippy" on Twitter ahead of the LIV Golf Tulsa event in Oklahoma this week.
The six-time major champion has been one of the most active professional golfers on Twitter during LIV Golf's off week.
During the short break, Mickelson made jabs at both USGA CEO Mike Whan and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.
The 52-year-old was outraged by fellow LIV Golf member, Talor Gooch's lack of invitation to the US Open in June.

In one tweet from last Wednesday, Mickelson said Whan was working with the Tour to keep LIV Golf players out of the USGA's major.
He wrote:

He tweeted:
Mickelson proceeded to share a clip explaining the technique:
