Phil Mickleson To The Rescue
One can always count on Phil Mickelson to expose the shenanigans, be those of the USGA or the PGA Tour.
This time Mickelson went on Twitter to claim he was the recipient of the $8 million big ones, first place prize, of the secretive Player Impact ‘Welfare’ Program. But did he? Is this another one of Mickelson’s pranks?
Could it be Tiger Woods, who hasn’t played any meaningful golf in months, the surprise winner? Either way, to me, it is a bull$%#@ program that proves nothing about a player’s caliber or talent.
Yes, I call it a welfare program because it has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with how a player interacts on social media and how they engage with their sponsors.
If true, I want to thank Phil Mickelson for coming forward despite the fact the PGA Tour Commissar, Jay Monahan, wants to keep the ‘welfare’ program a secret.
