Let’s Not Learn the Wrong Lessons from Phil Mickelson’s Downfall

Let’s Not Learn the Wrong Lessons from Phil Mickelson’s Downfall

Things have been moving quickly for Phil Mickelson. After his comments about the Saudi-backed Super Golf League made headlines, he was dropped by most of his major sponsors and pilloried by both the media and his PGA Tour colleagues. The backlash was surprisingly severe, even if much of it was well deserved. Mickelson’s knowing involvement with Saudi sportswashing was indefensible. But that doesn’t mean that everything he said about the SGL was nonsense. In fact, his basic position that the PGA Tour needs to be challenged is worth taking seriously. So in this episode, Andy Johnson and Garrett Morrison discuss how competition from rival leagues could force the Tour to improve its product. Here is Garrett’s article “Phil Mickelson and the Uses of Leverage.” Also, check out the Fried Egg Events page on Golf Genius.
