Phil Mickelson: Success of LIV Golf will be my legacy

When the history of golf since 1990 comes to be written, a significant chapter will be devoted to the exploits of Phil Mickelson.

A six-time Major winner who spent more than 25 years in the world top 50, Mickelson now performs the role of respected elder statesman with the enduring charisma that made him so popular with golf fans.

He was one of the most significant initial recruits to LIV Golf in 2022, and combines his captaincy of the HyFlyers team with a burning desire to bring the game to the next generation of players and spectators.

Mickelson told LIV Golf’s Fairway To Heaven podcast in 2024 that he is already looking to the next 10 years, and the ways in which he can help to create more opportunities for young golfers.

Indeed, when asked what he would like his legacy to be, he replied: “LIV Golf, and helping get the game to a younger crowd, helping to grow the game on a global basis.

“We are invested and involved in the success of LIV, we’re attracting a different crowd and a global crow
