Phil Mickelson has always believed that Liv Golf will succeed. with Saudi -funded Saudi -funded connection set to start his fourth season next week Under the lights in RiadSaudi Arabia, the big winner six times is even more convinced that Liv Golf is here to stay.
From the global schedule in terms of the team, Mickelson has followed several reasons why LIV will remain part of the professional golf landscape even after the unification between the Saudi Arabic Public Investment Fund (PIF) and PGA Tour.
However, Mickelson believes that Liv has remained in force primarily because of what he believes is the main difference between their fan experience within the person and PGA Tour.
“So there are many reasons why I believe liv will be successful, but the number one reason would be something you wouldn’t think,” Mickelson Joe Pompliano told “Joe Pomp.” “That’s this: is how you feel. Here’s going with that. You can identify whether something is appropriate for you or not based on the way you feel. Am I anxious? Am I scaring something coming? I am eagerly and excited when you go to a PGA Tour event, it is very uncomfortable for a parent to bring a child because you have to be calm. Let’s get a look. It is not like other sports where you buy a place and you get 100 percent of the action and you don’t have to move. Tournament event because you have a six -year -old child or a young child, and you like, ‘Ok, don’t talk now. Come here. ‘Now they have walked and are tired and do not have a place to go. “
Mickelson believes that Liv represents a more friendly atmosphere for children, which will lead to people who return because of the positive experience.
“You go to a liv event, feel different,” Mickelson said. “Here’s why: you have music going when you’re on the course. We don’t hear small people say things. We don’t hear it. So you are not as worried as your children to be quiet. There is a fan area like in the course where you can sit, take a break, catch some drinks. Likes as a little dependent. You can take a nap. They have a children’s area from the club where, again, you can take a nap, play putt-putt, play games for them and entertain them with a big screen so you can still see What is going on with golf. So when you go there, you feel at ease. You feel comfortable. Likes like, ‘okay, our children had a good time. I was quiet. I didn’t worry. ‘
“I think this is the number one reason why liv will be successful. Because when you go experience it, you leave feeling different. You leave feeling like, ‘Oh, I really liked it. Let’s go back.
Mickelson told Pompliano that he believes the Golf world will continue to be shredded for some time, even after the union is over. He compared this to the turmoil that hit the music industry in the 2000s.
“I think it will be a longer rift period,” Mickelson said. “Yes, we are three of four years inside, but it will take some time for this partnership to work. It took some time for them to reach a deal. I think it will take years for it to play. But when all are Put and done, I think golf will be a better place. .
Mickelson believes that after this “transition period” is over, golf will become a more global game successful with more room for growth.
While Liv Golf’s long -term future is unknown, the leagues just signed up a deal on media rights With fox sports. New Agreement signals Liv plans to be part of the professional golf world For some time, and Mickelson believes they will end up being a permanent match regardless of the outcome of the PGA-Pif Union.
