One of the highest profile defectors to LIV Golf jumped ship after 45 PGA Tour wins and six major championships. Phil Mickelson may have been 51 years old when he left, but he was only a season removed from winning the PGA Championship when he opted to cash in with the Saudi Arabian-backed company.

Mickelson brought his high-risk, high-reward style of play to the big money events of LIV, but his most successful result in nearly two years since came when he finished tied for second at the 2023 Masters. That’s his only top five result in any tournament since leaving in 2022.

It gets worse; despite smaller fields and no cut line, Mickelson has only managed a pair of top 10 finishes in 19 LIV Golf events to date. That’s a -1 score at 2023’s LIV Golf Invitational Bedminster and a -10 finish at LIV Golf Jeddah in 2024 that tied him for sixth.

In those 19 LIV events, he’s shot under par eight times. That’s still a solid number — especially for a golfer on the wrong side of 50 — but far from the Mickelson who was a perennial threat to take down every major in which he competed.
