He's extremely petty. I think he always has been but over the last few years has done a poor job of hiding it, like he did throughout most of his career.

He’s such a whiny little bitch. Can’t stand him

Took my second lesson today. Highly recommend anyone who has played for years and just tried to figure it out themselves to just take a lesson or two. Really learning a lot

THIS

I've been playing mediocre golf for 55 years.

I took a lesson last year and it immediately paid off.

Been on break for med reasons, but will begin playing again and will get regular help.

Sort of. What the tour did was akin to deferred maintenance. They should’ve been anticipating the transition to a post-Tiger era long before it happened. Instead, they got lazy and allowed themselves to get cucked by the Saudi’s. They’re lucky to still be around. If non-blood money had been behind LIV most everyone would’ve jumped. And what did it cost LIV, a few billion $? In terms of buying one of the top 4-5 sports leagues in the US, that’s an insanely good value.

As for Phil, his schtick worked for a long time, but the mask eventually came off. He’s the epitome of, “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.”

I’d agree with most of this. The PGA had a model that benefited them and they thought no one would ever get upset about it. Is Phil a giant narcissist? Probably. Was he right about the things he complained with the PGA? Mostly. I know Phil is no where near the most hated guy on golf tours but most of this started when Shipnuck “allegedly” quoted Phil for his book and denied it.

Don’t look now, but Phil’s at T18 right now.

And he missed the cut

They don’t call him Phil the Thrill for nothing
