Phil Mickelson accuses PGA Championship of collusion against LIV Golf in deleted tweet

Phil Mickelson continues to lash out over what he perceives as collusion between the PGA Championship and PGA Tour adversely affecting his colleagues at LIV Golf.

Previously, Mickelson blasted the new USGA rule change that appears likely to keep LIV’s Talor Gooch out of the event as a “d–k move.”

Phil Mickelson accused the PGA Championship of colluding against LIV Golf competitors.

In a since-deleted tweet posted Thursday morning, Mickelson pointed out the differences in world player rankings of LIV Golf players excluded from the PGA Championship, and that of a PGA Tour professional who has made it in.

Mickelson tweeted that fellow LIV Golf competitors Cameron Tringale, Jason Kokrak and Sebastian Munoz are ranked Nos. 103, 110 and 111, respectively, while PGA Tour golfer Beau Hossler is ranked No. 128.

The former group is out of the PGA Championship field, while Hossler is in.

“Colluding with Tour and against LIV,” Mickelson tweeted, before firing warning shots at PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and USGA CEO Mike Whan. “3 years from now who is more likely to still be here? Monahan or LIV? We won’t forget. You too Whan.”

Last week, Mickelson took a number of shots at Whan over rule changes at the PGA Championship that pretty much only affected Gooch.

“[Gooch] qualified 9 months ago via Tour championship,” Mickelson tweeted on Friday. “3 months ago Whan changed the wording on the qualifying criteria to take it away. Total d–k move by Whan. He leads our governing body. Sad.”

It had been a week full of similar messages.

“Mike Whan recently changed the wording from ‘qualified’ for the Tour championship to ‘eligible,’ Mickelson had tweeted Tuesday.

“Thereby taking away Gooch’s exemption since he wasn’t eligible to play even though he had qualified. This doesn’t make the US open better in any way but does help collude with the Tour.”
