Tiger Woods has been in the media a lot lately due to his criticisms of live golf not only that but he’s also been taking shots at the League’s members like mikkelson and of course the boss Greg Norman but Phil Mickelson isn’t having none of that as he wasted no time

In responding to Woods comments in today’s video we’re going to talk about melson’s defense of his organization and more so keep watching first up mikkelson Tweets in response to Woods’s comments just when we thought the feud between live golf and the PGA Tour was settling down someone had to come out and

Reignite the Flames of course that’s someone we’re talking about as none other than Tiger Woods himself the 15 time major winner has been on a hot Street lately appearing in front of the press and making comments that honestly just spark more controversy what’s even more surprising though is the fact that

The majority of these comments come from a single Press Conference during his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas Now the headline making statement was obviously about Greg Norman’s position at Liv golf as according to Woods he really needs to step down for peace to Prevail between the PGA Tour and the

Saudi League we get why that one caught everyone’s attention a comment that went rather unnoticed however was when Woods was asked about Phil mikkelson’s move to live the reporter referred to the fact that the tour is now bringing in its big money elevated events in response to the

Breakaway League something that was a sticking point for mikkelson before he left so Woods was asked if the tour owes Lefty an apology now to which he said absolutely not of course most people would think of this as a normal statement but it looks like melson

Really took it to heart as merely hours after the press conference he logged straight onto Twitter to fire some shots back at the 46-year-old and hit him with some cold hard facts up next mikkelson says the PGA Tour money claims are fake news now Woods’s comments about mikkelson were actually followed by an

Explanation and during that explanation the golfing Legend claims that the tour had to take out an enormous loan during the pandemic because it was really struggling to make ends meet what’s more had the pandemic been extended for another year then the association would have literally run out of money the

Situation was that dire obviously everything’s worked out in the end as the situation got better pretty quickly as a result they basically have some extra cash now that they’re using to fund these elevated events meaning that this couldn’t have been done during mikkelson’s time on the tour and to be

Fair multiple people have spoken up about the pga’s financial problems over the past couple of years the Liv star however doesn’t believe these claims one bit as according to him the tour has had enough cash to fund everything for years now not to mention he has said this

Before too that the association is sitting on $800 million an amount it refuses to spend so after hearing woods’ comments mikkelson couldn’t help but hop on to Twitter to double down on his stance in reply to a tweet quoting him and woods he essentially posted the tour’s IRS 990 tax form from 2018

Detailing all of his assets stocks and reserves and honestly it does say 700 million in cash and over a billion dollars in non-liquid assets what’s more Lefty even clarified that this was from the nonprofit section and that this information is just a simple Google search away coming up are Mickelson’s

Figures accurate it’s easy to Google something and post it on the internet without factchecking besides even if something is true does that inherently make it accurate okay maybe that sounds a bit too philosophical and we’ll have to call up our boy Aristotle to answer the point is that the IRS figures don’t

Show the full picture as looking at someone’s assets or reserves doesn’t tell you if they’ve got liabilities as well also to really get the full picture you need the added context of complete financial statements and apparently there are a lot of nuances when it comes to the tour’s records for starters the

Association itself issued a statement clarifying that it didn’t take out a loan to deal with the pandemic that said it did use its reserves and quote unquote mitigating actions to to deal with the crisis so according to them Woods was referring to the fact that their reserves would have dipped before

$100 million if golf hadn’t returned in 2020 after that however golf news Nets Ryan bingy decided to put the matter to rest and post the entire PGA Tour balance sheet for 2020 and in that it can be clearly seen that they do have $1.6 billion in liabilities through

Their retirement program not to mention their loans and notes receivable line also went up by almost $240 million in 2020 which is a massive jump for a single year so perhaps wood did have a point about their financial troubles moving on why would the tour owe mikkelson an apology all right so this

Drama didn’t stem out of nowhere and actually has been brewing up for quite some time now and that’s why to really get why Woods was even asked about mikkelson during his press conference we have to go back and contextualize everything now as we mentioned earlier the reporter’s question was about

Whether the PGA tour owes Mickelson an apology or not wait a second though why would the association owe Lefty an apology like sure for the fact that they’ve suspended his membership for defecting to live golf that one makes sense but for coming up with elevated events how does that connect to the

52-year-old well it all started a few years ago when mikkelson spoke up against the tour regarding his compensation according to him the PGA Tour was being unfair for not giving its athletes medor rights on top of that they were also o taking major chunks of cash just for exhibition matches for

Instance if someone wanted to take part in the match they’d have to pay a million dollar so all of these things combined with the fact that the association didn’t nearly pay its winners as much money as it earned was a massive issue for melson that’s literally where the $800 million quote

Comes from as well cuz according to the six-time major winner they could easily afford to spend more on their athletes hence in a way the PGA Tour is proving them right by introducing these new Big Money events and player IMPACT Program now which is why people think the

Association owes him an apology not to mention the tour spending has been a point of contention Mickelson isn’t the only person who is pointed toward the tour spending habits as an issue as a matter of fact this is one of the biggest talking points of the whole PGA

Tour verse live golf debate as well those on the Saudi League side for example think that the tour is supposed to be a nonprofit organization that distributes extra money to charity that being said they still have a ton of cash on hand which makes you question their

Actual motives as a matter of fact some people have even accused the association of lobbying and using its money to run propaganda against the Breakaway league and let’s be fair they do have a lot of influence over the political establishment plus a lot of media Outlets have also been known to favor

The tour a lot more than any neutral would Patrick Reed is a great example of this as according to him the PGA has paid journalists to run a smear campaign against him not to mention he’s gone as far as to sue all these entities for damaging his reputation so yeah there

Are a lot of question marks looming over the tour spending habits then again you can’t say that live golf doesn’t do the same thing cuz to be fair money is their superpower and they’ve been exploiting it pretty generously as well finally Phil wasn’t the only person that would

Criticize yep in the press conference the 15-time major winner also talked about how Greg Norman needs to resign from Liv golf if the world wants peace between the Saudi league and the PGA tour of course he’s not the first person to say these things as Rory mroy also

Asked Norman to step down from his role as according to him the Liv Chief was way too immature to handle any serious truce talks oh and then there’s the issue of the lawsuits as well unfortunately for the PGA Tour members however it doesn’t look like the Australian Legend is going anywhere as

He was once again front and center in a new live golf press release and in that Norman announced four of the 14 destinations for its 2023 League schedule what’s more he also mentioned how it circuits truly a global League that’s dedicated to expanding the sport so yeah he’s still making moves over

There and we don’t think anyone’s going to replace him anytime soon that’s a wrap for this video do you think there’s anything fishy about the PGA Tour spending let us know in the comments below make sure to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel
