Jack Nicklaus doesn\u2019t seem to think highly of Phil Mickelson\u2019s career choices.<\/p>\n
The 85-year-old, who along with Tom Watson and Gary Player was one of the honorary starters at The Masters on Thursday, was asked about where Mickelson and Tiger Woods are currently at in their careers.<\/p>\n
Nicklaus made it sound like he doesn\u2019t consider LIV Golf to be serious competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what level Phil\u2019s competing at. I guess he\u2019s still playing \u2014 he\u2019s playing the LIV tour, isn\u2019t he? I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s played or not,\u201d Nicklaus said during a press conference. \u201cYou don\u2019t know, you don\u2019t see it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicklaus did later concede that Mickelson has \u201cbeen a good player, no question about that,\u201d but he heaped much more praise on Woods, who tore his Achilles last month and is out indefinitely.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Tiger will get well and Tiger will be back and playing,\u201d Nicklaus said. \u201cTiger will be 50 next year. I believe he\u2019ll probably play the senior tour and he\u2019ll probably dominate the senior tour. Tiger\u2019s too much of a competitor not to play. \u2026 I don\u2019t think Tiger will play for money. He doesn\u2019t need money.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several of golf\u2019s biggest names, including Mickelson, bolted the PGA Tour for big LIV Golf paydays, with some reportedly getting nine-figure contracts from the Saudi-backed league.<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old, a six-time major champion and three-time Masters winner, has played in four LIV events this year, most recently finishing in sixth at LIV\u2019s Miami event after shooting 1-under.<\/p>\n
Since Mickelson made a stunning Sunday run at the 2023 Masters to finish second, he\u2019s missed the cut at four of his last seven major appearances and finished no better than tied for 43rd during that span.<\/p>\n
He was off to a rough start Thursday at Augusta National for the 2025 Masters, sitting at 3-over through 11 holes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
