Nick Faldo found Phil Mickelson’s silence deafening.
The two legendary golfers have been at odds since Mickelson left the PGA Tour to join the controversial LIV Golf in 2022.
The two met earlier this week at the Masters Champions Dinner in Augusta, Georgia. Faldo, now retired, commented on Sky Sports.
Faldo told the audience that Mickelson was in a depressed mood and that his reunion with other PGA golfers was awkward. According to The Sun.
“On Tuesday, Phil was very quiet and didn’t say anything,” Fuld said. “He was standing next to me very quietly. I wonder why.”
Mickelson won the Masters in 2004, 2006 and 2010.
Faldo won in 1989, 1990 and 1996.
Fuld said last year that he didn’t think LIV Golf would last this long after the $3 billion merger between PGA and LIV investors.
“I don’t think so, because no one is really interested,” Fuld said at the time. “They call it a team (event), but it’s not because it’s stroke play. … There’s really only six active players. Half the field, I don’t know, half the field. , you’re there to get that very nice bottom prize that you get even if you bat 20 overs.”
It was more obvious than the subtle shots Faldo hit at the competitive level of LIV Golf.
Defending Masters champion Jon Rahm is an LIV participant, playing what Faldo calls a “resort course.”
Faldo knows he successfully defended his Masters title.
“It’s a different thing if he can come on defense and still do it or if he’s not sharp enough because he hasn’t tested himself too much,” Faldo said. according to the mirror“We’ll have to wait and see.”
