Mickelson: Super League Good For Fans And Media, But Not So Schedule Friendly

Phil Mickelson’s remarks to Bob Harig at ESPN.com suggest he continues to be intrigued by the Super/Premier/World Golf Series/Tourdeforce League concept:

"I think the fans would love it because they would see the best players play exponentially more times," Mickelson said after playing in the pro-am for the Wells Fargo Championship. "Instead of four or five times, it would be 20 times ... I don't know what the final number is.

"But that's a big deal to give up control of your schedule. I don't know if the players would be selfless enough to do that. But every other sport, the entity or teams or leagues control the schedule. The players kind of play where they are told to play. Whereas here, we're able to control it."

I’ve never heard the selfless angle, but given the apparent vaccine resistance on the Tour, he’s probably accurate.
