"Phil Mickelson will no longer serve as host of The American Express PGA Tour event in La Quinta."
/
That portion of the news was not a total shock since Mickelson kept a low profile in 2022 and was barely mentioned as having a special role and passed on a pre-tournament media session.
But the Tour is also cutting out his foundation as the charitable beneficiary of a tournament known for giving back:
In addition, the Mickelson Foundation, formed in 2019 specifically to be the charitable arm of the tournament, will no longer be part of the event, the tour confirmed. The foundation's contract with the tournament was to run through 2024.
