Phil Mickelson hints at retirement as he reflects on golf career and future with LIV Golf

Phil Mickelson, the six-time Major champion, has hinted at the possibility of retirement as he acknowledges that his golf career is “towards its end.” Despite a strong second-place finish at the Masters last year, Mickelson has struggled to find his form since his historic PGA Championship victory in 2021 at the age of 50.

The American golfer, who is now 53, has only managed a ninth-place finish at LIV Jeddah in March and has failed to crack the top 30 in five other events this season. As he prepares for the upcoming US Open, where he will aim to complete the career grand slam, Mickelson has already started to shift his focus towards the next chapter of his golfing journey.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV for an upcoming episode of Latitude with Haslinda Amin, Mickelson expressed his desire to help others find the same enjoyment and fulfillment that golf has brought him over the years. Despite the potential end of his competitive career, Mickelson remains optimistic about the future of golf, particularly with his involvement in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf.

As one of the first big names to support LIV Golf, Mickelson believes in the potential growth and success of the sport in the coming years. He emphasized the quality of players improving each year, the excitement of playing in different countries, and the hunger for world-class professional golf outside of the United States.

While Mickelson’s retirement may be on the horizon, his passion for the game and his desire to share its joys with others remain unwavering. As he continues to compete and contribute to the growth of golf, fans can expect to see more of Mickelson’s influence both on and off the course in the years to come.
