Phil Mickelson Reflects on Future as Playing Days Near End Ahead of LIV Singapore

Phil Mickelson, one of professional golf’s greatest ever players, has hinted that his playing days may be coming to an end as he opened up about his future ahead of LIV Singapore this week. The HyFlyers captain, who has won 45 PGA Tour titles and six major championships during his illustrious career, admitted that at 53 years old, his career is nearing its conclusion.

Since joining LIV Golf in 2022, Mickelson has not been able to replicate the form that made him a legend on the PGA Tour. Despite this, he has still managed to earn almost £5 million in prize money. With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2024 season, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the three-time Masters champion.

Speculation is rife that Mickelson could transition into a non-playing captain role for the HyFlyers, a move that would keep him involved in the LIV setup. His influence within the team was evident last week when teammate Brendan Steele secured a victory at LIV Adelaide, with Steele crediting Mickelson for his support and guidance.

As Mickelson contemplates his next move, he expressed his desire to help others find the same enjoyment and fulfillment in golf that he has experienced throughout his career. While his playing days may be numbered, Mickelson’s impact on the sport is sure to endure for years to come.
