The two men have been rivals, occasional teammates, even business associates, and at each stage, they have drawn inevitable comparisons to the other. Alex Myers talks to the author of a new book on Tiger and Phil, in addition to others, to explore the most compelling personal dynamic in golf.

When Phil Mickelson found himself immersed in controversy recently thanks to comments related to the new Saudi golf tour, it was yet another moment that elicited comparisons to Tiger Woods. Whether making headlines, winning majors, or courting sponsors, Mickelson and Woods haven’t been able to escape each other’s shadows over the last quarter-century. In this episode of Local Knowledge, Alex Myers provides a history of Tiger and Phil’s relationship, and speaks to the author of a new book on the two, to explain how the two are markedly different, and how they’re more alike than either might want to admit.
