Show Notes

One year ago, Phil Mickelson was riding the highest of highs, having won the PGA Championship, and becoming the oldest major champion in golf history. But now, after making controversial comments about Saudi Arabia and a new Saudi-backed golf league, “Lefty” has found himself in hot water and a self-imposed exile from the PGA. Mickelson's unofficial biographer, Alan Shipnuck, who published the comments that landed Mickelson in hot water earlier this year, joins us today to discuss the golf superstar’s tumultuous year, new revelations about the scale of his gambling losses, and what a path to redemption would look like for the golf legend.
