The team discuss the rise, and more recently fall, of 2013 Open champion Phil Mickelson

Katherine Downes and ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ golf correspondent Iain Carter discuss the rise, and more recently fall, of Open champion Phil Mickelson.

They’re joined by Sports Illustrated journalist Bob Harig to celebrate his playing career, to look back on his memorable Open victory in 2013 at Muirfield and to analyse his rivalry with Tiger Woods.

Biographer Alan Shipnuck, who published Mickelson’s comments on Saudi Arabia earlier this year, tells us what he’s made of Mickelson’s downfall since those quotes were released.

The panel discuss whether Mickelson has damaged his legacy after breaking away from the PGA Tour and signing up to the controversial Saudi-backed LIV golf series.
