If the Premier Golf League becomes a real thing, Phil Mickelson sounds like he would entertain the idea of joining it.

Per ESPN's Bob Harig, Mickelson called the potential for a new tour "intriguing."

"I'm curious, but I don't know enough to talk about it," he said Friday. "I'm listening to it. I think it's intriguing, but I just don't know enough about it to comment publicly. I hope to learn more.''

Geoff Shackelford reported Thursday that organizers hope to start the league in 2022 or 2023 and are making a "fervent bid to lure top players away from the PGA and European Tours.
