Despite his involvement with the controversial LIV Golf Invitational Series, Phil Mickelson insisted on Thursday that he will be able to play The Masters next April.
Mickelson, who has drawn perhaps the most criticism for his role with the Saudi Arabian-backed league, doesn’t think Augusta National will move to ban him and other LIV Golf players.
“I believe wholeheartedly I’ll be at Augusta,” Mickelson told Sports Illustrated’s Bob Harig on Thursday. “I thought my conversations with [Masters chairman] Fred Ridley [last spring], which I will keep between us, were extremely classy. I have the utmost respect for him and the leaders of the majors.
