At the height of the rivalry between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour …
Tiger Woods had Phil Mickelson snubbed from a private dinner during the week of the 150th Open Championship in 2022. …
According to an excerpt from Alan Shipnuck’s upcoming book “LIV and Let Die,” Woods had Mickelson kept out of a private dinner for Open winners held at the R&A clubhouse.
The Open was taking place shortly after LIV Golf had launched its first event in June 2022, and tensions were high between golfers from the Saudi-backed league and those who remained loyal to the PGA Tour.
Woods, according to Shipnuuck, took it upon himself to have the defector kept out of the gathering.
“He talked to a handful of other [past champions] to get their blessing and then went to the R&A and told them, basically, no one wanted Phil there and it would make the night weird and awkward,” one man at the dinner said. “Whose side were they going to take,Tiger’s or Phil’s? That’s an easy choice.”
