"And I find that my experience with everybody associated with LIV Golf has been nothing but incredibly positive and I have the utmost respect for everybody that I've been involved with.” Despite being one of the first big names to make the move to LIV Golf and not look back, Mickelson hasn't managed to win on the new Tour yet. his HyFlyers missed out on the team title after finishing third in Adelaide, finishing five shots behind the leading two teams.
