Nearly a week after Phil Mickelson said the PGA Tour was "trending downwards," two golfers who remained loyal to the tour are getting their chance to respond.

"I understand why he said it because of the position he is in, but I don't think anyone that takes a logical view of the game of golf can agree with what he said." PHIL MICKELSON SAYS PGA TOUR IS ‘TRENDING DOWNWARDS’: ‘I LOVE THE SIDE I’M ON’ "I guess for them to be talking the way they are, it's bold," said McIlroy. "I think there's a ton of propaganda being used and all sorts of stuff.

I certainly don't see the PGA Tour trending downward at all. All the talent, 95% of the talent is here. You've got people like Tom Kim coming through [who is] the future of our game."
