LIV Golf player Phil Mickelson may back out of an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour. 

Mickelson was one of the original LIV golfers who sued the PGA Tour in August, claiming that its indefinite suspensions were aimed at hurting careers. 

LIV Golf has since joined the lawsuit, which is why Mickelson is reconsidering. 

"I haven’t done anything yet, but now that LIV is involved, it’s not necessary for me to be a part of it," Mickelson told reporters at LIV’s latest tournament at Rich Harvest Farms near Chicago, via the New York Post.

"I currently still am. I don’t know what I’m really going to do. The only reason for me to stay in it is damages, which I don’t really want or need anything."

LIV Golf alleges the PGA Tour's restraints forced it to raise its costs to sign players and kept it from recruiting others who fear the threat of being punished. It also claims the tour forced LIV Golf to delay its launch for 2022 and play a smaller schedule its first year.

Mickelson’s exit from the PGA Tour to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf was one of the moves that sparked a feud between the organizations. With other golfers following, the PGA Tour has indefinitely suspended anyone who left for LIV Golf.
