Phil Mickelson - Will continue to hold PGA Tour, others 'accountable' - ESPN

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Phil Mickelson had a quiet week at the 105th PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club this week, but the six-time major champion doesn't sound like he's ready to stop poking at professional men's golf's establishment on social media.

After Mickelson closed the PGA Championship with an even-par round that left him at 10 over after 72 holes, he was asked why he continues to criticize the PGA Tour, United States Golf Association and other governing bodies on social media.

«I guess it's because I know some things that others don't,» Mickelson said. «I just want to make sure everybody's held accountable.»

Mickelson, 52, confirmed a New York Times report earlier this week that he had recently met with investigators from the U.S. Department of Justice. Last year, the federal government opened an inquiry into the PGA Tour's alleged antitrust behavior. The Times reported that DOJ investigators also met with LIV Golf League players Bryson DeChambeau and Sergio Garcia and the PGA Tour's lawyers last week.

Among other issues, according to the Times, the federal government is exploring the PGA Tour's relationships with the Official World Golf Ranking, the Masters, PGA of America, R&A and USGA.

Mickelson declined to divulge what he discussed with DOJ investigators.

«I know a lot of stuff that will come out later,» Mickelson said.

Mickelson said he believed LIV Golf players such as Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka should be allowed to play in the Ryder Cup, which is scheduled for Sept. 29-Oct. 1 outside Rome, if they're worthy of being selected. Both are eligible to play in the Ryder Cup because they have been granted PGA of America membership through 2024, which is required to be on the U.S. team.
