Rory McIlroy has been outspoken against Phil Mickelson and LIV Golf after the lefty joined the new league last year.

Despite the PGA and the Public Investment Fund, which financially supports LIV, coming to a merger deal and Mickelson's move to LIV now well over a year old, McIlroy is still taking jabs at the six-time major winner.

It was revealed earlier Thursday Mickelson allegedly has wagered over $1 billion on sports over the last 30 years.

A new memoir on Mickelson claims the 53-year-old asked his associate to place a $400,000 wager on the U.S. team to win the Ryder Cup in 2012. The U.S. lost in stunning fashion in what is now known as the "Miracle at Medinah."

Mickelson participated in 12 Ryder Cups between 1995 and 2018. He did not make the team in 2021 despite winning that year's PGA Championship, becoming the oldest major winner ever at 51.

But McIlroy has an idea for Mickelson to stay involved in this year's competition that will be played in Italy next month.

"At least he can bet on the Ryder Cup this year, since he won't be a part of it," McIlroy said.

Billy Walters, author of the upcoming book "Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk," wrote that Mickelson called him about making a bet on the U.S. team for the Ryder Cup. Mickelson was on the squad with Tiger Woods and Bubba Watson and appeared to be confident about the team’s win.
