Phil Mickelson this week spoke out strongly against claims made in a recently published article by Dylan Dethier. The golf writer spoke about a "shift" in golf as professional golfers became more active on social media.
Recently, Bryson DeChambeau released the final episode of the Break 50 challenge and also completed the ace-over-his-mansion challenge. Meanwhile, Mickelson collaborated with renowned golf creator Grant Horvat for a new video and also announced a 2v2 golf series, which will start in January.
In his article for Golf.com, Dethier mentioned Mickelson's YouTube collaboration and also his comment on the PGA Tour's NFT investment. He wrote (via Golf.com),
"Mickelson is no stranger to the content space — his Phireside chats made for a fascinating Twitter series — but while we’ve seen golfers featured on plenty of YouTube channels, pros as content creators is a more recent development. While Mickelson’s claims that the Tour is sitting on 'multiple billions of dollars' in NFTs may have been aggressive, it’s clear he’s using the freedom of a LIV offseason to play a different type of team golf and potentially unlock some extra value in the process."
