Phil Mickelson back at the forefront of PGA Tour, LIV Golf antitrust case

Phil Mickelson has had some very interesting Twitter rants over the last few weeks. It looks like he should have considered logging off, not just for his image but to spend time getting things together for the big antitrust case casting a dark shadow over the golf world.

The PGA Tour filed a motion late Sunday night seeking a delay in the civil antitrust lawsuit filed by LIV Golf, for which Mickelson was previously an original plaintiff. Lawyers for the PGA cited that plaintiffs have lagged in responding to subpoenas "for documents and testimony." But they called out Mickelson by name for not producing the documents needed before the discovery deadline on March 30.

"To date, Mr. Mickelson has produced fewer than 600 documents, some of which are materials the TOUR sent to Mr. Mickelson, copies of the complaint and discovery requests, and junk files with no content," the PGA Tour’s lawyers wrote, via Front Office Sports.  

Mickelson isn't the only LIV Golfer dragging his feet when it comes to turning over subpoenaed information, according to FOS. But the spotlight will of course shine brighter on Lefty, who has become a very loud mouthpiece for LIV Golf in the last year and a half -- even going so far as to look down his nose at his own PGA Tour accomplishments.
