Phil Mickelson faces career uncertainty amid LIV Golf restructuring

Phil Mickelson’s professional golf future remains unclear as LIV Golf faces significant organizational changes following the September 1 layoffs of most league employees. The league is currently navigating potential financial restructuring and talks with BC Partners Credit to secure new funding. While LIV Golf officials aim to transition into a player-owned league model, the status of its 2027 schedule remains unresolved. Mickelson spent much of the 2025 season sidelined while addressing a family health matter, missing several major tournaments in the process. Former PGA Tour professional Mark Allen expressed skepticism regarding Mickelson’s ability to return to high-level competition even if the league manages to continue operations. With the PGA Tour’s 2027 schedule already finalized, observers suggest that a return to that circuit is not an immediate option for the veteran golfer.
