Fred Couples, once a golf star, often uses the space in the media to reflect on current events on the golf scene. Given that LIV is a topic that has been current for years, Couples decided to share his opinion regarding this project, apparently not so satisfied with the ideas and visions of this league. Couples is particularly critical of Phil Mickelson, a former colleague, as his statement two years ago speaks about.
Couples then pointed out that Phil looked stupid giving interviews. A year later, the 65-year-old criticized Mickelson again, calling him various epithets, such as ‘crazy’.
Fred then said: “If you’re willing to give Phil Mickelson $200 million at age 53 to shoot 74 and 75, God bless you.”
Phil Mickelson did not stay silent on these call outs, hitting back at Fred. Phil Mickelson labeled such statements as a ‘low class j***move’.
Fred Couples’ statement about Brooks Koepka’s return
Couples is one of the most interesting personalities in recent days, considering his statements regarding the return of Brooks Koepka to the PGA Tour. Fred stressed that Brooks wants to return to the PGA Tour, confirming that the two are often in contact.
Phil also reacted to such statements, believing that with this Couples damaged Brooks’ relationship, which is important to him, by taking away control over the timeline and narrative. LIV Golfer admitted that this was a ‘low class j*** move by Fred’.
It seems that the rivalry between these two great golfers will continue in the future. Fred is a man who does not hesitate to openly raise his voice and oppose the happenings on the golf scene. Although his statements are often controversial and provocative, the 65-year-old is firm in his intention to speak openly about problems, obviously not having an ideal image of LIV Golf as a future of this sport.
Phil, on the other hand, is used to being the target of criticism, but he clearly can’t stand it.
