Fans can eat all they want with their ticket price at the PGA Championship, but the prices, especially for beer, got the golfers talking.
Tiger Woods gave his most detailed set of comments to date on the PGA Tour v. LIV Golf and Phil Mickelson.
I have little to add other than the question and context.
On Mickelson not being at Southern Hills to defend his PGA Championship victory:
It's always disappointing when the defending champion not here. Phil has said some things that I think a lot of us who are committed to the Tour and committed to the legacy of the TOUR have pushed back against, and he's taken some personal time, and we all understand that. But I think that some of his views on how the Tour could be run, should be run, been a lot of disagreement there. But as we all know, as a professional, we miss him being out here. I mean, he's a big draw for the game of golf. He's just taking his time and we all wish him the best when he comes back. Obviously we're going to have difference of opinions, how he sees the Tour, and we'll go from there.
On Phil’s position:
The four-time major winner had a mishap Tuesday ahead of his first news conference at the PGA Championship.
Here is the full set of tee times for the first and second rounds of the PGA Championship

Phil Mickelson's absence from the 2022 PGA Championship called 'sad' and 'unfortunate' by fellow golfer, world No. 7-ranked Rory McIlroy.
Rickie Fowler remains on a quest to find his old game. As Fowler tries to find his form, he faces a question others are asking: stay on the PGA Tour or defect to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf?
Does walking the course really burn more calories than riding? That’s a silly question. I think that we all know that it does. The better question is how many more calories does walking burn? For some of us, this is an important question to explore. As we roll into the new year, many of us are trying to be more active. Most MyGolfSpy readers will agree that the ideal fitness plan for summer of 2022 involves playing more golf.
Could getting fit this season be as simple as bypassing the cart barn?
Like I said, most of us know that walking eighteen holes requires more energy than riding in a cart. In fact, scientists have published papers peer reviewed science journals exploring the topic.
The graphic above comes from an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (Murray, et al, October 2017). In the figure you can see how the various forms of golf are ranked by Metabolic Equivalency of Task (MET) score. As expected, riding in a cart is an easier task than walking with your bag on your back or pulling them in a cart. Surprisingly, the study reported that using a pull cart required more effort than carrying the clubs on the back.
I would not have predicted that. How could pulling the bag take more energy than carrying said bag? After digging a bit into the reference papers, I discovered that previous research reported that heart rate was higher when pulling the clubs than it was carrying them. I did not expect this, and it got me thinking.
While the World No. 146 ranking would suggest he’s not exactly dream LIV Golf material, Rickie Fowler likability and assumed devotion to all things PGA Tour may provide an intriguing turn in the effort of Saudi Arabia to make us forget about gas prices, human rights violations and sword-wielding men lopping heads off in public after sham trials.
As Bob Harig at SI.com says in the understatment of the week, Fowler would be a “great get” for Greg Norman’s upstart Tour despite the fall off in Fowler’s game. He’s the first legit fan favorite in some time to suggest he’d like to cash him some Crown Prince cash.
His full answer Monday at Tulsa where he’s playing the PGA Championship on an exemption thanks to 2021’s T8 finish.
Q. Have you been approached at all by the LIV Tour and if so, what's your stance on that?
RICKIE FOWLER: Yeah, I have. To be straightforward with you guys, I haven't necessarily made a decision one
It's still asking a lot for Tiger Woods to be in the mix to win a major. So he's down our list as we rank the players with a shot, the players with no shot and those just happy to be on site.

Actually Jack, it was just business.
In his debut piece for The Fire Pit Collective, Michael Bamberger reviews the PGA of America decision to abandon Trump Bedminster for Southern Hills following the January 6th insurrection. The piece also weaves in Phil Mickelson’s absence this week and Jack Nicklaus’ claim he was offered $100 million by Saudi Arabia to handle the role currently occupied by Greg Norman attempting to overthrow the PGA Tour.
Besides getting PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh’s side of how the change occurred—and the lucrative and safe landing spot provided by Tulsa and Southern Hills—Bamberger interviewed Nicklaus about the move.
“I like Seth Waugh,” Nicklaus said. “Seth didn’t need this job. He took the job because he thought he could give the PGA of America some good guidance. And I think he’s doing that. But this move is cancel culture. Donald Trump may be a lot of things, but he loves golf and he loves this country. He’s a student of the game and a formidable figure in the game. What he does in the future in golf will depend on what the cancel culture will allow him to do.”
Just so you have it, here’s the first sentence from the Wikipedia entry for cancel culture: “Cancel culture or call-out culture is a contemporary phrase used to refer to a form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles — whether it be online, on social media or in person.”
A year ago, Phil Mickelson was on top of the world, golf's oldest major champion at age 50. This week, he won't be at the PGA Championship. How did it all fall apart so fast?
