‘He began with an unbelievable achievement, winning on tour at the age of 20 while still an amateur.

‘It’s incredible to think those two things from Phil are 30 years apart. But, if he joins another tour, he’s going to look at his trophy cabinet one day and think, “What’s it all about?”’

Mickelson has not been seen since giving two deeply damaging interviews in January but it is thought he is all but certain to join the Saudi rebels and make his comeback at the opening LIV golf series event in St Albans next month.
