YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUSA TODAY's Christine Brennan questioned Phil Mickelson over criticism he has received from 9/11 families for playing in the Saudi LIV.
RELATEDThe Rise of LIV Golf Is it taking over Professional Golf?
Defiant and defensive, Phil Mickelson arrived at the U.S. Open on Monday fresh off his first appearance in Saudi LIV Golf, a new, exhibition-style tour sponsored by the people behind the 2018 murder and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and the massive Saudi involvement in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Not surprisingly, Mickelson was met with several questions about his decision to go into business with and help burnish the reputation of Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is bankrolling the controversial tour and sanctioned the killing of Khashoggi, according to human rights organizations and intelligence services.
Mickelson’s nonanswer to one of those questions drew the ire Monday afternoon of a prominent September 11 survivors’ organization.
