    Funny how Callaway dropped Phil because "Callaway does not condone Phil Mickelson's comments and we were very disappointed in his choice of words -- they in no way reflect our values or what we stand for as a company," it said. Yet the make all of their clubs in China. Your values are to make a dollar.

      uhhh. Phil blew himself up. I listened to what he said, it was so inappropriate and frankly sounded crazy. I wondered if he had control of his faculties. I have no idea what his personal situation is but I wonder if he is abusing substances, that's how bad his comments sounded to me.

      @@sl5932 yes he did. Phil certainly blew himself up with his comments. Can't argue that. My only point is, this Shipnuck guy says he didn't release this to help sell his book only because it was "information that had to be added to the conversation" and that is where I am doubting his actual motives and sincerity. How would this not help sell his book? And I am not saying it was wrong to do what he did. $$$ everywhere. I would do the same thing. But Shipnuck's release about money not moral principal.

    let’s not all sound so above board so fast, the gov we pay taxes to does deals with the saudi kingdom and we benefit from that. whether you like it or not. he did what our elected officials do all the time, deal with powerful shady characters to create leverage against others.
    as for why phil spoke his mind to this obvious troll, who knows. maybe he got counsel from someone, that it was time for torpedo the deal, and this was his most direct way out of the situation.
