Phil Mickelson released an apology on Feb. 22, regarding released statements from an interview with author Alan Shipnuck, who is writing Mickelson’s autobiography to be published in May. The apology pertains to Mickelson’s statements supporting the proposed Saudi Arabian “Super Golf League.”

In the past week while at Riviera Country Club for the PGA Tour event, The Genesis Invitational, most Top 10 tour players came out to publicly support the PGA, stating that they were not taking part in the Super Golf League.
