Phil Mickelson won’t be betting on football this year—much less the Ryder Cup—saying in a lengthy social media post Monday that he previously crossed the line from moderation into addiction and “it wasn’t any fun.”
“The money wasn’t ever the issue since our financial security has never been threatened, but I was so distracted I wasn’t able to be present with the ones I love and caused a lot of harm,” Mickelson wrote in the post.
