(3,314 posts)I remember reading something about him back during Obama's presidency when Congress was debating what to do about the Bush tax cuts that were getting ready to expire. Mickelson said something like he was considering retiring rather than to be pushed into a higher tax bracket where he made more money but would have to pay more taxes and would have lower take-home pay than someone in a lower bracket.
The insinuation being that his ENTIRE income would be taxed at the higher rate. He is ignorant of how marginal tax brackets work, as are a lot of Americans.

(22,889 posts)He's taken a $200 million signing bonus from the Saudis to play in their tour. He deserves all the ridicule and criticism he's getting. I'm going to refer to him as "Bonesaw Phil" from now on.
I used to like Phil. He was thrilling to watch and his creativity on the course was always fascinating. And he seemed like a nice guy. But too many of his public comments have been tone-deaf, to say the least. Taking this blood-money was the final straw for me.
By the way, Tiger was reportedly offered $1 billion to play on the LIV Tour. He turned it down.

Dumbass squandered several Majors. He could have had a Tiger like streak
Broke up at least one marriage on the tour. Its a two way street though.

Then a few years ago he pulled out of the Masters claiming he fell down a flight of stairs (which is what supposedly killed Ivana coincidentally). This was after he had "cleaned up his act"..
