Brandel Chamblee Thinks Phil Mickelson Wouldn't Leave The PGA Tour If Give A Do-Over | 04/07/23 

Brandel, one of the greatest pseudo intellectuals of a generation. $200 million says something else!

Sadly he will not be remembered for his great play.

@@JohnDoe-xu2vx so true, Brandel’s only hope is getting in for his wacko commentary. God, I hope they don’t vote him in!

Yes, Chamblee's integrity will always be in question and being honest and objective won't be associated with his commentaries

No, all the comments Chamblee made right here were spot-on! Cannot speak for other past comments, but everything Brandel said here was spot-on. *Just Look* at Phil he appears as an *absolute shell of his former self.* He looked sickly at the Masters and you cannot deny that he didn't look like Phil Mickelson. He looked frail. Chamblee also correctly said "look at Phil Mickelson's clothing- it's not filled with KPMG Callaway and a dozen other sponsors anymore... it's blank!" Only an absolutely silly, comical & meaningless liv team logo- why? Because he's pushed every sponsor away when he became Radioactive...Brandel could not be more correct about that. If you're going to try to argue that phil looked sickly and frail at the Masters, I saw him all four days in person (no matter how he performed) or that he has pushed away all his sponsors and was awkward at the Champions dinner- then you're just flat-out ignoring facts. It's the truth. If it hurts your feelings. I'm sorry. You want to know some more truth? Phil is one hell of a Pro-Golfer. The Master of the short game (minus putting). Best chipper there ever was! All Facts. But he's not Phil anymore. Sure he had a good finish at the Masters. So? One finish in several years? Here's the kicker though. Playing is NOT the only part of being Phil! Phil interacts with the fans, Phil gives thumbs-up, Phil always Smiles at the camera, Phil always has something witty to say, Phil always signed autographs, Phil signs gloves to hand-out & jokes w the gallery, certainly never looked sickly... the crowd following Phil this year was minuscule on the first 3 days! He didn't give a single thumbs-up, smile, or signing autographs this year in any of the days I saw Phil leaving the driving range at Augusta passing kids in the autograph section... I was a huge Phil supporter in the past. But you must be open-minded and call a spade a spade-He ain't Himself anymore! Are you arguing that the way everything played out took an enormous toll on him and completely changed Phil?! That's a fact just like 2+2=4 Turns out Phil was quite correct about many things he originally said about the PGA Tour-yep! I'll admit that because Im pen minded & admit when things are clearly true. But we're just talkin about *the few* things Brandel said in this specific interview and every one of them was 100% true, plus 1 opinion. The final thing Chamblee said was.. given a do-over if Phil knew how much *Hell he would go through & the way it would change his life forever,* Brandel believes Phil would never have gone this route! How can you argue that? that's just his opinion and honestly believe he's right. I think it was *completely evident* this year how much Phil missed his former glory at *Phil's favourite place & tournament in the world the Masters at Augusta National* when he had a bittersweet most-excellent finish and reminded himself of his former glory.. Phil would've gone on to do all the things Brandel name and ridden off into the sunset had this predicament not changed his life forever- Gentlemen, it's just the truth.

I couldn't have said it any better. The Golf Channel should be named the PGA Channel.

So, where was all the money going before?? There were a lot of efforts by the PGA Tour to grow the game internationally etc.. I don't think it's that simple, but you are absolutely right that the PGA Tour did indeed step up. I think these players are basically a Union, and they were about to walk out to a better deal, but that union was only made of the very best players CURRENTLY. That's the weakness of LIV; they depend on folks making their name on the PGA Tour, and then try to get them. Nobody cares about LIV winnings, other than the players who are collecting the huge checks. To each his own.

"giving the players more of their money" .. Didn't the tour go to the sponsors for more money?

He went to LIV for the money. The rest of the PGA bashing, growing the game, bla,bla,bla, is just him rationalizing his decision. Does he miss the fans, the competition, the lost legacy? I would guess so but that was his trade off for the money.

You're wrong and people need to understand the PGA TOUR providing their players more money was a REACTION to LIV. Phil helped create LIV, was actively recruiting PGA TOUR players to join LIV, what was the PGA TOUR going to do, not do anything? They didn't have extra money saved in the bank, it came from sponsors, because those sponsors wanted to also protect their investment into the PGA TOUR. Every single tournament that has an elevated purse and playing for more money, that came directly from that sponsor. So to say Phil was right and everyone should thank him, is wrong, all of that was a REACTION to LIV trying to buy up the sport. You can believe what you want, but to Phil tarnished his legacy out of greed? Is that what everyone should value in life? Money over everything else? The PGA TOUR provided Phil with more money and fame than anyone could imagine, but it wasn't created by Phil, it was created over a long period of time by all the people that came before him, and Phil tried to take all of that down, and for what? Money and greed. If a class act is stabbing people in the back and taking money from a murderous government that he himself said was atrocious, then sure, that's a class act. There are some people who turn a blind eye to that and still love Phil, but it's not the Golf Channel to blame, Phil can look at himself in the mirror for what he did to his own legacy and there are far more people who dislike Phil than love him there days for what he did.

Brandel chastises Phil for his opinions and creating controversy? Look in the mirror Chamblee . You have made more behind the microphone than you ever did swinging a golf club. You couldn’t carry Phil’s bag and he could probably spot you a stroke a hole and still beat you like a bass drum.

Yeah, and what did Chamblee ever do. Nuttin"!

Amen!

Their worst nightmare came true (minus Phil actually winning it) so they had to make sure to diminish it at all costs. Make no mistake everyone knows this and it makes them look awful.

Childish. The commentator were so bad. Sounded like when they do a football. Get feherty and Faldo back.

Yeah, gee whiz, gosh golly, the money hungry dolts that left the PGA for liv might regret being a LITTLE greedy. Blow it out your collective asses. Goodbye, so long, adios. Know what you'll be remembered for? Yup that's right. I give liv two-three more years, tops!

I believe that’s correct ! It’s wrong but correct !

Exactly, Chamblee is always making comments on players why they don't win or stuff about their lives, when his accomplishments don't even come close to what they have done. Like his comments of Tiger Woods.

Reminds me of hollyweird celebs that do not know anything about anything and think everyone wants to hear their expert opinion.

He turned back the clock today. If this tournament had another round, man, I think Rhambo would have had to play awesome golf to fight off Phil. He's still got it, and I'd put him into the top 20 or so favorites for next year. His age is not yet a factor at Augusta IMO.

@@wreckim Oldest man to finish second ever . I'd say age is a factor at Augusta

Phil the traitor.

@@MFH916Like you wouldn't take the money

One good round in the last 3 years and you're back on that bandwagon. He's so done. Walmart wouldn't put their logo on him

Lol Phil was fighting for himself bc he desperately needed the money. You have zero clue.

You have got it all backwards🙄The PGA couldn’t have made any changes before LIV came to fruition. They didn't have extra money stored in some dark place, it came from sponsors, because those sponsors wanted to protect their investment into the PGA once LIV came to fruition. Every single tournament that has an elevated purse and playing for more money, that came directly from the sponsors who were forced to invest more because of the threat of losing more players to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

Think about it for one minute!!! If the PGA was bad for business for the golf players how come so many of the 15 Highest Paid Athletes of All Time are golfers?!? Here’s the list - 1.Michael Jordan 2.Tiger Woods 3. Arnold Palmer 4. Jack Nicklaus 5. Cristiano Ronaldo 6. LeBron James 7. Lionel Messi 8. Floyd Mayweather 9. Roger Federer 10. Phil Mickelson 11.

lolol what a clown you are. Arnie helped start the PGA tour, he would be laughing at these liv clowns.

I think Arnie would have said, "It's up to each individual, but remember where you got your start and also remember when you're ready to come back to complete your golfing legacy, you'll be welcomed. And , while you're away, mind your P's and Q's, we can hear you!"

Phil has done more to advance the game than any player?!? Has he really?!? If so then for his own selfish reasons let’s not forget!!! His self serving, shortsighted, lack of good values, greedy approach neglecting who he work for, all because of money, even though he is very well off because of the PGA. Then choosing to turn his back on the very same entity that made him rich and famous and join an opposing organisation, file a lawsuit against the former and against his former friends and colleagues in a effort to have his cake and eat it to, not to mention the astronomical amounts of guaranteed millions of dollars paid and delivered by the clown prince of Saudi Arabia in a sport washing effort - and people wonder why Phil is ostracised and criticised and wonder why LIV golf is dividing and ruining golf?!?

Then joined a lawsuit against his former friends and colleagues, you think that's class? You sound like Phil's kind of guy. It was classy signing up for LIV after saying the Saudis have a horrible record on human rights and executing Kashoggi/ gays was horrendous.

I never understood why until one of my buddies told me a few months ago that LIV would be playing in a Trump golf course, and that LIV was pro-American and Pro-Maga. I have no idea if this is actually what has happened, as I've never heard of LIV being pro MAGA etc.. But the whole thing is crazy IMO. Peace.

The Saudis have investments in other sports teams and events. Don’t they also own a Premier League team as well? Wasn’t Osama the Saudi responsible for engineering the 9/11 attack rather than the Saudi monarchy? I don’t know the politics of the LIV organization, but it seems that there are people who have painted “pro MAGA” as a bad thing.

Is there a PGA sponsor that isn't selling their products in SA? Kinda doubt it. Especially all the luxury brands.

@-Thunder I’m afraid you are comparing apples with oranges. It’s one thing doing business or cooperate with an enemy but quite another animal when you decide to represent someone like the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, all for money. The former has been done since the beginning of time, in war times as well in peace times. That’s how society and capitalism work. It’s a necessary evil if you want to survive as a people or grow as a corporation. Being an employee of the enemy is a quite a different animal all together. The latter deciding for you what to do with practically no leeway and you are obligated to represent the employer’ values who gets to define their product, whereas doing business with the enemy you get to decide terms, liability, you get to make a series of demands and so forth. If you want to know one of the reasons for the aversion towards LIV players it’s their self serving, shortsighted, lack of good values, greedy approach neglecting who they work for all because of money even though they all, for the most part, are very well off because of the pga. Not to toot my own horn but I have driven an electric car for the past 7 years but I’m no saint but choosing to represent someone like the clown prince of Saudi Arabia is no small order!!!

The PGA TOUR provided Phil with more money and fame than anyone could imagine, but it wasn't created by Phil, it was created over a long period of time by all the people that came before him, and Phil tried to take all of that down, and for what? Money and greed. If a class act is stabbing people in the back and taking money from a murderous government that he himself said was atrocious, then sure, that's a class act. There are some people who turn a blind eye to that and still love Phil, but it's not the Golf Channel to blame, Phil can look at himself in the mirror for what he did to his own legacy and there are far more people who dislike Phil than love him there days for what he did.

Think about it for one minute!!! If the PGA was bad for business for the golf players how come so many of the 15 Highest Paid Athletes of All Time are golfers?!? Here’s the list - 1.Michael Jordan 2.Tiger Woods 3. Arnold Palmer 4. Jack Nicklaus 5. Cristiano Ronaldo 6. LeBron James 7. Lionel Messi 8. Floyd Mayweather 9. Roger Federer 10. Phil Mickelson 11. Michael Schumacher 12. David Beckham 13. Kobe Bryant 14. Shaquille O'Neal 15. Greg Norman

You have got it all backwards🙄The PGA couldn’t have made any changes before LIV came to fruition. They didn't have extra money stored in some dark place, it came from sponsors, because those sponsors wanted to protect their investment into the PGA once LIV came to fruition. Every single tournament that has an elevated purse and playing for more money, that came directly from the sponsors who were forced to invest more because of the threat of losing more players to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

yeah, we all will listen to the wisdom of a guy that won 1, say it again, won 1 pga tournament and 0 international tournaments.

You're wrong and people need to understand that the PGA TOUR providing their players more money was a REACTION to LIV. Phil helped create LIV, was actively recruiting PGA TOUR players to join LIV, what was the PGA TOUR going to do, not do anything? They didn't have extra money saved in the bank, it came from sponsors, because those sponsors wanted to also protect their investment into the PGA TOUR.

Not greed, is a business decision as each of the independent contractors (the players) are their own business entity. Greed is what we see in the PGA. Phil had good reasons to leave and so did the others. PGA wanting to keep all the money, keep the players from making money off of their own likenesses or any other deals they could make on their own as independent contractors. In other words; the PGA wanted to own the players.

PGA nickname is monopolize.

Fuzzy Zoeller is the one who supposedly said Phil was quiet. Other than that I don’t know.

So Bubba Watson said Phil was chatting it up and just another one of the guys? I’m not buying it…. Maybe Phil chatted with Bubba, since nobody else would talk to him?

💯agree. Well said!!!

LIV won't be around in a few years

Yeah Phil is a real classy guy - turns his back on the folks who made him rich and famous($400 million net worth) because he wanted more $. Then joined a lawauit against his former friends and colleagues, you think that's class? You sound like Phil's kind of guy. It was classy signing up for LIV after saying the Saudis have a horrible record on human rights and executing Kashoggi/ gays was horrendous. I also thought the way he ran down his ball on the green at the US Open, and putted it again before it came to rest, was the true mark of a great champion🤡

Annnnd, that is his business, not everyone else. Look at the pga golden goose choir boy, he has done every thing imaginable and all the pga fanboys still love him.

except they don't

It all started when they dumped McCord. Bunch of uptight suits.

@@larrysanders3450 you don't see Saudis going after NFL, NBA, MLS bc these organizations protect and compensate their players but PGA Tour didn't and ultimately LIV happened. PGA tour didn't take care of their players and as a result this happened

Tiger hurt his little foot.

CRY MORE, COPE HARDER 🤣🤣🤡🤡

Well, the LPGAT is bankroller by ARAMCO, the Saudi based Arabian - American oil company but I don't hear any of the LIV critics bellyaching about "911," "blood money," or any other ethnically racist comments about Saudi financing for the LPGAT.

@@Diogenes-ty9yyExactly. When you see someone say anything about ‘blood money’ you can safely assume that person is a naive and uninformed idiot who is susceptible to being spoonfed biased narratives instead of thinking for themselves and deep diving to find out the real facts 😂

@@Diogenes-ty9yy that is because they have nobody in the LPGA that the haters hate. Also, the haters are too ignorant to see past their Greg and Phil hatred to even know how the LPGA is funded. I see the LIV haters as I do the pga; a bunch of unsupervised children.

Yes. But honestly, I never thought I'd see the day when 9/11 families would be outside a golf tournament protesting as Phil passes by them. I don't know how this game got to this point. It's rather odd.

Yeah Phil should be ambassador for golf - turns his back on the folks who made him rich and famous($400 million net worth) because he wanted more $. Then joined a lawsuit against his former friends and colleagues, you think that's class? You sound like Phil's kind of guy.

Phil has done more to advance the game than any player?!? Has he really?!? If so then for his own selfish reasons let’s not forget!!! His self serving, shortsighted, lack of good values, greedy approach neglecting who he work for, all because of money, even though he is very well off because of the PGA. Then choosing to turn his back on the very same entity that made him rich and famous and join an opposing organisation, file a lawsuit against the former and against his former friends and colleagues in a effort to have his cake and eat it to, not to mention the astronomical amounts of guaranteed millions of dollars paid and delivered by the clown prince of Saudi Arabia in a sport washing effort - and people wonder why Phil is ostracised and criticised and wonder why LIV golf is dividing and ruining golf?!?
