Phil, like Aaron Rodgers, always the smartest guy in the room, tried to put pressure on the PGA Tour by working with the Saudis and stating he was going to bring some PGA stars with him and start a new world league.
This of course backfired when Phil's ruse was revealed last week. He's now going "to take some time away" and reassess his situation.
I really like Phil but this escapade leaves a rank odor...he's 51 now, so we may have seen the last of him, save the majors. It's really too bad.
