Phil starting talking up a new Saudi backed tour. He said the PGA tour is manipulative and coercive. He came under heavy criticism from a lot of players.
The PGA came out with a statement that any player who leaves to join it will lose their membership and will not have it returned.
Yesterday Phil apologized, said he was stepping away from the game for awhile, and quoted:
"I know I have not been my best and desperately need some time away to prioritize the ones I love most and work on being the man I want to be."
Nice going Phil
