Phil Mickelson's golfing career has been one of the very best in the sport's history, although as if often the case with great geniuses, there are issues below the surface.

Mickelson is set to feature prominently in the soon-to-be-published autobiography of American entrepreneur and sports better, Billy Walters.

This is according to information provided by Mickelson's biographer, Alan Shipnuck, who explains that the more troublesome side of Mickelson's personal life will be revealed.

"I have read Billy Walters' autobiography 'GAMBLER'. Can't say anything specific since I had to sign an NDA but he's quite a character and it's a wild read," Shipnuck posted on Twitter.

Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund has agreed to invest more than $1 billion in a new commercial entity controlled by the PGA Tour, and Greg Norman will be ousted as the CEO of LIV Golf if the business deal between the Saudis and the tour is finalized, a tour executive told Congress on Tuesday.

The agreement between the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the primary funder of LIV Golf, and the PGA Tour shocked the golf world when it was announced last month and led to probes by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which summoned tour officials to the Capitol to testify under oath, and the Justice Department, which is looking into potential antitrust violations.
