While the idea of a soccer Super League led to plenty of outlash and criticism, count Phil Mickelson among those who are at least intrigued by the notion in golf.

Bob Harig of ESPN reported Mickelson confirmed that representatives of the Premier Golf League—a potential new international tour with large prizes and popular players—reached out to him. Harig also shared Lefty's comments in which he suggested fans would like to see the top golfers more often in what would be a Super League:

Harig reported PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan met with players Tuesday and said anyone who joins the Premier Golf League if it does become a reality in 2022 will be suspended and perhaps expelled from the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas both said they aren't interested, although the 51-year-old Mickelson is no longer in his prime compared to other headline golfers and could see this as an opportunity to make significant money at this stage of his career.
