The infamous debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump has elicited some remarks from LIV Golf star Phil Mickelson, who seemed to identify with the candidates following a combative detour in the rhetorical bout.
While the debate offered viewers and listeners a number of combative moments, the subject of the candidates’ respective golf games appeared to escalate things.
Here is some of what Ryan Gaydos reported on Mickelson’s comments for Fox News:
Mickelson on Friday wrote on X that he didn’t think the two leaders were getting personal with each other until it came to their golf game.
“After watching the debate last night, I feel it never got personal until they started talking golf handicaps and who hits the longest drives. As a golfer, I get it,” Mickelson wrote.
Trump raised the issue when discussing his fitness, saying he had recently “won two club championships — not even senior — two regular club championships.”
“To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way, and I do it,” he continued. “[Biden] doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match — he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.”
