As you have probably heard, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are paired together for the Thursday and Friday rounds at The 2018 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
It’s only Tuesday, and the two living legends and long-time rivals have already started talking trash.
When talking on Tuesday about a potential head-to-head, high stakes match against Tiger, Phil said, “I don’t know if he wants a piece of me.”
Shots fired?
Tiger, when asked about Phil’s response, said, “Well, first of all, big picture.” Of course, he’s implying the whole 79 vs. 43 PGA Tour wins thing. Ouch.
He continued…
“No, no, as I said, it’s going to be fun playing with him again,” Tiger said. “We have both done this throughout our careers. We have always looked at each other and said, where is he on the board. That’s what Arnold and Jack used to do all the time. They’d always try and find, okay, what’s — what’s Jack at. And the same thing with Jack, where’s Arnie at. It’s been either way for our entire careers. Now that we have an opportunity to play against each other again on the first day when the gun blows, it’s going to be fun. I enjoy either competing with him on the first or second day or if it’s the last day. It’s always been a blast, and he’s one hell of a competitor, and it’s always going to be a challenge to try and beat him.”
