According to a report on the website Front Office Sports, Phil Mickelson is angling to land a gig as a TV golf analyst.
“With his PGA Tour playing career winding down, Mickelson’s representatives have started exploratory talks with interested networks,” wrote Michael McCarthy at FrontOfficeSports.com.
