LIV Golf star Andy Ogletree has truly impressed this year with his remarkable talent and focus from day one. The 26-year-old golfer has earned over £2 million competing in LIV Golf, finishing in 36th place ahead of some big names on the tour. He’s been part of the HyFlyers team, captained by the popular Phil Mickelson. In a recent interview on the Fairway to Heaven podcast, Ogletree reflected on his past season and what lies ahead. He’s motivated to continue being part of the team and aims to shine even brighter next year.
“I’m under contract for next season and I can’t wait to be a HyFlyer.”– he said, as quoted by MIRROR.
Ogletree had nothing but praise for Mickelson, who was key to his success this year. The experienced golfer is known for wanting to help everyone, even those who are just starting out in the sport. The 26-year-old revealed that he had the chance to talk with Mickelson and received plenty of useful advice. Phil is always willing to help those around him, especially the members of his team.
“He’s really taken me under his wing this year. We talk a lot. We talk about a lot of different stuff, not just golf. He’s been such a great mentor.“- he continued.
Ogletree explained that Mickelson speaks with a lot of confidence, which makes it easy to trust what he says. He feels that Mickelson carefully considers his words before sharing them, and he really respects him for that.
Phil Mickelson recently discussed his LIV Golf team and his intentions to be part of the future of golf. The experienced golfer acknowledged that if he feels unprepared to compete at a high level, he’s willing to step back and give someone else a chance. Mickelson has shown his love for the team many times, but he wants to take it to an even higher level.
“I see glimpses and my teammates see glimpses of me being where I expect to be able to compete at this level, but I’m also realistic with myself, and if I’m not able to, I’ll step aside and let somebody come on in and take the HyFlyers to new levels.”-Phil Mickelson said.
Ogletree mentioned that he’s looking forward to the off-season and is curious about how things will turn out for the players in different positions. He thinks the promotion event will be more significant this year and has heard rumors that more PGA players might join in. He believes it will be an exciting time for LIV Golf.
With the talks about a deal between the PGA Tour and PIF, it’s hard to say what the future holds for Ogletree and other golfers. A merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf would change a lot in the golf world, potentially altering the careers of many players. However, many don’t want to dwell on that too much and prefer to stay focused on the tour they’re currently part of, aiming to achieve success and make history. Ogletree is a golfer with perspective, and he’s someone who can truly leave his mark on the golf scene.
The PGA of America recently confirmed what many expected: LIV stars will be allowed to qualify for the Ryder Cup and participate in the PGA Championship.
The PGA of America stated that all LIV Golf players can now compete in the PGA Championship, and any American player who qualifies for the Ryder Cup through points or as a captain’s pick is also eligible. They stressed that this aligns with LIV players competing in the PGA Championship over the past two years, mentioning that Brooks Koepka was part of the US Ryder Cup team last year.
Andrew Ogletree is a relatively young golfer who made his LIV Golf debut in June 2022. Over the past two years, he has achieved several impressive results, including wins at the International Series in Egypt and Qatar. Last year, he also celebrated victory at the International Series in England. Ogletree has shown great potential and is determined to keep building on that for the future. He wants to demonstrate to the world that he can become an important part of LIV Golf and compete for top positions.
Andy has never overlooked the team aspect of the game, always striving to help his team succeed. His commitment and desire to win are evident in everything he says. However, to remain a part of this tour and continue achieving success, it’s crucial for him to keep working hard, fighting, and training just like he has been.
