Former NFL running back Danny Woodhead mentioned that he would be in favor of the event taking place.

"Easily! And im here for it!," he wrote in response to a tweet suggesting the competition.

Woodhead has made a name for himself on the amateur golf circuit and made a run at qualifying for the U.S. Open in 2022.

"It sounds great, but we would dominate them so soundly, and it would be over so quick that TV would have to fill an hour of dead time. That’s why it’s not happening at this time," Mickelson said.

Since it's formation, LIV has lured some of the most high-profile golfers in the world.

Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Sergio Garcia and Brooks Koepka have all left the PGA Tour for LIV.

But the PGA Tour has added incentives for players to stay, including increasing purses at several tournaments last year.

Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas are some of the big names who have decided to remain on the PGA Tour.
