Strong, silent type: Lefty will be hands off with Padres

Phil Mickelson

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Once the deal is finalized to purchase the San Diego Padres, Phil Mickelson doesn’t see himself meddling with the operations of the team.

“I’m just strictly kind of a silent partner,” Mickelson said Tuesday at the British Open. “Any of the operations is not my deal.”

Mickelson is part of a team headed by former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley. The group is awaiting final approval on the deal that has been reported for be $800 million.

“I really like the people I’m involved with,” Mickelson said. “I think they’re just a competitive as I am, and I’m excited about bringing something to the community.”
