Mickelson tells golf world to prepare for more duels with LIV rebels

• Dubai Classic clash of McIlroy and Reed has set the tone
• Mickelson expects LIV to win arbitration case

Phil Mickelson has told the golf world to prepare for more jousts involving LIV rebels on the DP World Tour on the basis they will win their arbitration case against that organisation.

There was added spice to Monday's Dubai Desert Classic duel between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed because of their opposing sides in the civil war. Reed, a LIV player, is among those permitted to play on the DP World Tour due to a stay on suspensions imposed until a case comes before the UK's Sport Resolutions on 6 February.
