Little girl asks LIV Golf's Phil Mickelson: "Why should I support your team?!"

LIV Golf has today launched a new fan-focused campaign called '12 Teams, You Choose', fronting it with a video that sees a little girl asking Phil Mickelson why she should support his Hy Flyers team. 

The Saudi-bannkrolled circuit will tee off its second season and brand new LIV Golf League season next week in Mexico. 

There will be 14 tournaments in total in 2023, as opposed to eight in 2022. 

The total prize money is now at $405 million instead of a measly $255 million. 

Check out the full LIV Golf League schedule. 

LIV Golf have not acquired quite as many PGA Tour players as they would have no doubt liked heading into their second season, but they have poached two standout players from the International Presidents Cup team.

The new "12 Teams. You Choose." campaign asks fans to pick their team ahead of the landmark season for the LIV Golf League.

At the heart of the multi-channel campaign is a TV spot featuring a young golf fan who asks the 12 team captains which team she should support.

"Hey Mr, why should I support your team," a little girl asks Mickelson, to begin the video . 

Leading LIV Golf players respond in turn with their own unique pitch and style in a game of one-upmanship to persuade the girl and fans across the world why they should choose their team.
