Bring Phil Mickelson Back To Detroit In 2022!
UPDATE! Per Phil's request, we have changed this from a GoFundMe, to rather strictly the petition form. You can find it right here:

*****
Unfortunately Phil Mickelson announced he won't be coming back to Detroit for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic, due to some nasty and negative coverage about him in The Detroit News from something 23 years ago. It was an irrelevant story and clearly just clickbait.
And now our GREAT Detroit sports fans are suffering for it.
But...
Phil personally told me that he will reconsider and come back to Detroit for the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic if we gather 50,000 Michigan signatures.
Well...
He said "Maybe" with a crying face laughing emoji. But close enough!
However...
We've decided to do him one better!
For every person who donates $3.13 or more (313 is Detroit area code), we will donate HALF of everything to the Phil Mickelson Foundation ... and... the other HALF to the Rocket Mortgage Classic's Changing The Course initiative.
Let's all show support for Phil Mickelson and let him know how much Michigan appreciates him!
I think people have had enough negativity the past year and half, and we've dealt with a lot as a country... Let's come together and focus on the positives!
If you're a Michigan golfer who likes Phil Mickelson and hopes he reconsiders... Please sign below!
