Happy Birthday this June 16, 2024. What is your favorite memory about Phil Mickelson?

[La lamy]

Getting a fist pump from Phil when watching him live. I know it sounds cheesy, but he was so personable, it made it fun to feel ‘included’ in a way.

I liked seeing him choke all those times when he played with tiger

I used to work on a tv show called Entourage and he was on an episode. We ended up sitting together during lunch and he signed a hat for my dad. He said he’s never signed balls because he has a few he signed for his sons and they’ll be the only people to have signed golf balls by him.

Really?

Tiger and Phil have played together 10 times, in the 4th round of a tournament.

Phil shot the lower score 5 times. Tiger shot a lower score, 4 times. There was 1 tie.

Phil won 2 of those tournaments, Tiger won 3 of those tournaments.


Where were did all those "chokes" occur?

If you're a Mickelson fan, this is worth the read. If you're not a fan, the article might give you a slightly different view of Philly Mick.

The Author has been a friend of mine for 20 years and was prominently mentioned in Alan Shipnuck's book "Phil". One story relating to a "friendly" $50,000 match and the other, related to what happened between Phil and Tom Watson, in the Ryder Cup Team Room.

Weekend at Phil’s

Knocking his putt off the green as it was still rolling. Classless display.

The article was defiantly worth the read. Always liked Phil and his time he takes with the fans.

When he joined LIV, as he was washed up then, at least he got a big paycheck for what he accomplishes on the Golf Course now, nothing! I hope he has paid off all his gambling debts.

Years ago in Duluth, GA prior to a PGA event at Sugarloaf CC I was new to golf and at a local driving range hacking with a new driver. This guy mounted the next space in front of me and many of the patrons were greeting him. I didn’t know who it was. He saw me hacking and asked if I wanted a tip. Of course I said yes. Guess he was afraid I was going to slice and hit him. That weekend I tuned into the tournament and found out it was none other than Phil. By the way, I no longer hack as much.

Uh, he won The Match against Tiger in 2018 amongst others mentioned in other comments.

Yeah, he was so washed up that he won the PGA Championship at 52 years old the year before joining LIV and tied for 2nd place in the Masters the year after he joined.

I have none. He’s a gambling arrogant chump in my opinion.

Yep. I was a fan until he pulled this boner. Then he tried to justify it using some weird rule interpretation.

While at a serious business dinner in Japan with an important client the client looks over at me, and in a very Japanese-American accent, he says, "You rook just like Phirl Mickerson". We had a good laugh.
