Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is one of those guys who makes golf genuinely fun to watch — lefty swing, fearless shot-making, and a crowd-pleasing personality that kept fans rooting for him for decades. Six major championships, including that heartwarming 2004 Masters win where he leapt into the air on 18, cement him as one of the all-time greats. And winning the 2021 PGA Championship at 50 years old? That was flat-out stunning, making him the oldest major champion in history. Sure, his decision to join LIV Golf in 2022 burned a lot of bridges and came with real controversy, but the on-course legacy is untouchable. Arizona State product, San Diego native, World Golf Hall of Famer — Lefty gave the sport some of its most memorable moments.
