Over the last twenty-odd years, Phil Mickelson has played in as many masters he could attend. In his career, he has won a. Over his career, he has amassed 40+ tournament wins, and a few of the international boy’s will check-in and see whether playing is best but certainly not its worst.’ He is a legend of the game, and here is why.

· “In an apology published across his social media, Mickelson stated: “I used words I sincerely regret that do not reflect my true feelings or intentions. “It was reckless, I offended people, and I am deeply sorry for my choice of words. I’m beyond disappointed and will make every effort to self-reflect and learn from this”

If Jack Nicholas or Arnold Palmer played each other, I would come down to that final putt, and that’s how the old man sees it.
