Phil Mickelson is a left-handed American golfer who is widely regarded as one of the game’s all-time greats behind Tiger Woods.

Mickelson is just one of 17 players in history to win all four major championships and became the oldest major winner after securing a famous victory at the 2021 PGA Championship.

The lefty made the switch to LIV Golf in 2022 despite being one of the highest-paid golfers of all time.

Mickelson’s breakaway league contract is reported to be in the region of $200 million, although the San Diego-born star nearly finished in the drop zone after the 2024 LIV individual championship.

Here, The Golfing Gazette tells you all you need to know about the six-time major winner, including age, net worth, parents and LIV Golf record.
