He's known for his amazing shots and for being a super-friendly guy on the golf course. He’s been playing golf for a very long time, winning lots of cool trophies!

Phil Mickelson has a super special nickname: 'Lefty'! This is because he swings his golf club with his left hand, even though he was born right-handed.

Phil has won some of the most important golf tournaments in the world, called 'major championships'. He's won the Masters three times, the PGA Championship twice, and the Open Championship once. That’s like winning the Super Bowl of golf six times! He even won one of these big trophies when he was 50 years old, which is super old for a golfer!
