A lot of pro golfers were in attendance for Speith’s big ceremony, including Phil. But the event was not limited to golfers alone, as American country artist Jake Owen was also present at the venue. Spieth’s wedding took place shortly after ‘The Match’ between Mickelson and Tiger Woods, so Owen decided to have some fun.
Owen approached Mickelson and talked trash to him. “Hey Phil, you owe me f**king 29.99,” Owen told Mickelson. This was with respect to how The Match: Woods vs Mickelson unfolded. People were unhappy with the entertainment and Owen too, was not impressed.
Phil had never met Owen before and was startled by the artist’s approach. However, Phil being Phil, gave back some trash. He handed Owen a $100 bill and said, “Take a hundred and go F**k yourself.” Mickelson further stated that he had won plenty of those bills from ‘The Match.’
Phil Mickelson won the first installment of ‘The Match’ versus Tiger Woods. Both players were tied after 18 holes, and Mickelson finally won the exhibition in the 4th playoff hole. He took home $9 million for his efforts.
The American professional created history at the Ocean Course in 2021. Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship at the age of 51. As a result, he became the oldest major championship winner. Furthermore, he broke Julius Boros’ record, who had won the 1968 PGA Championship at 48
