Mae even spoke about playing golf with her grandfather and reading books about animals. A highlight was them speaking about golf, sneaking in, and playing golf after the course or club closes down. Mickelson revealed he and his father used to sneak in late as well, going home with a couple of flashlights because of how dark it was.
Fans seemed to love the innocent interaction, appreciating Mickelson for speaking to Mae.
More about the hat and the KPMG’s purpose
According to the announcement, the KPMG Blue for Books program will receive proceeds from every hat that is sold. The program is a part of the KPMG Family for Literacy program. Mickelson, along with Stacy Lewis, Mariah Stackhow, and Maverick McNealy are avid supporters of the same. As a hat is sold, books will be donated to children in need. As of now, Blue for Books has donated over 250,000 books since it was founded back in 2012.
