Amidst the drama surrounding Phil Mickelson’s life, one recent story about Mickelson’s personal endeavors revealed the bright and better side of him. After Lefty made the decision to move to LIV Golf, he has been the target of intense criticism from the golf world.

With more than one past life choice of Mickelson making the headlines, one PGA Tour pro has only good things to say about the LIV Golf defector. The words of the golfer revealed the gentler side of the veteran golfer.

Fond words for Mickelson from a PGA tour winner

Last week, Phil Mickelson took a Q-School golfer under his wing. Mark Baldwin found himself playing with Mickelson for practice and enhancing his golf skills. As he shared the story with the world, another PGA Tour golfer came forward in praise for our beloved Lefty.

While the controversial part of Mickelson’s life is sure to make the news, the other side often gets overshadowed. Micheal S. Kim came forward in defense of Mickelson as he reposted the weekend story. Kim opposed the general persona of Mickelson that has been imprinted on people’s minds.

Kim said, “Many of you guys don’t like Phil anymore”. He shared the tweet on his X and confessed about the great interactions he has had with the 6-time major winner and how he has always found Mickelson approachable and amiable. But it seems not everybody has kind words to offer to Mickelson.

Controversial author, Alan Shipnuck, who wrote an unauthorized biography about Phil Mickelson, had spoken against him once more. This time Shipnuck tweeted about Mickelson’s supposed confirmation of Jon Rahm’s $600 million deal with LIV Golf. However, the major champion had a fitting reply.

Mickelson’s reply to Shipnuck’s accusations

Alan Shipnuck wrote that Phil Mickelson had been going around the town and calling the deal between Jon Rahm and LIV Golf a “done deal”. The tweet instantly caught the attention of many including Mickelson himself.

Mickelson cleared the air by calling Shipnuck a “worst liar” and “pathetic human” and also claimed to know nothing about the deal. The long-standing feud between Mickelson and Shipnuck has taken a new turn. What do you think will this new back-and-forth between the golfer and the author lead to?
