It is not money and fame that make a person good but how he uses it. Hundreds of golfers play at a golf club; however, you might have done something good if the workers at that club still remember you. Such an incident happened with Phil Mickelson when a men’s locker room attendant remembered him for his goodwill.

‘The Caddie Network’ posted the video of a golf room attendant and his brother on its Twitter page.

When the videographer asked them who, according to them, is a good tipper among all the golfers, the two had the same answer. They said unanimously, “Phil Mickelson… Phil Mickelson!” They further added that Mickelson had paid all the seven locker room attendants $3100 altogether. According to them, Lefty would pay them even if he didn’t make a cut at a tournament.

As locker room attendants, they make sure that the golfer’s spaces are kept clean. They also help the golfers whenever they need it. They work without a break on tournament days. Therefore, the golfers, too, are expected to pay them for their whole week’s hard work.

Phil Mickelson retweeted the video!

As soon as Mickelson found out about this video, he made sure to share this with his followers. 

He captioned the video, “These guys are the best. They work 18 hour days tournament week to make our life easier and are worth every penny. Thank you [smiley face emoji]
