Apart from his 45 wins which include his six Major triumphs, Mickelson is also known to have a comical character on the golf course. The 52-year-old is hardly ever seen without a smile on his face while playing golf. In 2021, Phil teamed up with Rodgers’s arch-rival Tom Brady to take on the Green Bay Packers quarterback and Bryson DeChambeau in the fourth edition of ‘The Match’. Despite being the opposition, Mickelson did teach Rodgers a valuable celebration.
Over the years, football fans have seen Aaron Rodgers celebrate in various ways. Whether it’s his Kay and Peele Double pump or his championship belt celebration, it’s needless to say the 4 time NFL MVP doesn’t disappoint. Nonetheless, while playing golf, Rodgers wouldn’t mind imitating the celebration of a Hall of Famer.
Following a putt, Rodgers could be seen showing a thumbs up, which is widely considered a signature celebration of Mickelson in the golf world.
Lefty recognizes Rodgers’ celebration and said, “Give a thumbs up. You can give a smile, too”. The veteran quarterback replied, “Sure” as he adhered to Phil’s suggestion in celebration. An impressed Mickelson then ended by saying, “Yeah, there you go”, with a grin on his face.
He helped his team to capture the win against Mickelson and Brady. Perhaps, it would be interesting to see Rodgers exhibit the ‘thumbs up’ celebration next season. However, whether the quarterback will be in the starting lineup for the Packers next year still remains a doubt.
