The honest answer led many golf enthusiasts toward acknowledging the golfer’s physical fitness.

Phil Mickelson unlocks the key to the maintenance of his healthy weight

Lefty’s dramatic transformation earlier this year left nearly everyone in the golf world stunned. Mickelson, despite his amazing golfing skills, wasn’t one of the most sturdy players in the game. However, in came the year 2023, and out went Mickelson’s weight concerns. And just like everything else in this world, this journey wasn’t an easy one for the golfer.

The 2021 PGA Championship winner had to work determinedly toward maintaining his diet and toil at workout regimes. Nonetheless, the results of his hard work were impressive! Now, as the 53-year-old was asked to shed some light on his diet and how he has been maintaining his cravings, the professional responded confidently.

He explained that, though he had reached the 17th hole during his practice round, he still felt energetic and agile. The LIV star claimed that was all due to the energy gummies by For Wellness and some light snacks that he had had that morning. This allowed the golfer to directly consume food again at prime lunch time, and then he was set for the day. “It helped me maintain my weight“, the LIV golfer added.

Phil Mickelson also took to Twitter to upload the video of this chat on the course. The tweet was delivered in a typical Lefty style as he quoted the movie ‘Tommy Boy (1995)’. He wrote that in the UK, desserts like pastries, chocolates, and ice cream are way too delectable, especially for someone who “a Dr once referred to as having “a bit of a weight problem.”
