Phil Mickelson just made a surprise announcement that’s got everyone buzzing! The LIV golfer is gearing up for another thrilling matchup, and this time, he’s facing off against the dynamic duo – John Daly and John Daly II! The excitement is palpable, and the trash talk has already begun! “Our next 2v2 is tomorrow,” read the caption, setting the stage for an epic battle. The question on everyone’s mind is, can Mickelson take down the Daly duo?

But before the big match, Grant Hovrat had a question for Phil Mickelson: “How do you get into this guy’s head?” (The guy being Daly). Mickelson decided to ask the expert – John Daly‘s son, John Daly II. The younger Daly’s response was priceless: I’ve been trying to figure that out for a very long time.”  Mickelson couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the witty remark. Now, we can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow! Will Mickelson and Hovrat be able to take down Daly and his partner? The trash talk has already begun!

But why are we saying it’s going to be a wild ride? Well, Grant Horvat and Phil Mickelson’s previous videos kind of back our assumptions. Their latest series, 2v2, has undeniably received tons of love from the fans and the debut episode features Horvat and Mickelson teaming up against Dustin Johnson and his brother/caddie Austin Johnson was no different.

The video was a blast, with the pair’s charisma and banter on full display. They even shared some hilarious stories about their Tuesday matches back in the day and reminded everyone why friendship on course is as important as the competition. Let’s explore their bond a little more.

The unseen side of Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson’s friendship

We’ve witnessed a fair share of friendships on the course, like Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods but nothing compares to the camaraderie and banter between Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson. Their friendship, forged through years of competing against each other, is a true highlight of the golf world.

In a hilarious revelation, Johnson shared his clever strategy for getting inside Mickelson’s head during their Tuesday matches. Johnson’s entertaining anecdote showcased a side of him we rarely see. “I figured out real quick though… We’d be warming up and we’d get to drivers… I’d make sure I’d leave the range first and get over on the first tee, and I’d just hit it as hard as f—king I could.” Mickelson acknowledged that Johnson’s tactics were effective, praising him as “a smart, cunning individual” who “plays it off better than anybody else.”

Their banter and deep respect for each other’s games made for an entertaining watch. Despite competing on different teams, they effortlessly poked fun at each other and shared laughs, offering a refreshing change of pace from professional golf’s usual seriousness.
