Phil Mickelson has had a rollercoaster of a career this past year. Last summer, the golf legend was the talk of the town when he signed with LIV. Soon after, his underwhelming performances in the Saudi-backed league were in the limelight.

Ever since, he’s been on a hot streak, garnering a lot of attention! Thanks to his latest viral video, that’s only increased, with fans boldly declaring that “he’s back”!
