Brooks Koepka is making the most of his off-season and holidays. He is spending some quality time with his fiance Jena Sims in the mountains, and the two are looking extremely cozy in their recent pictures! Brooks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brooks-koepka/] has had a successful year and perhaps the perfect ending to it with his win over rival Bryson DeChambeau [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bryson-dechambeau/]. And as the holidays approach, he has chosen to spend it with his family and soon-to-be wife, Jena. WHO IS BROOKS KOEPKA ENGAGED TO? A former Miss Georgia Teen in 2007, Jena is an American actress and model. She has appeared in the Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, 3-Headed Shark Attack, and Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. In addition, she starred as a guest in Entourage and The Vampire Diaries.

(Photo by Brian Spurlock/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) The two have been dating for a long time and announced their engagement in April 2021. Koepka proposed to Sims on 3rd March, while on a beach in Jupiter, Florida. And while we’re highly anticipating their wedding, it’s adorable pictures like these that fans really appreciate. WHERE DID BROOKS AND JENA GO? The duo went to Big Sky, Montana, and the picturesque and stunning view seems like the perfect vacation spot! Skiing in the mountains, Jena posted a couple of pictures for us to enjoy. ‘I love you snow much,‘ she wrote [https://www.instagram.com/jenamsims/] alongside. Koepka has had a very successful season. After being plagued by injuries throughout the previous year, he made a comeback to win the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Moving into the year, he finished second at the PGA Championship, where Phil Mickelson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/phil-mickelson/] became the oldest man to win a major tournament. Subsequently, he played the Ryder Cup, where team U.S. won 19-9 and Koepka went 2-2-0 where he won his Sunday Singles. To close off the year in style, he crushed fellow golfer Bryson in the fifth iteration of The Match. After a relaxing off-season, hopefully, he’ll return next year revamped, to take on the new season!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Brooks Koepka?Â </strong></h2>
The golf world has a long list of greats, and Brooks Koepka is unquestionably a part of that list. With his incredible golf skills and having established himself as a five-time major winner, he has become a force to be reckoned with on the greens. He turned pro in 2012, and ever since he has achieved a lot of accolades and milestones, both personally and professionally. Let us dive deeper into the life of American golf and explore his history with the sport, his future, and his ever-growing conspiracies.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s early lifeÂ </strong></h2>
Brooks Koepka was born on May 3, 1990, in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. He attended Cardinal Newman High School. Koepka was 10 when he first picked up a golf club. Until then, the golf pro often played contact sports. But at the age of 10, he was involved in a terrible car accident that left him with severe facial injuries, resulting in his not being allowed anywhere near contact sports.

The huge silver lining in it, of course, was that, because of that, he found his love for golf. And it has only been growing ever since.

His mother, Denise Jakows, and his father, Bob Koepka, certainly did a great job raising and supporting the golf pro. His family also seems to have an athletic gene.

Koepka has a younger brother, Chase, who is also a pro golfer and now plays on the European Tour. Moreover, his father had athletic roots; he was a college baseball player at West Virginia Wesleyan who found an interest in golf later on and imparted it to his sons. Koepka's sons are also the nephews of the legendary baseball player, Dick Groat.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
Koepka isn't just a golfer, but ever since June 2022, the LIV golfer has come to be known as a loving husband, owing to his marriage to American actress Jena Sims. Sims and the golf pro met at the 2015 Masters. Their relationship started as friends and soon grew into something more. In 2017, the pair announced that they were officially together, and four years later, the golf star popped the question.

After announcing her pregnancy in early May, Sims gave birth to their son, Crew Keopka, on July 27, 2022. Crew was born prematurely (six weeks early) and had to spend some time in the NICU. While expressing his joy to the world, Koepka said,<em> â€œI love my crew,â€</em> as he posted a picture with Jena and his newborn son.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s net worth in 2024Â </strong></h2>
In recent years, his valuation has shot up thanks to his career choices, primarily moving to LIV Golf in 2022. Last year, in 2023, he earned a whopping $5,057,192 from the PGA Tour and approximately $17.7 million from LIV Golf. Koepkaâ€™s net worth is presently estimated to be $50 million, as per many websites.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Brooks Koepka turned pro in 2012, and the 2014â€“15 season was the first ever season that he competed on the PGA Tour. He had a successful run on the Tour, where he clenched eight victories while he was a pro competing on the American Tour.

In 2022, the golfer decided to leave the American Tour and start playing for LIV Golf. He signed a deal for approximately $100 million. Since then, he has been competing there and is having a successful time, having won three times so far and earning over $17 million in just 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s controversies</strong></h2>
Throughout his career, Koepka has been in the media for controversies. Perhaps his biggest was when he jumped ship and left the PGA Tour to sign with LIV Golf. For this, the golf pro faced the same consequences as all the other defectors: he was banned indefinitely from competing in any PGA Tour events.

Moreover, he faced heavy scrutiny from the public for turning his back on the tour. To date, Koepka has dealt with the consequences of his switch, with fans lashing out at him and trolling him at every possible opportunity.

At the 2023 Masters, too, the controversy didn't leave Koepka alone. During the first round of the event, the defector had a brilliant round, carding 32 on his front nine. But at the 15th hole, a storm began brewing. The golfer had used a 5-iron at the 231-yard 'Firethorn'. He ended the hole with a birdie, and as he and his longtime caddie, Rickie Elliott, were walking away, the caddie was caught on camera mouthing <em>"five"</em> to Gary Woodland's caddie.

As part of Rule 10-2a, neither players nor their caddies may advise any competitors playing at the table. And many deemed that Elliot had done exactly that. Brooks, too, stood by Elliot and denied any such occurrence of unfair conduct. Eventually, the Masters officials too deemed there to be <em>"no breach of the rules." </em>Many couldn't help but notice that Koepka is a controversy yet again!

Despite his controversy at the event, Koepka had a wonderful game. Ending the event on Sunday tied for second, he, of course, didn't get what he wanted but still played some spectacular golf. It was a huge comeback despite him not grabbing the Green Jacket, considering that in 2022 he had failed to even make the cut at Augusta. Surprisingly, the event that began with a storm for him ended with a blast!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
As mentioned earlier, Koepka is currently worth nearly $50 million. Along with his approximately $100 million contract with LIV Golf and on-the-course earnings, Koepka also has many lucrative sponsorships in his bag.

[caption id="attachment_677669" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-677669 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-19T220838Z_1050388749_MT1USATODAY16111256_RTRMADP_3_PGA-PGA-CHAMPIONSHIP-PRACTICE-ROUND-1.jpg" alt="Brooks Koepka" width="1920" height="1280" /> May 19, 2021; Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA; Brooks Koepka stands on the fifteenth green during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament at Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort.

From multi-year contracts with Srixon to partnerships with Michelob Ultra, Rolex, NetJets, and Nike, the golf pro makes tonsâ€”and certainly millionsâ€”while not playing golf too!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s career stats</strong></h2>
Koepka is undoubtedly one of the most skilled golfers in the world, and his stats prove just that. He holds several records, and ever since turning pro in 2012, he has amassed several wins.

With 17 professional victories, the golfer has won on five different tours, nine of which came on the PGA Tour, six on the European Tour, four on the Challenge Tour, two in Japan on the Japan Golf Tour, and three times on LIV Golf since his defection in 2022.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s records</strong></h2>
Brooks Koepkaâ€™s major victoriesâ€”the US Open in 2017, the 2018 US Open, the 2018 PGA Championship, the 2019 PGA Championship, and the 2023 PGA Championshipâ€”marked the highlight of his career.

[caption id="attachment_1094008" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1094008 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-06-14T145455Z_824742564_MT1USATODAY18534783_RTRMADP_3_PGA-U-S-OPEN-PRACTICE-ROUND-1.jpg" alt="Brooks Koepka joins LIV Golf" width="1920" height="1280" /> Jun 14, 2022; Brookline, Massachusetts, USA; Brooks Koepka addresses the media during a press conference for the U.S. Open golf tournament at The Country Club. Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Those wins also made him the first-ever golfer to win back-to-back majors at the same time by defending the US Open and the PGA Championship. At the other two majors too, Koepka has come quite close to victory, with a T4 finish at the 2019 Open Championship and a T2 finish at the Masters both in 2019 and 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s major achievements and awards</strong></h2>
The achievements of the American golf star stand testament to his splendid golf skills. In 2014, the golf pro won the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award, an award presented annually by the European Tour for the best newcomer in its ranks.

Three years later, he also won the PGA Tour Player of the Year award and, in that season, led the Tourâ€™s earnings leaderboard with $7,094,047. His streak of great performances continued during those years, and he won PGA Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019.

With his win at Oak Hill in 2023, Brooks Koepka became the first LIV golfer to win a major tournament. Notably, he was also the only LIV golfer to be part of the 2023 Ryder Cup. He was chosen as the captainâ€™s pick to be a part of the American squad.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brooks Koepkaâ€™s charity and foundation</strong></h2>
The $50 million man has gained a lot of wealth in recent times, and with that, he has realized his need to give back to the community as well. With that in mind, in 2019, the golf pro set up the Brooks Koepka Foundation, which is dedicated to helping <em>"children facing challenges with a focus on enhancing health and wellness, resources, and community betterment," </em>as per its website.

Established at the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Brooks Koepka Foundation has done a lot in the past four years. From raising $450,000 for the Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas to serving lunch and fellowship to local South Florida hospitals and even funding over $200,000 for the COVID-19 response relief, Koepka has been constantly helping others through his foundation.

The golfer also introduced â€œ12 Days of Brooksmas,â€ wherein his foundation would give $1,200 to 12 different nonprofits, both locally and nationwide! The officially launched Brooks Koepka Foundation merchandise line offers 100% proceeds for its mission to help children with challenges.

<h2>Bryson DeChambeau 2023: Net Worth, Career Wins And Endorsements</h2>
<div class="mceTemp"></div>
A pro golfer hailing from California, Bryson DeChambeau burst into the scene owing to his unique golfing chops. A child prodigy, DeChambeau grew up to accomplish several stunning feats in the game, including a major victory.

Let's dive in to learn more about the '<em>Mad Scientist' </em>of the golf world!
<h2>Early life and background</h2>
Bryson James Aldrich DeChambeau is an American professional golfer who has made quite a name in the golf community for his stellar achievements and unique golfing skills. DeChambeau was born on 16 September 1993 in Modesto, California, to John Howard Aldrich DeChambeau and Janet Louise Drufell.

The golfer's unique approach to the sport has led to many referring to him as "<em>The Scientist.</em>" This stems from DeChambeau's brilliance in subjects like maths and physics from a very young age. A childhood prodigy, he was able to master mental arithmetic at just six years of age. His love for numbers stuck with him as DeChambeau eventually went on to major in Physics at Dallas' Southern Methodist University.

The Modesto native also showed great golfing acumen at a young age. He even picked up the California State Junior Championship in 2010 before moving to Texas. DeChambeau also became a force to reckon with while in college, picking up one achievement after another.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
While in college, DeChambeau became the first SMU Mustang to win the NCAA individual championship. He won the title after beating golfer CT Pan by one stroke. That year, he also picked up the US Amateur title by winning against Derek Bard.

His accomplishments in 2015 saw DeChambeau join the prestigious roster of golfers that have won both the NCAA and U.S. Amateur titles in the same year. Other golfers who have accomplished this amazing feat include Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Ryan Moore.

The golfer's PGA Tour debut came at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June of 2015 while he was still an amateur. The golfer was able to tie the 45th place on the leaderboard. That year, he also played in the U.S. Open but failed to make the cut.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
In the 2016 Masters, DeChambeau was the low amateur finishing T21st on the leaderboard. He soon went pro after the amazing feat. His first appearance as a pro-golfer was at the RBC Heritage event in South Carolina, wherein he tied for the 4th position. That year, the golfer was able to qualify for the U.S. Open as well, achieving an impressive T15 finish. Despite good outings, the golfer failed to earn enough FedEx Cup points to qualify for a PGA Tour card. However, he qualified to compete in the Web.com Tour Finals, through which he finally earned the coveted card.

His first PGA Tour victory came in 2017 at the John Deere Classic. It also earned him a spot on the field for the Open Championship. A year later, in 2018, the young golfer picked up a sensational win at the Memorial Tournament. He further went on to pick up two more wins on the PGA Tour before the year ended. Besides Woods and Nicklaus, DeChambeau became the only golfer to claim the U.S. Amateur, NCAA Division 1 Championship, and three PGA Tour wins by the age of 25.

The golfer bulked up dramatically in the coming months to improve his swing speed and hit the ball even farther. In July of 2020, he picked up his sixth PGA Tour win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan. In total, the golfer claimed eight trophies on the big Tour before defecting to LIV.

His career-best ranking in the OWGR came in May of 2021, when he achieved the number 4 ranking.
<h2>Achievements in major events</h2>
In August of 2020, Bryson DeChambeau achieved his first-ever top-10 finish in a major championship at the PGA Championship, tying at the 4th place. A few weeks later, the golfer was able to achieve the much-desired major win at the 2020 U.S. Open.  The golfer was able to come from two strokes behind at the start of the final round to achieve a sensational win at the major tournament as he beat Matthew Wolff by six strokes.

Only two other golfers, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, have won the NCAA Individual Championship, the U.S. Amateur, and the U.S. Open during a career. The win further helped him take home $2,250,000 in earnings.
<h2><strong>Appearances for the U.S. national teams</strong></h2>
The golfer has also made several notable appearances for his country. As an amateur, he was a part of the 2014 team that emerged winner of the Eisenhower Trophy. He also set a tournament and course record of 61 in the tournament held in Karuizawa, Japan.

Later in 2021, he was part of the victorious Team U.S. that beat Team Europe at Whistling Straits for the Ryder Cup. The country won 19–9, with Dechambeau going 2–0–1. He also won his Sunday singles match against Sergio García.
<h2>Bryson DeChambeau LIV deal</h2>
In 2022, golfing world was in for a surprise as Bryson DeChambeau became one of the biggest names to defect to the LIV league. Per reports, the golfer was paid over $125 million for the defection. He was also one of the several golfers who later sued the Tour, citing attempts to monopolize golf and discourage competition from other leagues like LIV Golf.
<h2>Net worth and sponsorships</h2>
According to Golfspan, DeChambeau is worth around $14 million. After seeing massive success on the PGA Tour, DeChambeau was one of the biggest names to defect to Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Over the years, he has worked with a lot of big companies, including Bentley, Bridgestone, Rolex, Cobra-Puma, Bose, and NetJets, among others.

Phil Mickelson, with his incredible club skills and his long list of achievements, has won over the hearts of many in his 30+ years as a professional golfer. In the era of Tiger Woods, Phil managed to make a name for himself and be known as one of the greatest golfers of all time. This was, of course, no ordinary feat! Although he spent the majority of his career in Woodsâ€™s shadow, Phil came to be known as the 15-time major winnerâ€™s rival and his biggest one! To date, he has continued to stun the golf world with his skill, despite his age, making him one of the players the golf world eagerly looks forward to watching on the course! Let's explore all that the golf legend has accomplished in his career and the path he is now on.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Phil Mickelson's net worth 2024</b></h2>
Since he first picked up a club over five decades ago, Mickelson has certainly come a long way. Not only has he cemented his name in the golf world, but he has also created a massive empire out of his career! with numerous endorsement deals under his belt. The golf pro is currently worth approximately $400 million, a lot of which he owes to his latest partnership with LIV Golf.

In the summer of 2022, Lefty was one of the many PGA Tour stars who jumped ship and headed over to the Saudi-backed league. His stature and hold over the golf world earned him a whopping <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-despite-signing-a-massive-200m-liv-golf-contract-phil-mickelson-billionaire-dreams-wont-be-fulfilled-anytime-soon-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$200 million contract from the new league</a> where the golf pro now competes. With this switch in leagues, Phil also saw one of the biggest controversies of his lifetime! He faced backlash from fans, the public, and especially the PGA Tour, which banned him and the other stars who left from all Tour events indefinitely.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Phil Mickelson's early life</h2>
Born in 1970, the golf pro was named Philip Alfred Mickelson. In the golf world, of course, he is better known as Lefty! He first began playing the sport when he was just a toddler, at 18 months old, by mirroring his fatherâ€™s swing. This led to him playing like a left-handed player despite being right-handed naturally, earning him his nickname as he got older.

[caption id="attachment_1080915" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1080915 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-06-10T161235Z_280170181_UP1EI6A190XDO_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-LIV.jpg" alt="Phil Mickelson at LIV Golf event in London" width="1920" height="1201" /> Golf â€“ The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational â€“ Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain â€“ June 10, 2022 Team Hy Flyerâ€™s Phil Mickelson of the U.S. during the second round REUTERS/Paul Childs[/caption]

The young Lefty began establishing his name in the world of golf during his days as an amateur golfer. Mickelson went on to win several tournaments, including the National Junior Player of the Year award, for three consecutive years, from 1986 to 1988. Mickelson also bagged a complete scholarship at Arizona State University (ASU) via his tremendous overall performance on the golf course. Phil went on to become the fourth amateur to win a PGA Tour title when he won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelsonâ€™s 2024 sources of income</strong></h2>
The $400 million man has undoubtedly seen massive earnings throughout his career. While his LIV contract is probably his biggest payday ever, itâ€™s not his only one. In his 30+ years of playing on the PGA Tour, including his major championship winnings, he has earned $96,572,310.

In 2023, the golf pro made $2,855,250 after playing in 14 events. His total career earnings over the years are currently upward of a billion dollars, thanks to all these earnings! As of 2023, Mickelson was ranked the 7th highest-earning athlete in the year, but besides the course, Lefty makes a lot of money off it too.

<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-liv-golf-phil-mickelson-severes-ties-with-callaway-partnership-after-twenty-long-years-second-legendary-exit-following-tiger-woods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In 2024, Mickelson parted ways with Callaway and ended a 20-year partnership.</a> The <em>Lefty</em> has multiple endorsement deals, through which he earns millions every year. Some of these companies include Coffee of Wellness, Amgen, Intrepid Financial Partners, Titleist, and Grayhawk. Moreover, he even owns a golf club, the Phil Mickelson Golf Club, which is flourishing.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's family and personal life</strong></h2>
Off the course, Mickelson has a different persona altogether. Heâ€™s a family man! His Twitter bio too shows that he prioritizes his family before all else, as it states, â€œ<em>Husband.</em>Â <em>Lefty. LIV. Golfer.â€</em>Â Itâ€™s safe to say that his wife, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-who-is-phil-mickelsons-wife-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-power-couples-twenty-six-years-old-marriage-amy-mickelson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Mickelson</a>, will always be the golferâ€™s first choice. Phil and Amy met back in 1992 while both were studying at Arizona State University. She was a cheerleader for the NBAâ€™s Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad.

It wasnâ€™t long before they got together, and four years later, on November 16, 1996, the couple tied the knot. Nearly 3 years after their wedding, the Mickelsons increased their family numbers. Amy gave birth to their first daughter, Amanda Brynn Mickelson, in June 1999. Just two years later, the couple had another daughter, Sophia Isabel Mickelson, who was born in October 2001. But their family got even bigger in the years that followed! And in March 2003, their third child and only son, Evan Samuel Mickelson, was born.

The Mickelson family always came first. He even skipped out on possible career-changing golf events, prioritizing his wife and children. Heâ€™ll undoubtedly credit his parents, Philip and Mary Mickelson, for this beautiful upbringing. Lefty also has two siblings: Tim, his brother, who now serves as his caddy and is on the course with him for almost every event, and a sister, Tina.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's records</strong></h2>
It would be an understatement to say that Mickelson had a great golf career. It was enormous! Throughout his 30+ years of professional golf, the pro has amassed 57 professional wins. The majority of these came on the PGA Tour, where he spent 30 years playing. He won 45 events on the Tour, of which six were <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-how-old-was-phil-mickelson-when-he-won-his-first-major-championship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">major championships; his first came in 2004</a>, and his last to date, 17 years after that, came in 2021.

[caption id="attachment_1080910" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1080910 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-06-09T183727Z_232606975_UP1EI691FQD5M_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-LIV.jpg" alt="Phil Mickelson" width="1920" height="1380" /> Golf â€“ The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational â€“ Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain â€“ June 9, 2022 Team Hy Flyers Phil Mickelson of the U.S. during the first round Action Images via Reuters/Paul Childs[/caption]

He has won the prestigious Masters Tournament three times, and just this year he tied for second, narrowly missing his fourth victory at Augusta. He has also won the PGA Championship twice and the Open Championship once in his career. Currently, he needs just a US Open win to complete his much-anticipated career grand slam. But only time will tell if thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s possible for the golf legend.

Besides the majors and on the PGA Tour, heâ€™s also won five times on the European Tour, once on the Challenge Tour, four times on the PGA Tour Champions (senior circuit), and four other events during his professional career.

Thanks to his skill, Mickelson, of course, holds several records, but his biggest is one that he achieved in<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-how-many-major-championships-has-phil-mickelson-won/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2021 with his sixthÂ major win</a>. At 50 years, 11 months, and 7 days, he became the oldest player to ever win a major that year. A record that may just stand the test of time!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson controversy</strong></h2>
Unlike many other golfers, Mickelson didnâ€™t see a great number of controversies during his career. But his biggest came last year when he jumped ship and joined the new Saudi-backed league. Considering his huge reputation and the name that he had made for himself on the PGA Tour, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-phil-mickelson-opens-up-on-recent-struggles-after-joining-liv-golf-harder-than-i-thought/?utm_source=website%2F&amp;utm_medium=dive_deeper&amp;utm_campaign=internal_links" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many saw this as a betrayal</a> and as him turning his back on the Tour. Furthermore, for his choice, he also suffered the grave consequences of the indefinite PGA Tour ban and also lost many sponsors in the process.

Another big controversy that Mickelson has dealt with in his career is his gambling. The pro suffered from a grave addiction to gambling and was also infamously known for placing large bets with his fellow golfers during practice rounds on the course. Between 2010 and 2014 alone, he incurred nearly a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-phil-mickelson-who-has-a-300m-net-worth-once-lost-half-his-pga-tour-earnings-due-to-a-severe-gambling-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$40 million debt thanks to his gambling problem</a>. In 2021, he revealed that he was aware that it had become a problem that was affecting him and his family and that he had taken steps in the right direction.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Phil Mickelson's foundation and charity</strong></h2>
With the amount of money heâ€™s made in his lifetime, Mickelson also knows the importance of giving back to the community. Hence, in 2004, he and his wife, Amy, since family is their priority, set up the Phil and Amy Mickelson Foundation, which focuses on <em>â€œsupporting a variety of youth and family initiatives,â€Â </em>as per its website.

[caption id="attachment_829503" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-829503 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/593581a88c4cab4cf258dd4b_phil-mickelson-family-claret-jug-muirfield-2013-british-open.jpg" alt="Phil Mickelson and family" width="1920" height="1314" /> GULLANE, SCOTLAND â€“ JULY 21: Phil Mickelson of the United States holds the Claret Jug wife Amy and children Evan, Amanda and Sophia after winning the 142nd Open Championship at Muirfield on July 21, 2013 in Gullane, Scotland.

That same year, he partnered up with the PGA Tour to create a national military outreach platform, Birdies for the Brave,â€™ which still exists to date. The program has raised both awareness and funds for military members, veterans, and their families, helping them with rehabilitation housing, counseling, and even education and career development. Furthermore, in 2021, the Mickelson Foundation will have donated $1 million across 14 charities in the Coachella Valley.

Through his golf, too, Mickelson has been doing his bit for the community. He has participated in many exhibition events for charity to create awareness and raise funds for various purposes.

Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson, with his incredible club skills and his long list of achievements, has won over the hearts of many in his 30+ years as a professional golfer. In the era of Tiger Woods, Phil managed to make a name for himself and be known as one of the greatest golfers of all time. This was, of course, no ordinary feat! Although he spent the majority of his career in Woodsâ€™s shadow, Phil came to be known as the 15-time major winnerâ€™s rival and his biggest one! To date, he has continued to stun the golf world with his skill, despite his age, making him one of the players the golf world eagerly looks forward to watching on the course! Let&#8217;s explore all that the golf legend has accomplished in his career and the path he is now on. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s net worth 2024 Since he first picked up a club over five decades ago, Mickelson has certainly come a long way. Not only has he cemented his name in the golf world, but he has also created a massive empire out of his career! with numerous endorsement deals under his belt. The golf pro is currently worth approximately $400 million, a lot of which he owes to his latest partnership with LIV Golf. In the summer of 2022, Lefty was one of the many PGA Tour stars who jumped ship and headed over to the Saudi-backed league. His stature and hold over the golf world earned him a whopping $200 million contract from the new league where the golf pro now competes. With this switch in leagues, Phil also saw one of the biggest controversies of his lifetime! He faced backlash from fans, the public, and especially the PGA Tour, which banned him and the other stars who left from all Tour events indefinitely. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s early life Born in 1970, the golf pro was named Philip Alfred Mickelson. In the golf world, of course, he is better known as Lefty! He first began playing the sport when he was just a toddler, at 18 months old, by mirroring his fatherâ€™s swing. This led to him playing like a left-handed player despite being right-handed naturally, earning him his nickname as he got older.

Mickelson went on to win several tournaments, including the National Junior Player of the Year award, for three consecutive years, from 1986 to 1988. Mickelson also bagged a complete scholarship at Arizona State University (ASU) via his tremendous overall performance on the golf course. Phil went on to become the fourth amateur to win a PGA Tour title when he won the Northern Telecom Open in 1991 Phil Mickelsonâ€™s 2024 sources of income The $400 million man has undoubtedly seen massive earnings throughout his career. While his LIV contract is probably his biggest payday ever, itâ€™s not his only one. In his 30+ years of playing on the PGA Tour, including his major championship winnings, he has earned $96,572,310. In 2023, the golf pro made $2,855,250 after playing in 14 events. His total career earnings over the years are currently upward of a billion dollars, thanks to all these earnings! As of 2023, Mickelson was ranked the 7th highest-earning athlete in the year, but besides the course, Lefty makes a lot of money off it too. In 2024, Mickelson parted ways with Callaway and ended a 20-year partnership. The Lefty has multiple endorsement deals, through which he earns millions every year. Some of these companies include Coffee of Wellness, Amgen, Intrepid Financial Partners, Titleist, and Grayhawk. Moreover, he even owns a golf club, the Phil Mickelson Golf Club, which is flourishing. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s family and personal life Off the course, Mickelson has a different persona altogether. Heâ€™s a family man! His Twitter bio too shows that he prioritizes his family before all else, as it states, â€œHusband.Â Lefty. LIV. Golfer.â€Â Itâ€™s safe to say that his wife, Amy Mickelson, will always be the golferâ€™s first choice. Phil and Amy met back in 1992 while both were studying at Arizona State University. She was a cheerleader for the NBAâ€™s Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad. It wasnâ€™t long before they got together, and four years later, on November 16, 1996, the couple tied the knot. Nearly 3 years after their wedding, the Mickelsons increased their family numbers. Amy gave birth to their first daughter, Amanda Brynn Mickelson, in June 1999. Just two years later, the couple had another daughter, Sophia Isabel Mickelson, who was born in October 2001. But their family got even bigger in the years that followed! And in March 2003, their third child and only son, Evan Samuel Mickelson, was born. The Mickelson family always came first. He even skipped out on possible career-changing golf events, prioritizing his wife and children. Heâ€™ll undoubtedly credit his parents, Philip and Mary Mickelson, for this beautiful upbringing. Lefty also has two siblings: Tim, his brother, who now serves as his caddy and is on the course with him for almost every event, and a sister, Tina. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s records It would be an understatement to say that Mickelson had a great golf career. It was enormous! Throughout his 30+ years of professional golf, the pro has amassed 57 professional wins. The majority of these came on the PGA Tour, where he spent 30 years playing. He won 45 events on the Tour, of which six were major championships; his first came in 2004, and his last to date, 17 years after that, came in 2021.

He has also won the PGA Championship twice and the Open Championship once in his career. Currently, he needs just a US Open win to complete his much-anticipated career grand slam. But only time will tell if thatâ€™s something thatâ€™s possible for the golf legend. Besides the majors and on the PGA Tour, heâ€™s also won five times on the European Tour, once on the Challenge Tour, four times on the PGA Tour Champions (senior circuit), and four other events during his professional career. Thanks to his skill, Mickelson, of course, holds several records, but his biggest is one that he achieved in 2021 with his sixthÂ major win. At 50 years, 11 months, and 7 days, he became the oldest player to ever win a major that year. A record that may just stand the test of time! Phil Mickelson controversy Unlike many other golfers, Mickelson didnâ€™t see a great number of controversies during his career. But his biggest came last year when he jumped ship and joined the new Saudi-backed league. Considering his huge reputation and the name that he had made for himself on the PGA Tour, many saw this as a betrayal and as him turning his back on the Tour. Furthermore, for his choice, he also suffered the grave consequences of the indefinite PGA Tour ban and also lost many sponsors in the process. Another big controversy that Mickelson has dealt with in his career is his gambling. The pro suffered from a grave addiction to gambling and was also infamously known for placing large bets with his fellow golfers during practice rounds on the course. Between 2010 and 2014 alone, he incurred nearly a $40 million debt thanks to his gambling problem. In 2021, he revealed that he was aware that it had become a problem that was affecting him and his family and that he had taken steps in the right direction. Phil Mickelson&#8217;s foundation and charity With the amount of money heâ€™s made in his lifetime, Mickelson also knows the importance of giving back to the community. Hence, in 2004, he and his wife, Amy, since family is their priority, set up the Phil and Amy Mickelson Foundation, which focuses on â€œsupporting a variety of youth and family initiatives,â€Â as per its website.

The program has raised both awareness and funds for military members, veterans, and their families, helping them with rehabilitation housing, counseling, and even education and career development. Furthermore, in 2021, the Mickelson Foundation will have donated $1 million across 14 charities in the Coachella Valley. Through his golf, too, Mickelson has been doing his bit for the community. He has participated in many exhibition events for charity to create awareness and raise funds for various purposes. How to contact Phil Mickelson?
