It was all around, just bad. He never really took responsibility, I think because he stands by what he said and what he’s doing,” concluded Spiranac.

He had criticized the tour on various aspects and backed the rival league. Furthermore, most of his sponsors have ended or paused their relationship with Mickelson. The 51-year-old is having a tough time as he is facing criticism from all sides. Meanwhile, Phil hasn’t spoken or revealed anything after the apology. So it will be interesting to see what will be his next step.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Paige Spiranac? </b></h2>
A pro-golfer, a model, and a social media influencer—not many can list all three in their career, but Paige Spiranac can. An ex-pro-golfer who chose the path of content creation to spread the understanding of golf and bring the sport closer to the audience. Paige Renee Spiranac is a former golfer turned social media sensation. Born on March 26th, 1993, the now 30-year-old is one of the most followed golf influencers in the world, despite her professional disassociation with the sport in 2016.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paige Spiranac's early life and family</h2>
With sports running deep in her veins, Paige Spiranac was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, to a family of three. She was welcomed home by her father, Dan, her mother, Annette, and an older sister, Lexie. Growing up, Paige fancied an interest in professional gymnastics. However, an unfortunate accident at age 12 forced her to quit her dreams off the mat and pushed her toward the course. She further pursued her interest in golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University from 2011 to 2015.

Paige was married to her long-term boyfriend, Steven Tinoco. Paige met her husband, a former minor league baseball player and athletic coach, in 2016, and the duo got married in 2018. But in 2022, on her podcast,<em> Playing A Round</em>, she revealed that she and her ex-husband are now divorced.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Paige Spiranac's junior amateur and college golf career</strong></h2>
In a short-lived golf career, Paige Spiranac exhibited brilliance right from a young age. She won 5 tournaments on Colorado's junior golf circuit. Her list of records during her time in Colorado includes becoming a top-20 junior player in the world, a top-5 college recruit, a two-time West Region Player of the Year, and a first-team All-American as a member of the Future Collegians World Tour. Notably, these heroics earned her a scholarship from the University of Arizona.

As a freshman in 2011–2012, she competed in only three events and failed to make a significant mark. Following her best score of 73 that year, she moved to San Diego State soon after. In the 2012-2013 season, she recorded a fifth-place finish at the Cal Classic, a sixth at the Mountain West Championship, and a nineteenth at the NCAA Central Regional Championships.

Her 2013-2014 season was equally flourishing, as it resulted in Second-Team All-Mountain West Honors and one top-ten finish at the Mountain West Championship. In July 2015, in a 35-hole title match, Paige Spiranac won, finishing nine strokes under par.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Paige Spiranac's professional golf career</strong></h2>

However, in 2016, Paige competed at the Ladies Scottish Open, her second LET event, where she finished 58th. A debut on the Cactus Tour in 2016 resulted in a five-under-par final round and tied at T14. Notably, it was followed by her second event at Lookout Mountain, which resulted in a third-place tie at one under.

Ending the season with a 30th-place finish, she shot an opening-round 78 at the Arizona Women’s Open. Notably, Paige Spiranac competed at her first LPGA qualifying tournament that season in 2016 but failed to make the cut. Following this, she returned to the LET, but facing defeat yet again, she hung her boots and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-when-and-why-did-paige-spiranac-retire-from-professional-golf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retired from professional golf thereafter.</a>

Paige Spiranac 2024: Net Worth, Salary, Endorsements, and More

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 Woods’s shadow, Phil came to be known as the 15-time major winner’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 father’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 – The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational – Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain – June 10, 2022 Team Hy Flyer’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 Mickelson’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, it’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. He’s a family man! His Twitter bio too shows that he prioritizes his family before all else, as it states, “<em>Husband.</em> <em>Lefty. LIV. Golfer.”</em> It’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 golfer’s first choice. Phil and Amy met back in 1992 while both were studying at Arizona State University. She was a cheerleader for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns cheerleading squad.

It wasn’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. He’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 – The inaugural LIV Golf Invitational – Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Britain – 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 that’s something that’s possible for the golf legend.

Besides the majors and on the PGA Tour, he’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 sixth 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 didn’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.

With the amount of money he’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>“supporting a variety of youth and family initiatives,” </em>as per its website.

That same year, he partnered up with the PGA Tour to create a national military outreach platform, Birdies for the Brave,’ 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.
