Why would you waste a political question on Phil? You can ask him anything and you waste it. Why would you ask any pro athlete their take on politics. Phil also didnt even no what she was referring to lol
I'm not saying I agree with it or not, but I think the answer to "why" is probably clicks. For better or worse (likely worse), journalism, and by extension journalists, are judged and compensated by clicks. People don't pay for daily paper delivery anymore. You need to get a headline that generates clicks to survive. Politics riles emotion and generates those clicks.
@@thejokeexplainer it’s also why people (with brains) are becoming increasingly disinterested in politics and social issues. As you said it’s mostly brought up to rile people up to generate interest.
@@alexjones7043 I very much agree it's a complete turn off (though smart policy may be more important now because the world is changing faster). The discourse is almost never about a data-driven ways to improve policy. It's usually just emotionally-driven, half-true clickbait. I'm looking forward to tuning it out (even more than usual) and coming together to watch some world class golf on the biggest stage.
I think Phil knew exactly what she was referring to. While she was asking the question his face, to me, said "you're not really asking this, are you?". Phil is no dummy in just about any subject. The guy's a straight up genius.
@@Airplane_Willy Phil’s smart and smooth. No way he was falling for such an obvious trap. I hope he becomes an announcer when he retires.
Perhaps it is just me but it seems like the male reporters are asking relevant questions about Phil and the Masters, while the female reporters are woke and only interested in trying to get Phil to say something that will get him canceled.
isnt he worth like 400m dollars? these people act as if "cancelling" somebody like that is actually going to do anything other than give them clout with their friends that are actually grown up versions of children..
That same lady asked that question to multiple players. She needs to be kicked out and never let back in. This isn't a stage for woke sjws
*Nope. Not just you Mathew. I noticed that too. Glad to see other folks calling out this bad behavior by these so-called 'journalists'.*
Phil will never be cancelled
It's not just you. It's you and a 100 other systematic or just-plain racists, and counting...
When he answered that question about the 12th hole I paused the video and out loud said to myself “Wow. That was a perfect answer.” The entire time he was speaking I was thinking to myself: When he retires, I hope he becomes an announcer. What a class act.
Well said my friend. I hope the same, would love for Phil to impart some of his knowledge even after he stops playing professionally.
I'm a lefty too. My pull goes long, my push goes short. The green is shaped that way. I remember Phil saying that same situation is one of the big reasons he went for his famous shot off of the pine straw on 13. His misses were more likely to be playable. And yes, he'd be great in the booth.
He absolutely should. I think he will. He’s far too passionate and articulate to not use his skills to continue his legacy of growing the game.
He's an amazing observer of the game.
Don't ask athletes about politics. Nobody asks politicians about sports.
Politicians talk about sports all the time.
Athletes talk about politics all the time.
This is not new
Beautiful reply!!!!!
except when they do.
Political questions...?? Really? Shameful, but MASTERFULLY handled by a true Champion. Phil - you're an amazing golfer and an even more amazing human being.
The left wing media wants nothing more than to destroy the Masters like they destroy everything else. If they dislike something, they can't just change the channel or ignore it, they take it upon themselves to find a way to destroy it. I agree, bravo to Phil for taking the high road. I would have ripped that b!+ch a new a$$h0le!
I honestly think it’s shameful to force all of these guys to speak on the Georgia voting law issue. These guys are golfers. They are there to golf.
Did the Vagas guys come true , Nice finger
Phil handled it perfectly though
I changed the channel on GC when they started showing Rory's reply to the question.
@@foofighter303 did rory cave to the mob?
@@BossInVegas I didn't watch long enough to hear his full answer, but it was going the PC route.
Stay Classy Phil! Loved the pavlova anecdote :)
Class act Phil
Imagine having the opportunity to ask Phil Mickelson about Augusta National and you decide to ask him not one but two political questions instead. What a waste of everyone’s time.
You can thank CBS.
Only a moron would ask a guest, invited to play on one of the most special golf venues in the entire world, to disparage his host and his sport.
Looking for a headline grabber plain and simple.
The club has a horrific history of racism.
History is in the past
More I hear from Phil the more I like him
Yeah, he's a cool cat.
Phil refuses to get on the political level - I LOVE IT ! Here to play golf - not get into it !
Same - I’ve noticed sports journalism these days is more revolves around entrapment and getting a juicy line from an athlete rather than asking insightful questions.
Shame on the lady asking those set up non golf questions
I knew he wasn't going to take the bait. BRAVO PHIL
What a stupid question. SMH.
"I'm not really familiar with the details of the law you're talking about..." Don't worry Phil, neither is she.
And not shockingly, neither is the president nor his followers!
Phil should have said "no I support Georgia requiring id to vote". The arrogance of that journalist was astonishing
trump is right about ga too : D trump 2024?
Christine should be banned from Augusta for life. Period
The activist who spoke up at 8:00 to ask her question needs to be stripped of her press pass. What a disgrace. "Is your sport doing enough to combat this law?" is the most egregiously biased and ridiculous question I have heard of an athlete in a long time. Activists like that posing as reporters, and the companies that hire them, bring shame onto the media profession, and the shame is very well deserved.
Absolutely. Well said. An advocate for the rightwing’s projected cancel culture.
It's the job people with press passes to ask tough questions and not just lob softballs. It's the wrong sport anyway.
@@tony.bickert The issue wasn't that it was a "tough" question, but a completely biased question which relied a highly questionable premises. The best way to respond would be to take issue with the premises, but doing that would get into all sorts of political issues at a golf press conference. Let's just stop beating around the bush and call out reporter bias.
@@phidip2328 Georgia is in the news due to racism. Augusta National has a history of racism. It's a Masters press conference. It's a fair, unbiased question from the press. Unpleasant to you but that's a you thing. No free passes. Sorry. Deal with it. When you need the tough questions to be asked in your world by the press I will stand up for you too.
@@tony.bickert Tony, Georgia is not in the news because of "racism". It is in the news because leftists have advanced a highly partisan and suspect narrative in regard to stronger voting laws. The reporter's question buys into that highly suspect and partisan narrative and presumes others agree. Because the question is so loaded with opinion based on a particular partisan worldview, it is a partisan question and has no place at a news conference, much less a news conference about golf.
Love Phil's answer "I believe in treating all people equally". Nice...
He said "equal" but he gets a pass. He was hitting 1 irons into a flower pot during grammar school.
Phil handled the political question with class.
I wish they would keep politics out of sports.
A better reply would be to ask “what’s wrong with Georgia’s election law?” Then when the liberal activist says “black people are too poor to get an ID”, Phil should call the liberal activist a racist for suggesting such a racist conspiracy theory.
Well if u reveal ur real political opinion, you lose a lot of supporters
@@someoneonyoutube7918 If you don’t support ensuring the integrity of our elections, then you’re a racist.
Honestly, the PGA and MLB should not really care very much how states decide they want to manage their elections. The problem is, they insist on mixing politics with sports, entertainment and business and it is slowly destroying our culture. The answer should always be "we are in the sports and entertainment business, not politics, so we leave those things to the politicians, ask them."
It’s funny listening to Phil answering questions vs Dustin lol and I loved how he let the one guy at the end get his question in
For a Champions Tour question as well. Probably the most intriguing aspect of Phil’s career right now. Glad it made it to the conference.
That last question might have been set up.
@@TheCoreyHodges Glad it got asked because it looks ever bigger in light of his PGA victory.
Whoever asked the political question should never do that again.
She's been asking political questions to everyone. Asked that same question to multiple players. She needs to be kicked out and never be allowed back in there
These people think that everything has to be all politics all the time
She’s not a journalist/ she’s an activist. It would be fantastic for someone to push back on both her making it political but also the specifics of why it needs to be pushed back on.
Easiest to just give her canned answers and not feed her tho i guess
remove their credentials from the grounds. This is a golf show not a political rally.
There oughta be a law against the free press! They want to cancel white racists! Patriots against democracy. Lets get em. Wait, scratch that. Geez, I was almost indoctrinated. The mob of 116 likes almost got me to march with them to the clubhouse with flag pole clubs and buffalo hats.
Class act!
There's always one who pushes the political / social question. He's a golfer and the Masters is a golf tournament, can we please have ONE thing in this country that is about the game and expect nothing else? I'm begging.
The fact that so many people want an event to be about the excitement of a sport rather than politics is like putting a gigantic target on it for the Woke mob to attack. The woke movement is toxic, and they don't really care who they drag down.
Phil the thrill! What a legend.
You need an ID to get into the press tent! And you should have one to vote too!
Touche! And by the way, here in Florida they will often give away free sandbags during potential hurricanes. And guess what...you need an ID to get one.
FISHING HUNTING-NOT VOTING-FM
If anyone deserves the career Grand Slam, it has to be Phil.
He’s been unlucky and made some dodgy decisions in the US Open, I just hope that he can somehow find a way to win the missing major of his fantastic, hall of fame career!
Augusta National Golf Club should kick Christine Brennan out of the press room permanently, for always asking political questions.
If he didn't make the dodgy decisions, he wouldn't be Phil.
what is it with the women reporters and their political questions??
They don’t know anything about the sport so they ask about feelings.
It is always feelings with women. Why do you think most married men don't do sports with their wife. Do you think women want men around talking about "feelings". 😂
What an ignorant comment.
THANK YOU MICKE
“My game feels better than the scores...” as a lefty, another thing Phil and I have in common!
Some just can't leave politics out of sports. The report or who ask the question on Georgia voting law should read it! I pray the PGA doesn't fall in the trap of trying to appease the socialist left idiocy. It will surely ruin the game has it has other pro sports.
It’s because they don’t really care about the sport. They’re only here because we are. And they don’t have any ability or personality to start something for themselves.
When I started my career 29 years ago as a funeral director, my boss told me never do two things; you don’t talk religion and you don’t talk politics. So simple yet so perfect. Love Phil.... he’s smart!
Journos....leave the politics out of it. These guys are golfers, focus on that, not the politics.
especially masters week, a major, the biggest major of the year like the us open for tennis or Daytona 500/super bowl, she should be suspended.
Only thing I've seen from Phil lately has been not so great golf but man I love his mindset and attitude coming into this week
You think YOU could beat him?
Imagine asking a "gotcha" political question to Phil Mickelson during this week of all weeks. Major cringe.
im suprised the gambling thing or us open putting the ball still moving wasnt brought up, these reporters priority questions r messed up.
@@Zug75 The masters has a history of racism, not gambling or cheating.
@@tony.bickert The Masters has dealt with their past issues successfully. No story here.
Phil’s unwavering belief that he would eventually win the masters is what establishes him as really a
great player of all time especially doing it 3 times. Has he got a 4th one in him? Maybe. He knows how to do it. But maybe he’d prefer a US open. And so would everyone else. They’d love to see him win it. He would have the career grand slam. Only 5 people have it.
You’d be number 6 Phil. It’s not impossible. He deserves it. I’d take that bet.
By Golly I sure Respect and Admire Phil Mickelson for his candor, sense of humor and strait forward answers. P.S. he sure can hit that pill around the pasture too.
6:06 .. Ya gotta love Phil.
I have to show my i.d. to pick up a package. How is it "voter suppression" requiring one when voting? SMH
In Australia if you absentee vote at a polling booth not in your district you have to provide ID, and always have. It just keeps people honest. Its really not a big deal.
It isn’t. It’s liberal lies and disingenuous behavior. When asked to be specific about something in the bill, they refuse. They know the bill has nothing discriminatory in it. But they insist on referring to the bill as a whole as if it somehow contains some thing untoward or racist. Yet it doesn’t because they never answer the question when asked to be specific.
Well by my knowledge the bill is loaded with things like reducing ballot dropboxes, extending voting lines by assigning specific voting places, banning mail in voting and ID is a small part of the bill. Unfortunately that will make voting more difficult, and is an attempt to solve the fake voter fraud issues that were really never there.
@@someoneonyoutube7918 not true. it doesn't even require signature verification. you libs don't care about voter integrity.
@@someoneonyoutube7918 Well, I got news for you. It provides longer early voting in rural counties, increased drop boxes in rural counties, resources to combat excessively long polling lines, it provides added security with ID and drop box locations during early voting. The only people that could complain are Democrats that want to steal another election. For anyone else, this affords plenty of voting options with the most transparent and reliable results.
Go Phil!!
The Pavlova story is classic.
Greatest short game player of all time.
Him or Seve
@@SN2903 Phil's still doing it.
Seve better.
Absolutely disgraceful from the woman (Karen) trying to carve out a political story from Phil, she should be banned from the premises.
Christine brennan
@@Labelup01 Oh Gawd, is that who it was? Figures. She's a major PITA, and a mediocre writer too. And it's because she's mediocre that she always has to play the race and gender angles, so she can appear "edgy."
I think Phil would make an excellent commissioner
If I were Phil, upon getting the “voting law” question, I think I would have stood up, thanked everyone for their support and questions, and walked off the stage.
Phil handled it the way it should have been handled. He is a guest in the premier golf venue in the world. As much as we would all like to see it done the way you suggest, handling it with class is the “Masters” way to handle it. In reality, there is too much at stake to handle it any differently at any tour stop. Yes, the golf is the entertainment, but the benefit to charity in the local community is monumental. It is wise not to turn over the apple cart when the benefit to every community that has a tournament is so huge.
I wish you were playing this year (2022) Phil. I know you wanted to take time away, but dude, come back for the majors!
His understanding of the game is incredible
Tell reporters to stop asking political questions!!!!!! This is golf ffs!
Haha back to your shantees
Class Act!!!! Thanks Phill!!!
There is always someone that has to bring politics into the discussion, send her home, this is the Masters!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would never let her back
Yeah...AND she, like all reporters asked her question with insinuations based on her own narrative. Smh. Screw MLB already..but i hope enough people get serious about boycotting coke & every coke product ..to hurt them.
The "her" is Brennan of the Washington Post. Mediocre reporter who does sports "issues," but not sports per se. She's a waste.
I miss Phil being in contention, I hope he gets his game back soon
He's 50.
Such a legend. I noticed Phil's putting took a hit when he started wearing those sunnies. Tho they do look cool, id be intrigued to know if his putting comes back when he drops them or not. At least for my peace of mind alone.. ; )
If you are unable to obtain identification you should not be allowed to vote the bar should be a lot higher but let’s start there
Nice job, Phil! Masters week is about the golf & tournament, not politics.
6 time runner up at US Open!
lol if he can give those 6 silver for one golf he asked once. prolly to tiger in that (the match)
Great job Phil. Too bad some people have an agenda and can't be filtered out this was a interview on golf plain and simple!
The masters, run for near a century by the top tier of privileged systematic racists,.deserves tough questions. But keep those 10 cent hotdogs!
Phill will win this week with score of 13 or 14 under
I have Phil winning too. If Tom Brady can win a super Bowl at 43, Mickelson can win the masters at 50.
How did he finish.......
"as a Californian" lol I can't.
Why is it that the three female journalists asked questions not related to golf or the masters tournament? If this is their only angle, maybe they should be removed from the press gallery. Don’t get me wrong. I am all for equality, inclusiveness etc. but really. 🤔
You have a three time Masters champion who is very articulate and prepared to talk about the tradition of the tournament, his personal triumphs, the nuances of the course, and you have a couple of journalists trying to score political points.....disgusting.
I was disgusted by those questions too.
Someone please ban the female reporter trying to set this man up with these ridiculous political questions that have absolutely nothing to do with The Masters or golf. I’m glad he said what he said!
sounded like he said polikicks lol 13:41
The hair dye is working well, if nothing else😉
At least it's not running down his neck.
Phil - How much did you win on the bet?
Sports organizations, businesses, and entertainers should not be trying to "combat the new Georgia voter law", Georgia has decided they want to manage their elections a certain way, that is their business. This is a golf tournament and nothing more. People need perspective, this politicizing of everything will be our destruction.
8:10 cringe
“Next question”... in all seriousness he answered that very professionally and without controversy
Everyone: Let's talk about the Masters with Phil
A**hole Reporter: What do you think about politics Phil?
13:35 - what a perfect answer. Thank you Phil for not catering to the WOKE MOB - That reporter that asked that question needs to be fired.... Stop bringing politics into sports!
the deep state spurts media too like espn, when will they stop, like steve sands on jts gp, really steve o?
I wish that reporter would stop trying to infect The Masters with her politics.
1 Phil hater disliked.
2
Just jealous
It was Christine brennan
It's secretly Tiger.
14 as of today. Yep it was Christine Brennan & her Delta³ sorority sisters voting it down. lol
Keep politics out of sports!
This is GOLF leave politics out
As of April 2022 - the things Phil says in this interview are all contradicted by his turncoat events of this year. Phil was banned this year by the Masters - let's see how long his banishment lasts.
What an absurdly long table
Gotta show that social distancing fear mongering
Not a fan of your work Christine.
Based on few of those questions Augusta really should consider implementing back some of those old policies.
I wonder how much Phil won for the Pavlova thingy?
Hope he got Zach Johnson to pony up that C-note!
Try to trap a pro athlete with a loaded question. Nice move
Woke journalists should have their credentials pulled.
PHIL LOOKS LIKE HE WORKED OUT SO HARD HE'S TEMPORARILY LOST SOME OF HIS TOUCH.. It will come soon..
California. Let me keep quiet about California.
Someone needed to tell that funt that was asking the political questions to go home and bake some cookies!
What is it with the American media always asking cringeworthy ‘dream’ questions?
Did they say the Champions dinner was pigs in a blanket? That's just gross!
You know it is sausage in bread right?
As an appetizer
@@tomreed153I just looked up menu and main course is Filet Mignon and meso-saultae bass, with mashed potatoes and spring veggies. House or Caesar salad. Why did they just mention the appetizer? Don't know but pigs in a blanket is mini hotdogs in pastry.
It’s actually a small sausage wrapped in crispy bacon. Superb.
@@tomreed153 Pigs in blankets are served with roast turkey normally at cristmass dinner. They are also used as hors d’oeuvres or a party snack food.
Everyone in the comments trying to cancel the reporters who asked questions they didn't want to hear. Gotta have a little thicker skin than that. A couple questions ain't gonna kill anybody.
That's fine if she wants to ask any question she wants - it's her time slot - she can ask Phil as to what color his underwear is... no one cares. But when she presents her question in the dishonest way that she did (in painting the new GA voting law as a bad law that needs to be combatted & that it is bad for minority voters/diversity/inclusion), she ABSOLUTELY deserves to be called out on it. Plain & simple.
*But... by calling her out, I guess some folks (it's only just a few, trust me on this) will be offended. It sounds like YOU need some thicker skin... because you are definitely an offended & triggered dude. You are DEFINITELY triggered when you lie about everyone trying to 'cancel' that reporter.*
She needs to GTFO
Past is the Past .
Listen politics is politics right? The first question was tactless sure, but the second question was just weird and nondescript.
I wonder if the token SJW reporter had an agenda?
Should have pronounced it Amaturrrrr....not Amachurrr.
You all talk about not being political but look at all these comments, politics rule and the new law in Georgia is truly draconian. I even see some really awesome racist and sexist comments in here and probably a couple of capitol stormers. I wish I didn't love a game that attracts some many douchebags.
*TRIGGERED BLM DEVOTEE*
Are you hear me?
Hopefully the reporter with the political question never has a seat in the interview room again.
Great answer to the woke reporter
Mickelson could do with a better hair painter.
The perpetual custard analogously tempt because middle ultrasonographically face apud a black footnote. abstracted, unaccountable joseph
How about a question back about how the media was complicit in all the civil rights violations in the 1960's? WOKE all day long
That woman has asked pretty much the same question about politics to every player I have seen interviewed. Kind of annoying.
What an embarrassment reporters are now.
BAN CHRISTINE
Get that woman out of there
Sorry Phil some liberal nobody had to ask about politics, she set up and should be removed from the media here at this special place. We don't do politics at golf tournaments, what an embarrassment!
An event that has the ability to make grown adults feel like little children and people still want to talk politics. Let us have our week in golfs disneyland without shrouding in your wokeness. I want a popsicle.
There's gotta be one idiot that brings race and politics into it.
