Phil is so human. He plays from bad lies and under the trees as much as an amateur golfer. Difference is he makes his best shots from the worst situations. Always been a high risk high reward golfer and has always been my favorite modern golfer.
My Grandpa has the same commentary with my golf! “Did you see it go in the sand, then out of the sand, hit a tree and BACK in the same bunker?! If there’s anyone that can do it, it’s Dylan Thompson.”
He singlehandedly made me love the sport as a kid. He's a mad scientist; not afraid to hit any lie or hazard. Has me howling and in awe in equal measure.
Phil has always been my favorite golfer. I've never met him but I've heard he is one of the nicest guys on the PGA tour. And a great father/ husband. Would love to meet him some day.
I love Phil. But doesn't that sort of say Tiger is simply better. If Tiger wasn't born, a lot of people would have won a lot of titles. But he was born and he did win all the PGA titles.
I think 12 is a more reasonable amount. To be fair, Phil would've won at least 3 more majors if he did not take too many risks. A lot of the times that he got close he lost because he took too many chance and lost to non-Tiger players.
@@fitz908 Right. I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious. Either way, it's true. He put himself in position to have to make miraculous shots.
I watched Phil chipping around the practice green in Southport, he is golfing magician, an experience I will never forget. He is also a true gentleman and a credit to the game of golf.
Man, from a lad from the south west of Ireland and Limerick to be specifically, the k club 2006 cemented my love for this game. Phil and tiger brought the game of golf to us common folk. In my humble opinion, they changed my life. I now play off 26, once a year. Much love x will get better over time.. for sure!!
Lefty's teachings have shaved strokes off my handicap. But not one of us will compare to this guru modern day master of that 60. He is a special golfer that all of us should admire.
Phil to me had and probably still has the greatest recovery game I've ever seen. Yhe imagination heart bottle and the ability yo make a nevmgative a massive positive. The man is my hero because he like seve got into situations we all find ourselves in and somehow managed to pull shots off 99 percent of golfers can't even see. Unbelievable golfer, unbelievable personality one of if not the best short game player the planet has ever seen.
OMG i just love this video! I used to suck at my shortgame but now i am much better thanks to Phil and these motivation videos, i have been training so much and now my hcp is 2.0.
I've been trying to practice my chipping technique and steepen it a little, I'm too inconsistent around the green and a good putter but hcp is 10 on 18.
I don’t know how many of you here watch cricket. Those long shots by Phil looks like Yuvrajs straight drive for a six. Amazing, elegant and pure artistry.
I can't believe the pine straw shot at 13 on Sunday at the 2010 Masters is not #1 (or at least top 3) on the list considering the pressure of the back nine of a major on Sunday. Oh, he won it too!
@@thatoneweasel What do you mean? I made a random observation and thought it was funny, cuz he is incredibly hard to find lol.. It reminded me of "Where's Waldo" lol
@@thatoneweasel But anyway, the OP pointed out the crowd, so I watched the crowd's reaction and noticed there was no black people at all.. But then after breezing thru, I found ONE!.. lol
There is definitely method to his madness. He has utmost confidence in the insane shots, so he knows he can take a few bad tee offs and still be in contention. Plus I'm sure he's aware it's entertaining
After last weekends PGA Championship you need to add one more shot to this list!! Great chip-in at #5 during the final round. Perfect shot at the perfect moment!
you can pick literally any person in the crowd and they all go bananas. just replayed it 20+ times and watched a different person every time hahahahaha
A bunch of these shots were at TPC Boston for the Dutcheu Bank Championship, I got every year because it’s 20min away from where I live, unfortunately never saw any of these shots live
I would have liked to see Mickelson using a Taylor driver, all clubs Callaway except for big stick. I am sure he would have had a lot less runner ups. What a thrill to see him play.
Phil Mickelson is the ultimate "play it where it lies" guy
That’s incredibly true
how it should be
No question
Yup
I swear he puts himself in these situations just so he can pull off these incredible recovery shots. Legend
Gotta be on purpose lol I was just thinking that.
I literally was thinking this earlier
Phil's reactions are priceless. He tries to hide the smile but fails every time. I think that's what makes him a fan favorite

Like McCord said, "The worse it gets the better he gets"
The only guy who can honestly say he was better than Tiger with a wedge.
Other than me of course
There were a couple others
Seve, Watson, Zinger
Bob Vokey, when asked who was the best, said Seve and it is not close, then Trevino and Phil, then Tiger.
I honestly think Tiger would say Phil was better than him with a wedge.
Like fine wine, mickelson only gets better with his age.
He’s actually gotten significantly worse irl but his highlights age well lol
Dude blows what are you talking about
Lol
@@sm-mv8hi pretty sure he’s saying that people appreciate Phil’s greatness more now
I would not say that he blows guys 😎 your comments did not age well
Watching Phil the Thrill and Tiger in their prime was a special time for golfing fans!!!
Every shot starts with something like “if anyone can do this it’s phil”
And he can
I reckon most of his shots start with his caddy say, "no Phil that'll never work " followed by him saying "wanna bet".
@@davidnewman5807 ya
My Grandpa has the same commentary with my golf! “Did you see it go in the sand, then out of the sand, hit a tree and BACK in the same bunker?! If there’s anyone that can do it, it’s Dylan Thompson.”
Who’s here after Phil just won the PGA championship at Kiawah....
Love Phil Mickelson videos, absolute legend
He singlehandedly made me love the sport as a kid. He's a mad scientist; not afraid to hit any lie or hazard. Has me howling and in awe in equal measure.
Phil has always been my favorite golfer. I've never met him but I've heard he is one of the nicest guys on the PGA tour. And a great father/ husband. Would love to meet him some day.
Who doesn't love Lefty. He surprised me every time I watched him try a crazy shot
17:16 dude jumps into the water
i like to imagine he thought everyone would jump in and looked around and he was the only one
@@xxwill6xx576 i reckon he had money on him to win,or he was just his no1 fan
@@PolarisSouth or may have lost a bet amongst his peers.lol.
I came here for this comment. Thank you.
Did anyone else notice the guy cannonball into the water after the very last shot?
Yeah, he didn’t survive that unfortunately.
@@Will-nb8qk Huh, was it the piranha or alligators that got him. Give us an explanation Will.
@@danny_the_K yo mama got him
13:43
The most unreal backspin I have seen in my life!
he had bugs bunny use a magnet under the green
@@vdunny3780 only logical answer
look the 3:50 bunker shot that was the unreal backspin i think
Long life Phil. You have given us so much.
Bro I haven't even hit 50 good shots in my life what the heck
Phil would've won 20 majors had he been born 10 yrs earlier..(pre-Tiger.)
I love Phil. But doesn't that sort of say Tiger is simply better. If Tiger wasn't born, a lot of people would have won a lot of titles. But he was born and he did win all the PGA titles.
@@tash_views I'm a way bigger Phil fan than a Tiger fan, but yes, Tiger is better.
But Tiger didn’t even win 20...but I see your point
I think 12 is a more reasonable amount. To be fair, Phil would've won at least 3 more majors if he did not take too many risks. A lot of the times that he got close he lost because he took too many chance and lost to non-Tiger players.
@@christopherliang6879 you could also argue that Phil won as many as he did because of the risks he takes.
How on earth is his 2nd shot from #13 in the 2010 Masters not here?! Probably the single greatest shot I've ever seen in my life.
majors are excluded from the list
@@ricardoraposo3630 but why?
They done messed up a Aron
PGA tour has no permission to use it.
@@bryannguyen8440 but I thought the majors were part of the PGA Tour?
moral of the story: phil mickelson hits bad tee shots
True. But, it doesn't matter. Phil's entertainment factor has been good for golf.
@@logiman ik man, im just joking. I love phil
@@fitz908 Right. I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or serious. Either way, it's true. He put himself in position to have to make miraculous shots.
If I think of 2 repeated Phil moments, it’s magical up and downs from around the green, and him saying “Oh my god” after hitting his tee shot
Drive for show putt for dough!
I love the clips when he celebrates with Zach Johnson with a handshake. For some reason that’s so fun to me.
Phil Mickelson is like the Houdini of Golf you never know what he's going to do, but you know it's going to be incredible
A truly gifted player and a class act every time! Love watching him play!
I agree. Phil, Rory, and Duval are my favorites
I watched Phil chipping around the practice green in Southport, he is golfing magician, an experience I will never forget. He is also a true gentleman and a credit to the game of golf.
I love the calm handshake reaction to amazing shots at the ryder cups. Just great .
The reason for fan favorite...
He has a beautiful smile

Even non-golfers love Phil !
He makes me feel better. I'm constantly hitting from different obstacles as well.
4:17 #38 is LITERALLY one of the best golf shots I have EVER seen.
I must watch too much Golf. I was surprised at how many of these shots that I saw live. Great video- thanks for posting!
Absolutely number 1+ with the skill to do sometimes the impossible and make it look easy. What a job to watch and then laugh with him.
the greatest wedge player to ever play on tour.
You got to love the guy , a real person who loves life
Phil's the best at recovery shots, coz he really has to be to stay in contention. He's a legend!
Lefty's teachings have shaved strokes off my handicap. But not one of us will compare to this guru modern day master of that 60. He is a special golfer that all of us should admire.

"Phil the thrill"...I tip my hat 🎩
16 people gave this a thumbs down?
They must not like golf, sports in general, pure skill,.... or life
Probably the best short game golfer you'll ever see. Incredible.
One of my all time favourite golfers, legend
No one:
Literally no one:
The Commentator: If anyone's gonna do it, it's Phil
I never play golf, ones I was in golf club. But it's this man watching make me want to try golf for the first time!
Phil Mickelson must have the most Chip-Ins on the PGA Tour.
OMG i just love this video! I used to suck at my shortgame but now i am much better thanks to Phil and these motivation videos, i have been training so much and now my hcp is 2.0.

I 💕Phil Michelson! As a newbie and high handicapper he is an inspiration!
I don’t know how many of you here watch cricket. Those long shots by Phil looks like Yuvrajs straight drive for a six. Amazing, elegant and pure artistry.
He is a living legend
Phil understood early that ⛳ is a spectator sport and pure entertainment which he has perfected.
This video is part of my pre-round warm up. I believe in watching people do things perfectly to prepare for battle.
17:15, that dude just yeeted into the pond
lol
The gentleman of the game and a nice guy with it, always has time for his fans
It's a pleasure watching him play.
A True People's Champion - Phil Mickelson!
One of my favorite players of all. Phil..
No masters putt or second shot through the trees?!?!?!
They’ve literally never done majors just take 2 seconds and read the description
Non majors. Please read the description.
His short game is just incredible
This man is a legend. Wow 👏
The guy at the end who jumps into the pond after Phil's win is my spirit animal.
This man has magic in his hands.
I can't believe the pine straw shot at 13 on Sunday at the 2010 Masters is not #1 (or at least top 3) on the list considering the pressure of the back nine of a major on Sunday. Oh, he won it too!
Kept waiting for it thinking it might be 1 haha
But I guess maybe they don’t count non regular tour events like majors for this “list”
@@jamesovertone7914 has to be the case, right? We can all agree that is one of his if not one of the best all time...
Non majors. Please read the description.
The human highlight reel of golf.
One of my favorite moments is at 46, I remember seeing that live and laughing when I heard it.
The crowds reaction at 12:11 is incredible
There's ONE black person in that crowd... Let me know if you can find him/her.. Its not easy lol
@@JonHop1 what does that have to do with literally anything
@@thatoneweasel What do you mean? I made a random observation and thought it was funny, cuz he is incredibly hard to find lol.. It reminded me of "Where's Waldo" lol

There is definitely method to his madness. He has utmost confidence in the insane shots, so he knows he can take a few bad tee offs and still be in contention.
Plus I'm sure he's aware it's entertaining
'Oh ye of little faith." -Phil's family motto
Almost a 20 min long video from pga, YES
They'll never be another Phil.
Could watch him all day
My favorite is Phil's 3rd shot out of the pine straw just over the creek for a tap in eagle, I think it was #13 at the Masters.
That would have been his second shot to the green for a tap in. My favorite too!
With all due respect to TIGER as the best complete golfing champion of all time, PHIL is the #1 thrill giving shotmaker ever !!
Remember that commercial where the man ends his bedtime prayer saying, Oh, and please let Phil win a major.
Phil is my spirit animal.
Between Phil and JD golf is so much fun to watch
His short game was unmatched, superior.
45 has to be my favorite
Chipping off the green in a hailstorm and making it. At worst that’s a top 10 shot.
Love the video. Thanks PGA! ;)
After last weekends PGA Championship you need to add one more shot to this list!! Great chip-in at #5 during the final round. Perfect shot at the perfect moment!
12:08 watch each persons reaction brilliant
you can pick literally any person in the crowd and they all go bananas. just replayed it 20+ times and watched a different person every time hahahahaha
The Person rolling down the hill...
For people who don't play golf they probably think this is amazing, those who do play realize it is just magnificent like an artist.
20+ years of pro golf and the announcers still be like “this is going to be a difficult par for Phil” …. Phil makes birdie!
A bunch of these shots were at TPC Boston for the Dutcheu Bank Championship, I got every year because it’s 20min away from where I live, unfortunately never saw any of these shots live
On some of these I just literally started cracking up out loud.
9 is insane hits the stick on the way by, then pulls the string into the cup.
Phil the Thrill for a reason
the short game is insane
I know he missed the putt, but that shot in 2010 from the pine grass on 13 was sublime.
Looks like we need to add a couple to the list.
Congratulations on winning the 2021 PGA Championship
No need. This channel has no use of majors.
Number 7 should be in the top 3 that is very difficult to pull off just to get it on the green but he also made that shot
I would have liked to see Mickelson using a Taylor driver, all clubs Callaway except for big stick. I am sure he would have had a lot less runner ups. What a thrill to see him play.
Love Phil M.!
Phil's the man.
#38 @ 4:17 is one of the best shots I've ever seen.
With Tiger, you expect perfection on every shot...with Phil, you expect him to make a mistake and put miracles on the next shot
1:44 wow
This was cool! Number one should have been the one where he hit the flag stick and still manage to roll it back in the cup 😮
I always liked, rooted for, and always knew Phil was a shot maker, but idk he was a chain breaker!!! Whoa
What an artist
shot number 21 is crazy cool ! 😎👍👏
#30 is incredible!! 2 amazing shots
