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 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 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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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
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!
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
i'm not a fan of phil, he did some awesome shots and also some bad shots, but i admire his courage to do those crazy shots in a tournaments and how big of an artist he is in this sport. go Phil!!!
I'm surprised Bones doesn't look like he's 90 after all the spots he had to watch Phil hit shots from. Can you imagine the Rollercoaster of emotions every round?
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.
My favorite is his 3rd shot on 15 at Augusta after eagles at 13 and 14. Had to lay up and still nearly jarred it for 3 eags in a row. Was very dramatic live
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
Not a word or video about what I consider his best and most stressful shot. The masters out of the pine straw. He was in a bad spot (in my eyes) in the lead and goes for the green. Knocks it to 5 feet and just the most amazing shot. I'm curious if Masters has a copyright on that video.
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
No he doesn't.
Phil Mickelson is the ultimate "play it where it lies" guy
That’s incredibly true
how it should be
No question
Yup
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.
Like McCord said, "The worse it gets the better he gets"
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
Watching Phil the Thrill and Tiger in their prime was a special time for golfing fans!!!
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
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....
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.
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.
Who doesn't love Lefty. He surprised me every time I watched him try a crazy shot
Love Phil Mickelson videos, absolute legend
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.
Long life Phil. You have given us so much.
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
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?
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.
A truly gifted player and a class act every time! Love watching him play!
I agree. Phil, Rory, and Duval are my favorites
The reason for fan favorite...
He has a beautiful smile
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.
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
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
I love the calm handshake reaction to amazing shots at the ryder cups. Just great .
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.

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.
Bro I haven't even hit 50 good shots in my life what the heck
He makes me feel better. I'm constantly hitting from different obstacles as well.
the greatest wedge player to ever play on tour.
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.

I 💕Phil Michelson! As a newbie and high handicapper he is an inspiration!
One of my all time favourite golfers, legend
Probably the best short game golfer you'll ever see. Incredible.
Phil's the best at recovery shots, coz he really has to be to stay in contention. He's a legend!
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!
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.

You got to love the guy , a real person who loves life
This video is part of my pre-round warm up. I believe in watching people do things perfectly to prepare for battle.
16 people gave this a thumbs down?
They must not like golf, sports in general, pure skill,.... or life
Even non-golfers love Phil !
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.
4:17 #38 is LITERALLY one of the best golf shots I have EVER seen.
The gentleman of the game and a nice guy with it, always has time for his fans
Thank god you used this amazing background music
A True People's Champion - Phil Mickelson!
One of my favorite players of all. Phil..
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.
This man is a legend. Wow 👏
It's a pleasure watching him play.
"Phil the thrill"...I tip my hat 🎩
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!
He is a living legend
Phil understood early that ⛳ is a spectator sport and pure entertainment which he has perfected.
This man has magic in his hands.
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!
The human highlight reel of golf.
Between Phil and JD golf is so much fun to watch
Almost a 20 min long video from pga, YES
Could watch him all day
They'll never be another Phil.
Phil Mickelson must have the most Chip-Ins on the PGA Tour.
Love the video. Thanks PGA! ;)
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
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.
With all due respect to TIGER as the best complete golfing champion of all time, PHIL is the #1 thrill giving shotmaker ever !!
No one:
Literally no one:
The Commentator: If anyone's gonna do it, it's Phil
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.
Phil is my spirit animal.
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!
Phil the Thrill for a reason
One of my favorite moments is at 46, I remember seeing that live and laughing when I heard it.
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 guy at the end who jumps into the pond after Phil's win is my spirit animal.
shot number 21 is crazy cool ! 😎👍👏
His short game was unmatched, superior.
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 😮
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...
His short game is just incredible
45 has to be my favorite
Chipping off the green in a hailstorm and making it. At worst that’s a top 10 shot.
Happy new year for all partners golf in the Word from Bogotá Carlos Leon
i'm not a fan of phil, he did some awesome shots and also some bad shots, but i admire his courage to do those crazy shots in a tournaments and how big of an artist he is in this sport. go Phil!!!
I was at the #1 shot at Colonial 30 40 feet from him. Great shot
#30 is incredible!! 2 amazing shots
17:15, that dude just yeeted into the pond
lol
I always liked, rooted for, and always knew Phil was a shot maker, but idk he was a chain breaker!!! Whoa
I'm surprised Bones doesn't look like he's 90 after all the spots he had to watch Phil hit shots from. Can you imagine the Rollercoaster of emotions every round?
Love Phil the thrill the American seve outstanding entertainment 👏
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
20+ years of pro golf and the announcers still be like “this is going to be a difficult par for Phil” …. Phil makes birdie!
Wonderful
'Oh ye of little faith." -Phil's family motto
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.
My favorite is his 3rd shot on 15 at Augusta after eagles at 13 and 14. Had to lay up and still nearly jarred it for 3 eags in a row. Was very dramatic live
9 is insane hits the stick on the way by, then pulls the string into the cup.
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
Love you, Phil! Happy Birthday!
I know he missed the putt, but that shot in 2010 from the pine grass on 13 was sublime.
What an awesome compilation. Love watching him play, and Bubba W.
Not a word or video about what I consider his best and most stressful shot. The masters out of the pine straw. He was in a bad spot (in my eyes) in the lead and goes for the green. Knocks it to 5 feet and just the most amazing shot. I'm curious if Masters has a copyright on that video.
Yeah they don't have rights to clips from Majors
