Legendary golfer Phil Mickelson has emerged from the LIV Hong Kong tournament, swinging back into form and setting his sights on another Masters win. The 54-year-old golfer, recognized as one of the best in the game, has notched yet another successful finish, placing third in the tournament with a score of 14 under. This performance marks his best finish since joining the LIV circuit.
A seasoned veteran in the field, Mickelson has earned nearly every accolade in the game. With three Masters titles under his belt, he is now eyeing the possibility of a fourth. And to those wondering if this is within the realm of possibility for the golfer, Mickelson himself has confirmed that a fourth Masters win is definitely on his radar.
Mickelson’s impressive performance in Hong Kong has refueled his determination and focus towards Augusta National, the venue for the Masters. He candidly shared that he has been fine-tuning his golf techniques, cleaning up various aspects of his game, and training to withstand the pressure that comes with such a prestigious tournament.
“I’ve played well at Adelaide, didn’t putt well. I played well here, cleaned up some things, made some good putts throughout the three days, and then keep cleaning it up, get sharper and sharper and feeling that pressure and excitement coming down the stretch, that only gets me more ready for Augusta. But I need to keep building and keep improving, keep fine tuning,” Mickelson stated.
Mickelson’s history with the Masters is a sterling one. Having debuted at Augusta in 1991 as an amateur, he went on to clinch his first win in 2004. With three wins to his name, he is part of an exclusive club of multiple green jacket holders. Mickelson’s last notable performance at the Masters was in 2023 when he finished in second place.
In the modern golf landscape, where many players rely on sheer strength and power, Mickelson’s extensive knowledge and experience with Augusta’s course could give him an edge. Should he secure another win, it would undoubtedly rank alongside Tiger Woods’ 2019 win as one of the greatest achievements in golf history.
A fourth Masters win is well within Mickelson’s reach. As the golf world watches, the veteran is gearing up for the challenge, fine-tuning his skills, and setting his sights on another green jacket. Only time will tell if Mickelson will indeed make golf history once more at Augusta in 2025.
