$300M-worth LIV Golfer defends homeowner who shot three burglars in Oklahoma

LIV Golf star Phil Mickelson has come out in defense of a homeowner who shot three burglars in Oklahoma a few years ago. In a witty response, he supported the homeowner's actions as self-defense.

Mickelson, a 45-time PGA Tour winner, including six major championships, now plays on the LIV Golf Circuit. Besides being a fierce golfer on the course, he is also known for his unapologetic opinions on social media platforms.

On Friday, December 13, a user named Proud Elephant on X shared old news about an Oklahoma resident shooting three teenagers who broke into his house.

"Three Oklahoma teens were killed after breaking into a house and being greeted by the homeowner's son and an AR-15. After their untimely demise, one suspect's grandfather spoke out in anger, saying that AR-15 made the fight “unfair” for the burglars. Your thoughts? 🤔," he wrote.

The $300 million LIV Golf star gave a cheeky response.

"There’s no fight to be deemed 'unfair' if they didn’t illegally break into the house. 🤷‍♂️," he replied.

In this incident, Jacob Redfearn (17 years old), Maxwell Cook (19 years old), and Jake Woodruff (16 years old) were shot and killed, while the then-21-year-old Elizabeth Rodriguez, who was the getaway driver, was not injured. However, she was later charged with one count of first-degree burglary, one count of second-degree burglary, and three counts of first-degree murder.

"This is a role model" - $300 million LIV Golf star hails Daniel Penny after his acquittal from the murder trial

Following Daniel Penny's acquittal in subway rider Jordan Neely's death, Phil Mickelson hailed him as a hero.

"This is a role model," he wrote. "Neither he nor Jordan Williams asked to be in their positions but both stepped up to protect themselves and the other passengers from deranged individuals threatening to harm and kill them. Thank you both 👍👍"

For the uninitiated, Penny choked Jordan Neely to death on a Manhattan F train in New York City last year after Neely allegedly threatened passengers. The Marine veteran held him in a chokehold for six minutes until the police arrived.

This led to a divided opinion among the general public. While many human rights activists accused Penny of being a vigilante, others supported him, calling his actions heroic and arguing that he should be acquitted. Mickelson was also among those who openly called for Penny's acquittal.
