Phil Mickelson finished runner-up in the 2023 Masters on Sunday, just behind Jon Rahm. Phil created several records while doing so. First, he carded the lowest total by any player above 50 years of age in Masters history. He also became the oldest runner-up at The Masters.
With a second-place finish at Augusta National, Mickelson became the all-time highest earner at The Masters, dethroning Tiger Woods from the top. He received $1,584,000 for a T2 finish aggregating his total earnings at $9,773,317 in 30 starts.
Tiger would have held the record if he had played on Sunday, but as he withdrew mid-tournament he didn't receive a check despite making a cut for the record 23rd time.
