Six-time major champion Phil Mickelson is now heading to the next LIV Golf event, which will take place at the Greenbrier, starting August 4. The American golfer has been preparing to enhance his golfing skills ahead of the start of the event. He recently gave an update on his new golf gear.

Mickelson practiced a few rounds of golf using Callaway's new irons and played three rounds with crazy lows of 67, 64, and 63, equating to an average of 65.25.

Callaway Golf has updated its Twitter account about its new Apex Irons, writing:

"The New MBs and CBS. Beauties."

Mickelson chimed in the comments section to appreciate the Irons, saying:

"They are awesome. Got them last week and immediately put them in the bag. Sound, feel, performance are all amazing."

A user then questioned the performance of the gear, to which the LIV golfer replied:

"First 4 rounds with them: 67 Del Mar cc, 64 farms, 67 La Jolla cc, 63 farms. I'd say they're performing well."

Phil Mickelson last struggled with his performance at The Open Championship in Hoylake, where he missed the cut. But his new Callaway Apex Irons might help him bounce back in the game at the upcoming LIV Golf event.

The 53-year-old has participated in nine competitions on LIV Golf in the year 2023. However, he did not make a single top-10 finish. Mickelson's best was observed at the Singapore event, where he finished in 15th place.
