American professional golfer Philip Alfred Mickelson was born on June 16, 1970, in San Diego, California. Mickelson reached a career-high world ranking of No. 2 in February 2001 and over three decades, he has spent 25 years in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). He began his professional career in 1992 and has won 57 professional titles, 45 of which have come on the PGA Tour, by February 2025.

Mickelson was born right-handed but is recognized for his left-handed stroke, which earned him the nickname "lefty." In 2022, he joined LIV Golf and, as of February 2025, plays for the HyFlyers GC. He won the 2021 PGA Championship at the age of 50, making him the oldest golfer to win a championship. He also won the 2021 Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the season-ending event for the PGA Tour Champions. Further, his most notable wins include six major titles, including the 2004, 2006, and 2010 Masters Tournaments, the 2005 and 2021 PGA Championships, and the 2013 Open Championship.
