Philip Alfred Mickelson (born June 16, 1970), nicknamed Lefty, is an American professional golfer. He has won 42 events on the PGA Tour, including five major championships: three Masters titles (2004, 2006, 2010), a PGA Championship (2005), and an Open Championship (2013).
Mickelson is one of 16 golfers in the history of the sport to win at least three of the four majors. He has won every major except the U.S. Open, where he has finished runner-up a record six times.
Mickelson has spent over 700 weeks in the top-10 of the Official World Golf Ranking, has reached a career-high world ranking of No.2 several times and is a life member of the PGA Tour. Mickelson is known for his left-handed swing, even though he is otherwise right-handed. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in May 2012.
Mickelson was born in San Diego, California, to parents Philip Mickelson (an airline pilot and former naval aviator) and Mary Mickelson (née Santos); he was raised there and in Scottsdale, Arizona. Although otherwise right-handed, he played golf left-handed, as he learned by watching his right-handed father swing and by mirroring his style. Mickelson began golf under his father's instruction before starting school. Phil Sr.'s work schedule as a commercial pilot allowed them to play together several times a week, and young Phil honed his creative short game in an extensive practice area in their San Diego backyard. Mickelson graduated from the University of San Diego High School in 1988.
