What do you get for a man who seemingly has everything?
Seriously, Phil Mickelson, who turns 50 on June 16, is a tough guy to buy for. Man’s got three green jackets, a Claret Jug, a Wanamaker Trophy and a plaque in the World Golf Hall of Fame. He has a hefty bank account, all the toys, golf memberships the world over, a mansion being built in southeast Florida.
“Gosh, that’s a good question,” Mickelson told Golfweek when asked what he’s hoping to unwrap. “I really don’t want for anything, materialistically. But I am excited what Amy has planned and appreciative to have her in my life.”
Well, if his wife and their three children need suggestions, Mickelson’s friends in the golf world were eager to tee some up.
