Phil Mickelson showed the golf world he still has it during a LIV Golf tournament on Sunday.
Mickelson was on the 17th hole at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia on Sunday when he was attempting a shot from the rough. He stood in the bunker and swung his club, trying to hit it over himself to get onto the green – at the very least.

The ball traveled onto the green and kept rolling until it dropped into the cup.
“That is unbelievable,” the broadcaster said as Mickelson raised his arms in delight.
It was one of the best shots of the 2025 season in LIV Golf. Mickelson was 12-under par and in seventh when he nailed the shot. He finished 13-under for the tournament and tied for fourth place with Thomas Pieters, Bryson DeChambeau and Bubba Watson.
