Phil Mickelson has been a controversial figure in the golf scene since joining LIV Golf. While some consider him a legend of the sport, many believe that by joining LIV Golf, Mickelson has erased the mark he left on the world of golf. Either way, no one can deny the achievements that 'Lefty' has made.
His personality, which is specific and unique, provokes an avalanche of reactions, which is why fans enjoy hearing the opinions of his colleagues, and finding out what Phil is really like off-camera.
Kevin Na, a former PGA Tour player and now Mickelson's colleague, had only words of praise for the icon of the sport, saying that Phil is always open to others, ready to give concrete advice.
Yeah, I have seen skinny Phil, fat Phil, gambling Phil, drinking Phil!

He has been nothing but great to me. The first time I played with him, I was 21 years old. We played in the final group at the Phoenix Open. He ended up winning the tournament and I finished second and he has been nothing but great.
You can always go to him and ask for any advice, whether its golf game or life. Anything you want. He would give you his time and his sincerity. He has been nothing but great."- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.
Openness to help
Kevin Na is not the only person who has spoken about Mickelson's willingness to help; there are many who have shared the same narratives.
In addition to being a person who is open to others, he is also a true leader, and a man whose experience plays an important role on the controversial Tour.
