Phil mikkelson is one of the most hated pro golfers in the world but if you think that this hate is even the slightest bit exaggerated then get ready because we are going to go over some of mikkelson’s worst offenses both on and off the course and by the end of this

Video you’re going to hate him as much as we do so strap in and remember to subscribe to help support the channel to start Phil Mickelson is a notorious cheater he’s been caught so many times that he doesn’t even care anymore in 2018 he hit a still moving

Ball before it could roll off the green he took the penalty saying it would have been better than letting it roll it’s uh my understanding of the rules I I’ve had multiple times where uh I’ve wanted to do that I just finally did but is that what you want to turn

Golf into a sport where you can intentionally break the rules for your benefit it just goes against the Integrity of the game but that’s nothing compared to 2010 at the Farmers Insurance Open When nichelson was was called out by fellow player Scott McCarron Scott claimed that mikkelson was using wedges with square grooves

Which in case you didn’t know are banned in the PGA for giving an unfair Advantage but mikkelson was exploiting a loophole because of a lawsuit ruling the USGA could only ban players from using Square groved wedges made after April 1st 1990 Lefty argued that because his

Club was made before that date he could technically use it he wasn’t wrong but he was still still trying to get away with using a club with a feature that was banned mikkelson even tried to downplay the situation claiming he was just playing smart which is an interesting way to say tactical cheating

But don’t worry mikkelson eventually stopped using his Square grooved Club but only after receiving a wave of backlash from the fans but maybe cheating at the sport of his profession wasn’t bad enough maybe we should also bring up the time that Phil mikkelson allegedly committed a federal crime in May of 2014

Lefty was put under an FBI investigation because they believed that he had committed insider trading as the claim goes Phil was told business decisions that were going on inside Clorox and Dean food all so that he could use that knowledge to know the exact timings to invest to guarantee earnings melson

Denied the allegations done absolutely nothing wrong that’s why I’ve been fully cooperating but the investigations were starting to get serious so the golfer decided to settle with the FBI the investigation was dropped and all mikkelson had to do was pay them $1 million plus all the profits that he

Earned from the alleged insider trading that’s a hefty sum to pay if mikkelson was as innocent as he claimed but we’ll let you be the judge of that one swinging on back over to the golf course there was the time mikkelson’s old friend Billy Walters said mikkelson destroyed the Integrity of golf by

Placing bets on a tournament he was a part of it’s common knowledge that Phil has a gambling problem Walters actually wrote about this in his book Gambler in his new book he goes into detail about his career and his system for sports wagering most of the attention around

His story now focuses on his allegations about mikkelson Walters describes the full extent of Phil mikkelson’s addiction he claims mikkelson regularly gambled away hundreds of thousands of dollars a day and once placed 43 bets on Major League Baseball games in a single day according to Billy Walters mikkelson

Had bet over $1 billion in his life which were largely made up of reinvestments from past bets that he won the PGA does frown upon excessive gambling but it isn’t technically breaking the rules which just so happened to be Phil’s favorite words to hear you know take advantage of the

Rules as best as best as you can it is only a violation of the rules when players start betting on PGA games and wouldn’t you know Walters also said that mikkelson bet $400,000 on the 202 12 Rider cup which Lefty competed in we only have walters’s

Words to go by but if this is true this would be a massive conflict of interest considering mikkelson’s gambling problem as well as his tendency to bend the rules in his favor we’re going to say this story is at least believable now maybe you got this far into the video

And you’re still a believer in Phil Mickelson maybe none of these things justify him getting as much hate as he’s gotten in his career and for that we’ll first say thanks for sticking around this long but second we think that’ll change when you learn that he admitted he was okay with human rights

Violations in 2021 Liv golf was founded to be a competitor to the PGA with the name being Roman numerals for 54 the score you’d get if you got a birdie on every hole in a par 72 course fans have strong opinions about this tournament but one of the biggest controversies is

That the league is backed by Saudi Arabia critics say the nation is using Sports as a way to improve their Public Image now we understand that people want to stay out of politics and enjoy their beloved game that’s all good and fine but the problem is that mikkelson said

In an interview that he was aware of the human rights violations admitted they were terrible but still said he was okay with it and I believe that live golf is going to do a lot of good for the game to quote him the Saudis are scary to get

Involved with we know they killed Hashi they have a horrible record on human rights they execute people for being gay knowing all of this why would I even consider it because it’s an opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates yeah you heard that right Lefty can excuse everything for the chance that

The PGA will change some of its rules no matter how big of a fan you are you’ve got to admit this is going way too far and everyone else who heard those comments agreed Phil Mickelson faced immense backlash from fans and fellow pros and most of his sponsors dropped

Him as quickly as they could dial his agent there was so much hate that mikkelson decided to skip the players championship and the PGA Masters but if you think the man learned his lesson think again because just a few weeks later he announced he was quitting the

PGA to play exclusively for Liv it’s an arrangement that got Phil a whopping $200 million paycheck I guess a fourth of your net worth is all it takes to sell out mikkelson has worked hard for all the hate he gets but what makes everything he’s done so much worse is

That he’s admittedly a good golfer you a he’s got a six Dee driver guys wow that is some hit that is impressive for birot for get in how about that nobody would care if Phil was a no-name golfer doing all these things but but because he’s talented everything he does becomes more

Frustrating mikkelson will always have fans who support him because he plays well and the PGA has always been more likely to forgive him because he’s one of their top [Applause] athletes remember the PGA didn’t ban Phil for his comments on Saudi Arabia he skipped the events all on his own were

They lenient because he was the reigning champion at the time that’s what it looked like at least did we miss any heinous acts mikkelson has done over the years and what do you think a fitting punishment for him would be I’m thinking drown him in all of his second place trophies but
