Phil Mickelson drops a 3-word reaction as a fan claims the 55-YO brought about a change in his life

Phil Mickelson’s new golf tutorial has quickly become a hit among fans. The 55-year-old shared an hour-long video titled “The Art of Chipping with Phil Mickelson” on his HyFlyers YouTube channel, where he broke down his chipping technique step by step.

Mickelson recommends starting with a few basic setup tweaks: placing the ball forward in the stance, keeping 65% of the weight on the front foot, using a high-lofted wedge, and setting the clubface open. Once set, Mickelson explains his feel for a flop shot, saying:

"When I'm hitting a flop shot, I'm basically just trying to drive the club into the ground. I'm going to lay that club flat, and feel like I'm trying to drive the back of the toe into the ground.”

The video has already gained over 488,000 views, with many praising Mickelson’s easy-to-follow tips. One fan took to X to thank Lefty, writing:

"@PhilMickelson youtube golf tutorial actually changed my chipping game so fast😂😂 Truly incredible."

Mickelson noticed the tweet and responded to it with a simple three-word message:

"Glad it’s helping."

The six-time major winner is currently in Andalucía, Spain, playing his ninth event of the 2025 LIV Golf season.
