Phil Mickelson drops underrated Netflix crime drama recommendation, urges fans to visit Mexican eatery where it was filmed

Phil Mickelson is no stranger to letting fans in on his life off the golf course. In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), he gave his fans and fellow golf enthusiasts a Netflix recommendation for the weekend.

The LIV Golf star stated that Netflix's most recently added show, Animal Kingdom, is an underrated crime drama. The series was originally aired on TNT from 2016 to 2022.

Mickelson mentioned that while watching the show, he realised that many of the scenes were shot in Oceanside, California. Recognizing the location, the 55-year-old shared that the pier is where one of his favorite restaurants is located.

Here's a look at what the former PGA Tour star had to say about his latest Netflix favorite (via X @PhilMickelson):

"There’s a great show that’s new to Netflix but has been around awhile called Animal Kingdom. It was shot in Oceanside and many scenes by the pier are where one of the best restaurants is located. Valle is an authentic Mexican restaurant with many ingredients and wines from Valle de Guadalupe. Both are worth checking out."
