Phil Mickelson shares $45M star’s show clip to send strong 4th of July message: “How about we start living in reality”

Phil Mickelson shared a special message to CCC on the occasion of July 4th. He posted a clip from Billy Bob Thornton's popular show, Landman, highlighting how windmills aren't necessarily cleaner alternatives.

Mickelson, a 45-time PGA Tour winner, was last seen competing at LIV Golf Dallas last week. Beyond golf, he has been quite active on social media and hasn't shied away from expressing his opinions.

On Friday, July 4, Mickelson shared the Landman clip, in which the show's $45 million-worth star (as per Celebrity Net Worth) explains how wind turbines aren't clean energy alternatives, and are owned by oil companies.

"Happy 4th everyone," he wrote on X. "How about we start living in REALITY, not just what sounds good, and get our head out of LaLa Fantasyland 🤦‍♂️ 👍👍 🇺🇸 $SOC #Linda Krop #Laura Capps #GovGavinNewsome"
