Phil Mickelson is recognized as one of the greatest golfers to have graced the course. He became a professional golfer in 1992 following a successful amateur career, and has gone on to win many of the most prestigious titles in the sport.
Mickelson was in top form in 2006, winning the first major of the year, the Masters, for the second time in his career. After winning the tournament at Augusta National, Mickelson spoke to CBS 8 San Diego about a backup career option.
Lefty declared that had things not worked out for him as a professional golfer, he would have an attorney or a doctor. Mickelson shared:
"If I didn't play golf, I would love to be an attorney. I'd love to go to law school. I wouldn't mind going to medical school, although I don't know how good a doctor I'd be. But I'd like to look at one of those." [H/T: 00:30]

In the same interview, Mickelson was also asked who would win a game of golf if he were to play right-handed and Tiger Woods were to play left-handed. While this question would undoubtedly spark arguments among fans, Mickelson had a strong opinion. He stated:
"I don't know. I've never seen him hit it left-handed. And I am far below average right-handed. So he might, although I haven't seen him, it would be tough for me to say that I would win that."
Phil Mickelson was also asked if he could play a round of golf with any person in history, who it would be. His answer was golf legends Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones.
