Phil Mickelson had once revealed during an interview as to who would win a game of golf between him and Tiger Woods, if the duo played with their non-dominant hands.
Mickelson, popularly known as Lefty, is one of the very few left-handed golfers currently playing. The six-time Major winner was naturally right-handed, however, started playing golf left-handed mirroring his father's swing, who was right-handed.
During an interview in 2006, Mickelson was asked who would win in a round of golf if he played right-handed against Tiger Woods, who would play as a left-hander. Phil Mickelson answered the question quite neutrally, saying:
"I don't know. I've never seen him hit it left handed. And I am far below, below-average right handed."

Mickelson continued:
"So you know he (Tiger Woods) might. Although i haven't seen him, it would be tough for me to say that I would win that."
Mickelson had donned his coveted green jacket after his second Masters win in 2006, where Tiger Woods tied for third.
When he was asked whom he would pick to play a round of golf with among any historical golf figures, Mickelson chose Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones, stating:
"The reason is, I never met those two men and they're very mystical figures to me. I'd love to be able to spend a round of golf with them."
Phil Mickelson won the 2006 Masters Tournament with a seven-under-par score. He also went on to win the Major title again four years later in 2010.
