Phil Mickelson Amazes Golf Fans With Barefoot Shot

Phil Mickelson is with the LIV Golf Tour in Indianapolis this week and decided to try something different when his ball hit the water.

Rather than take a one stroke penalty, Mickelson decided to play the ball where it lie. But since it was in a marshy part of the course, Mickelson would have had to risk getting his shoes and pants wet to take the shot.

So Mickelson simply took them off. He planted his left foot in the mud and used his wedge to not only get the ball out of the water, but onto the green to save his hole.

Mickelson's fans loved it

It doesn't get much better than seeing a new way to hit a ball during a round. Mickelson's many fans had all kinds of fun with it on social media:

"We already knew Phil Mickelson can walk on water, now he can chip through it," one user wrote on X.

"Phil may be the best ever at pulling off shots that just look impossible," wrote another.

"Phil is a magician with a wedge," a third remarked.

"King of wedge play, and note: I didn’t see him get one drop of water on himself… truly a magician around the greens ..!!!!"

"Why is Phil always in these difficult situations pulling off miracle shots??"

"Sometimes the worst shots give you the opportunity to make a great one."

2025 was a rough year for Mickelson in the majors. He was cut from the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open and finished outside the top 50 at the Open Championship. It was the first time in his entire career that he was cut from three majors in the same season.
