Phil Mickelson stuns with an incredible shot at a LIV Golf tournament in Virginia, finishing tied for fourth in a thrilling event.

Phil Mickelson reminded us all why he’s a legend in the golfing world with a jaw-dropping shot during a LIV Golf tournament in Virginia on Sunday. Playing at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Mickelson found himself in a tricky spot on the 17th hole, stuck in the rough with a bunker complicating matters. Undeterred, he took a daring swing, aiming to loft the ball over himself and onto the green.

What happened next was pure magic. The ball not only landed on the green but rolled straight into the cup, leaving spectators and broadcasters alike in awe. "That is unbelievable," the announcer exclaimed, as Mickelson celebrated with arms raised high. It’s easily one of the standout shots of the 2025 LIV Golf season.

At that moment, Mickelson was 12-under par, sitting in seventh place. He finished the tournament at 13-under, tying for fourth alongside Thomas Pieters, Bryson DeChambeau, and Bubba Watson. While his team, HyFlyers GC, which he captains, placed eighth, Mickelson’s individual performance was the talk of the day.

The tournament was ultimately claimed by Joaquin Niemann, who finished at 15-under par, securing his fourth win of the season. Niemann now holds a strong lead in the championship standings, with DeChambeau hot on his heels. Mickelson, despite missing the season’s first event, sits at a respectable 11th overall, with strong finishes in Hong Kong and Miami adding to his Virginia result.

Mickelson’s flair on the course is a reminder that age is just a number when you’ve got talent and grit. Golf fans can’t wait to see what he pulls off next.

Phil Mickelson just turned the 17th hole into his personal magic show—making a shot from the rough look easier than my morning coffee order. If golf had an Oscar for drama, he’d be clutching it right now. But seriously, is there a bunker out there that can actually stop this guy, or are they just part of his highlight reel?
