to all the mickelson haters out there,

screw off, seriously

all uguys are just jealous that he is intelligent, a top 10 best golfer of all time, and that he has a beautiful wife with all the money in the world

mickelson is one of the rare classy guys out there

he gives money and time to people who need

and is a family man

unlike the revered tiger woods

from someone who has been through this exxon/mobil academy....thanks phil and amy! it was amazing and made me a better teacher.

I know Phil and Amy well, 'cause not only is he my neighbor, but my current golf instructor coached Phil while he was in High school, and I have hung out with Phil and Amy a lot over the years and they both are very intelligent people, and very generous and caring, when my irons were stolen about a year ago around the time of my 20th birthday (bummer I know), Phil got me a set of brand mew X-22 Tour irons for my birthday, but besides that, they are a major part in making golf where it is now

Way to go Phil and Amy

[poopies474]

I hope mickelson is a democrat

[bluetiege]

Both Mickelson and Tiger have done amazing things to better todays society through their charitable organizations and foundations. If you deny this fact you are either lost and confused yourself or you are intentionally ignorant of the truth.

Name one other golfer that has used his fame and fortune to better not only the sport of golf, but society, awareness, humanity, and family. If someone says Tiger, they're lost and confused. Phil should be recognized as sportsman of the year at some point in his career.

Mr. Mikelson. You are the man! I have so much admiration and respect for you. You will always be my favorite golfer out there. More than winning on the golf course, you have won the love and respect of people. Thank you for what you have done for this fan.

[rhinobasket]

I am very impressed by this presentation, and I AM an educator. However, I am not impressed by some of the comments that appear here and wonder why some folks need to be so mean and nasty.
