In the world of golf, legends Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have sparred on numerous occasions, etching their names in the annals of the sport. Yet, in one remarkable column, Mickelson proudly stands ahead: his tally of hole-in-ones.
Mickelson recently disclosed an astonishing statistic—47 hole-in-ones over his lifetime—doubling the count of his great rival, Tiger Woods. While both icons have engaged in epic battles during their primes, Mickelson’s prowess in sinking aces appears unmatched.
During a recent question and answer session ahead of a breakaway league event in Las Vegas, Mickelson shared insights into his extraordinary achievement. He clarified that while not all 47 aces were in competition, they encompassed casual play and practice sessions.
The six-time major champion’s record stands out, especially when juxtaposed against other golfing greats. Despite transitioning to the LIV Golf setup, Mickelson’s hole-in-one count remains a testament to his skill and precision.
Among his remarkable achievements, Mickelson secured two hole-in-ones at prestigious events: the 1995 Players Championship and the 2001 U.S. Open. Additional aces punctuated his career milestones, including moments at the 1994 Kemper Open, the 1995 Houston Open, and the 2005 84 LUMBER Classic.
Looking ahead to the upcoming event in Las Vegas, Mickelson aims to summon similar magic on the course. Following a challenging season opener in Mexico, where he finished second-bottom, Mickelson seeks redemption, aiming to elevate his performance and lead his HyFlyers team to victory.
Despite setbacks, Mickelson’s legacy remains indelible, his mastery of the game immortalized through 47 hole-in-ones—a feat that even the illustrious Tiger Woods cannot match.
