Phil Mickelson has always been interested in YouTube golf. As a result, he has been spotted praising YouTube golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Grant Horvat all the time.
Take Horvat's 1M YouTube subscribers celebration, for instance, where Lefty joined hands by congratulating the Creator Classic winner in his iconic way—a tweet.
Interestingly, when it comes to Phil Mickelson himself, he is no less. The LIV golfer jumped into the trend by releasing his first YouTube video on July 16th last year on his personal YouTube channel and never looked back.
The video was done in collaboration with social media star Grant Horvat. His first video generated a total of 1.4 million views—the highest till now.

Currently, Lefty has 296K trusted subscribers through just 15 YouTube videos. Indeed, an impressive feat, which positioned Mickelson to make a large decision for his company, For Wellness.
In a recent video with Grant Horvat, where he challenged Josh Allen & John Rahm to an 18-hole 2v2 match, Lefty approached the 25-year-old golf influencer.
"You have been so kind in introducing me to YouTube space and all of your subscribers and teaching me kind of like what this is all about."
"You have been so kind to everybody at For Wellness about using our product and promoting it and so forth. We have been great partners on the course, and I want to be partners off the course. And everybody at For Wellness agrees."
"We are giving you equity in For Wellness to be a partner in the company as a thank you for what you have meant to us."
Horvat could not control his smile, and his instant reply was, "Phil!" Grant paused and exhaled deeply, saying, "Thank you, oh my gosh." Next?
Phil Mickelson just hugged his new partner and expressed, "You are a good, good man, and we really appreciate everything you have done, so thank you."
The post was later shared by the Creator Classic Winner himself as he typed out the caption: "I'm speechless! Thank you @forwellness @philmickelson."
YouTube Golf only continues to grow. LIV Golf has even begun dabbling in golf for social media consumers with the 'The Duels.' Held the week of LIV Golf Miami, the new event posted massive numbers of viewers across platforms.
