Phil, can you please explain the gorilla video?
The question was posed Friday to Phil Mickelson after the first round of the LIV Golf event at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Mickelson’s bizarre cameo in a welcome video for new LIV commentator David Feherty went viral as the 52-year-old appeared masked and in front of a group of gorillas.
Details, however, were scarce at the time, which prompted the otherwise random inquiry from the reporter.
Mickelson went on to explain that he and his wife, Amy, had booked a trip to Africa eight months ago for Amy’s 50th birthday, which was in May.
