The Phil Mickelson news cycle keeps churning, with the latest revelation centered on $40 million in gambling losses.
Alan Shipnuck, author of the forthcoming Mickelson biography, “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf’s Most Colorful Superstar,” revealed that and more Thursday on the Fire Pit Collective.
Shipnuck’s book will be released May 17, the Tuesday of PGA Championship week.
The bulk of the latest reveal peels back the curtain on Mickelson’s prolific gambling losses, an interesting part has to do with Charles Barkley.
As Shipnuck writes, Barkley is one of the few people in the inner circles of both Mickelson and Tiger Woods:
“One of the reasons Phil has lasted so long is because he’s had a joyful life,” said Barkley.
