Phil Mickelson has kept quiet since his sudden downfall and departure from golf earlier this year.
According to his mom, however, Mickelson is “in such a good place.”
Mary Mickelson spoke to USA Today’s Josh Peter this week about her son since his controversial comments about the Saudi Arabia-backed golf league and his move to step away from the sport completely. He was supposed to defend his title at this week’s PGA Championship, too, but he dropped out on Friday.
While it’s been a tumultuous time for Mickelson, to say the least, Mary said he’s now as happy as he’s been in years.
