Alivy golf star Phil Mickelson has once again made headlines. This time not for his performance on the course, but for his outspoken political stance. The 55-year-old, known for never shying away from controversy, has directly challenged California Governor Gavin Newsome to a debate after the prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidate criticized President Donald Trump’s new energy policy. Mickelson, a California native and six-time major champion, has been increasingly vocal on political and social issues in recent months. His latest comments came in the wake of the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah college campus, a shocking event that Mickelson openly addressed while sharing his views on America’s political climate. But now his focus has shifted squarely onto Nuome. After the governor blasted Trump’s energy policy, which includes slashing billions of dollars in funding for hydrogen projects in California and the Pacific Northwest, Mickelson issued a bold response that Nuome’s sharp criticism of the Trump administration included the claim that America’s energy policy was being sold to the highest bidder, declaring that in Trump’s America, economics and common sense be damned. He vowed that California would continue to pursue an all of the- above clean energy strategy regardless of federal push back. Mickelson, however, was quick to fire back. Taking to social media, he issued a public challenge. If you would like to have a town hall meeting with me to discuss Sable Offshore, I will meet you anytime and any place. Let’s discuss this openly so the public knows the facts. I called your office yesterday and left my number with your assistant. The golfer’s direct call out to the governor sparked immediate reaction with many questioning whether the debate would ever take place. Despite diving in a heated political waters, Mickelson hasn’t lost sight of the sport that made him a household name. While the Rder Cup played out, the American legend kept a close eye on the action from afar. Mickelson remains the record holder for the most Rder Cup appearances for the United States, having competed in 12 consecutive tournaments from 1995 to 2018. And although team USA mounted a spirited comeback attempt, they ultimately fell short, losing 15 to13 to Europe at Beth Paige Black. Europe’s second straight Rder Cup victory following their win in Rome two years earlier. Still, Mikkelson offered words of encouragement to the squad, praising Captain Keegan Bradley and the entire team for their fight and resilience. Team USA gave one of the most incredible and inspiring Sunday performances. Amy, and I want to send our best to Captain Keegan and the rest of the team who played every shot with so much heart and represented the United States so well. Go USA. He even tipped his hat to the victors, adding, “And of course, congratulations to team Europe on another incredible win.” Away from Rder Cup talk, Mickelson’s Elivy golf journey continues. While he has yet to secure an individual victory on the Saudi Back Circuit, his presence remains one of the league’s biggest draws. His best finish to date came at Elivy Golf Hong Kong, where he placed third, proving he can still contend at the highest level. Even without lifting a trophy, Mickelson’s influence, whether in golf, politics, or public debate, remains undeniable. And if Governor Nuome takes him up on his offer, the sixtime major winner may soon find himself in the middle of a very different kind of showdown.
