WHAT THE STATS SAY
Strengths: Mickelson’s iron play was strong in 2025. He ranked 22nd in the league in Strokes Gained: Approach, gaining an average of .16 strokes per round. He was especially dialed from 150 yards and in, where he ranked 7th in the league (+0.24), demonstrating he’s still one of the best wedge players in the world.
Mickelson’s short game was also solid. He ranked 20th in Strokes Gained: Around the Green and 29th in Strokes Gained: Putting. He ranked T3 in the league in sand saves (62%).
Weaknesses: Mickelson only hit 62% of greens in regulation, which ranked in the bottom third of the league. Considering his iron play was above average, this was mostly due to his off the tee play. While not a glaring weakness, Mickelson was below league average in fairways hit (62%) and driving distance (304.3).

BOTTOM LINE
Mickelson is still a box office attraction if he can find his way in the mix in a few tournaments this year. At this point in his career, every additional tournament, every vintage “Phil” shot, and every Sunday charge is essentially bonus material. Golf is better when he’s relevant, and there’s still enough evidence on the scorecard to suggest we haven’t seen the last of those weekends quite yet.
