In 2005, Phil Mickelson opened up about his "grip it and rip it" philosophy on the greens. The American golfer has established himself as one of the most successful players in the world, winning 57 professional tournaments, including six Majors since his professional debut in 1992. He won his first Major in 2004 at the Masters.
In a 2005 interview, Mickelson discussed his "grip it and rip it" philosophy on the greens. The American golfer shared insights into his game and how he approaches shots on the course. The 54-year-old also addressed whether hitting fairways was overrated. He said:
"No, it's certainly important. Don't get me wrong. It's not overrated, but I think distance is underrated right now. I think that you've got to move the ball out there."
