The legendary Phil Mickelson also known as 'Lefty' is one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game. Mickelson has been able to win a total of 43 PGA Tour events including five major championships; three Masters titles, a PGA Championship, and an Open Championship. Phil recently beat another legendary golfer in a one-on-one showdown against Tiger Woods. Also, it just so happens he has good taste in football teams as well as he's the Los Angeles Chargers' most famous celebrity fan.
We know... The Chargers have never won a Super Bowl in their history but they appear to have the tools to win it all year in and year out, led by the fiery Philip Rivers. The Chargers were on the verge of making an appearance in this year's AFC Championship game but fell to the likes of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots who are recurring AFC Championship game material. One day the Chargers will make it over the hump and we're sure Phil Mickelson will be there to root them on.
