Okay, so I was messing around online today, trying to settle a bet with a buddy about Phil Mickelson. We were going back and forth about how many Masters he’s actually won. I thought it was, like, two, maybe three. He was SURE it was more. Time to put this thing to bed.

First, I fired up the old search engine. Just typed in “Phil Mickelson Masters wins,” you know, the basic stuff. And boom – a bunch of results popped up.
Digging Through the Results
- I started clicking through some of the top hits. Mostly sports news sites, his official PGA profile, that kind of thing.
- I saw some conflicting numbers at first! Some articles were a bit older, so they didn’t have the full count. Gotta be careful with those outdated sources.
- Then I found a couple of really solid, reputable sites that listed all his major championship wins, year by year. It became pretty clear.
The Verdict (Drumroll Please…)
Turns out, my buddy was closer, but still not quite right! Phil Mickelson has won the Masters Tournament three times.
- I verified this on at least three different reliable websites, just to be absolutely sure. No way I’m losing this bet based on bad info!
So, there you have it. Three green jackets for Lefty. I’ll have to give my friend some credit, he was closer than I was, but I still nailed down the actual number. Case closed!
