“Phil is the most knowledgeable man when it comes to wedging and hitting around the greens,” said 2x US Open winner. After joining LIV Golf, Lefty still manages to have a putting average of 1.61 and ranks in the top 50, so there is no doubt that. However, despite being incredibly talented, it is Tiger Woods who has shaped his game plan.
“Tiger is the one that’s taught me a lot really yeah he’s taught me so much about putting shot shaping controlling distances and um just different little tidbits of information,” he added. Tiger Woods might not be ranked on the list because of his absence from the field, yet he still boasts a driving accuracy of 68.83%, not to forget a GIR of 49.49%. Additionally, he used to be one of the longest hitters on the Tour once upon a time and had an iron game that no one else could beat.
“He’s trying to gather from information and a lot of it’s in his hands so I took a lot of what he said about dude it’s all in your hands you’ve got to feel the golf club and sense the golf club being a technician somebody that loves to be perfectly on the plane and everything”, added DeChambeau.
Phil Mickelson says Bryson DeChambeau has perfected Tiger Woods’s iron game
In a YouTube video with Grant Horvat, Phil Mickelson while talking about the importance of long iron hits, complimented Tiger Woods’s iron game. He said That’s why Tiger was so great at him because he had the speed to get that ball so high and come in vertical that right he could get ball stopped on some of these greens that others just couldn’t”.
