"Phil just blew me off" says Jordan Spieth

During a pre-tournament press conference for the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, Jordan Spieth recalls a time where he thought "Phil just blew me off" when he was a young fan.

[@tmo4330]

I only met Phil once. He took time to give me a golf lesson! Afterwards he invited me into the clubhouse to have a few beers. Then i woke up, put my work boots on, drove to work, punched the time clock, and did 12 hours of production work.

[@InChristalone737]

I took my son to Quail Hollow when Phil was in a tournament. I think he was about 12 years old. When Phil was walking from one green to the next tee my son was excited and cheered Phil as he went by. Phil reached out and gave my son a fist 🤜 bump. He will always be number one in my book.

[@damienkearns3654]

Well, you won't have to worry about going there again, they've lost Wells Fargo, one of the premium events on The PGA TOUR thanks to LIV Golf.

[@JonathanAnon]

Phil was actually rushing away to stop his ball from rolling in to the bunker.

[@jameskresge3459]

JonathanAnon I am guessing you have zero talent when it comes to golf, Phil got frustrated on the golf course and actually did what 99.99% of hackers do every round. Of the US Open just once would set up a course with some common sense that wouldn’t get criticized every damm year

[@lucasgilmore6318]

lmao

[@JonathanAnon]

I have as much talent for golf as you have for understanding jokes

[@alhenro]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stackleft2925]

David Simms , oh I mean Phil Mickelson is always good to the fans, when the cameras on him.

[@lionstigersbearsohmyanimal6741]

I met Phil once good guy strong opinions will help you a lot with your problems.... a great doctor. You can watch him everyday on the dr.Phil show

[@frederickduncan9517]

Was never a big Phil fan until I met him at the Barclays. His caddy gave me his towel which Phil autographed and took a selfie with me. Always heard Phil was a nice guy.

[@toddp.226]

Phil is the BEST. I am fortunate enough to be a member at one of his clubs and have talked to him many times. Phil is the most humble/cool guy in the room, but more humble than cool. He had to be raised by the greatest humans ever. First class guy and talked to me like he was just another member of the club, not like he was PHIL. Most genuine guy you could ever meet and the type of guy that you would pray that your daughter would marry. First class human being, way better human than golfer, by far.

[@Tianton1]

Sam torrence took me up in his arms at the European open in 1994.. He'd probably struggle to do that now. Can remember it so well.

[@JimDorman]

I met Phil at the Memorial when he was just starting out. He signed and took photo. He could not have been nicer.

[@michaelwainscott2633]

I actually interrupted Phil when he was talking to some man (turned out he was a sponsor. I didn't know) and I told him what a big fan I was and asked him to sign my hat. He looked annoyed at first, but then smiled and said, "Well, with the way I've been playing lately, if you're still a big fan, I need to make sure I don't lose you," and signed my hat.

[@juantandoquintololo780]

Woah idc😐😐

[@amelieholbrook3001]

Really? Maybe because you're a white male. He treated me and my Filipino grandmother horribly. Never will I be a Phil fan again, even though we had both bought into his crap. We later found out that he is among the most despised pros due to his obscene arrogance.

[@carpballet]

As a person works their way up the food chain, it’s amazing how their perspective changes.

[@itzoli3429]

Jordan defiantly learnt from this I was at the 2017 masters with my dad and Jordan was waliking last and there was loads of , Kids In the area and he said that he needed to get to the tea and he said he would come back after he had played and he did and signed for 25 kids

[@rustycockering9925]

Calvin Peete gave me a reach-around in the cart barn during a rain delay at the 1983 Schaefer City Classic.

[@GTF85]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@oliedwards700]

2017 masters Jordan came past me and said I’ll come back to sign for you after my round and I waited and he came back and signed for me and people and at the open

[@vincentmichello488]

I followed tiger in a practice round at liberty national and he wouldn’t sign an autograph but I yelled at Jordan a few times and he took a picture with me

[@zacharyradford5552]

To be fair to Tiger for YEARS EVERYONE wanted something with Tiger.

[@patrickkilcoyne3907]

He blew me off at tpc Boston lol

[@donalmooney4695]

As Jordan explained this, you got to love him as well as Phill.

[@Makeveli420]

I got to meet Phil Mickleson at Macgregor Downs when he was in college at Arizona state. Dude is so cool, he showed me his putter which at the time I was mesmerized by "Arnold Palmer" mirror chrome blade. He took pictures with me pulled out a ball he used during the round and signed it for me. I was like 11 years old at the time. I have never forgot that and he will always be my favorite golfer!

[@101wildgoose]

Rory walked past my son at Troon 2016 on the way to the clubhouse. My son was really excited to see him and he didn't even just say hello on the way by. He didn't have to stop, just a nod and hello to make a kids day.

[@timfagan235]

I had the pleasure of meeting Phil at the BMW at Aronimink CC a couple years ago. I had caddied for a buddy in the pro-am and along with a couple other caddies, walked into the clubhouse looking for a cold beer. It was hot that day...really hot. He was in there so I introduced myself (like he cared) and he looked me in the eye, extended his hand, and thanked me for "helping out" that day. Very sincere.

[@RudyB-ti8ye]

Truth is that Phil is damn near as nice as Jordan. Two of the best on tour.

[@jackandbuddy2997]

All he wanted was an autograph and Phil blew him off .... jeez oh thats dedication right there.....hope he done it somewhere private 🤣

[@tjshine8022]

2005 Pebble Beach, practice green before Phil's final round. Phil and Tiger were the last two players. Tiger and Steve left to the 1st Tee and "Bones" went inside the shop to grab some waters. Phil walked over to his bag, about 5 feet from me, looked up and said "Hi, how you doing?" I said "Great, how do you like those Callaway Irons? I'm playing the same ones, but facing the right way." He laughed and said he loves them. I told him "Congrats on your win in Phoenix last week 'Sun Devil'" and he replied "Thanks, did you go to ASU too?" I replied "Yup, couple years before you". This is a multimillionaire who struck up a conversation with me (Mr. Nobody) before he started his final round of Pebble against Tiger Woods. How genuine this man really is! I will always be a Phil Phan!

[@Joeybago12]

You should write novels. ..

[@olestilleagles1242]

Then Phil hit it out of bounds on #1 an said dang kid

[@chriswertz1438]

Phil is the man!!

[@dannylaw7367]

Jordan is the greatest man in golf I think that is just so full of kindness and decency and class. We all wish he gets back to greatest player as well, but if he doesn't....so what....he's all ready a wonderful human being.

[@jersmith1486]

We ran into Phil at the 2009 pga championship on a Wednesday and tried to get an autograph and he said he only signs them on the last day

[@theseeker1237]

It never occurred to me to get a "celebrities" autograph. They don't ask for mine, I don't ask for theirs. Had a few beers with a few. I just pretend I don't recognize them, and that's usually the case, until later, and then it's like, pretty cool.

[@alanrowley9540]

'My dad told him to go get him I think' What on earth is that supposed to mean?

[@renatecox609]

I love Phil. Jordan too.

[@laurenreeve5064]

I was expecting a totally different video judging by the title 😀😂🤣

[@kevinkavanaugh9845]

This is how the media twists things with headlines.

[@chuckgrenci6404]

Yeah, after viewing, and with Jordan's explanation, Phil's response to Jordan years later, I agree: 'click bait'.

[@hanoitwin]

I love Phil

[@arhalimi5883]

This comment made me tear up .. have u gotten Phil's autograph that u wanted Sir Jordan..?

[@plasticsonlybassboss6863]

I can vouch for phil the lefty. At the Riviera heading to a playoff vs keegan Bradley and Bill Haas. He literally gave me a fist bump on the way to the hole. I will never forget that day.

[@bobbygorbett536]

He blew me off at Medinah

[@StephenDoty84]

Phil blew me off, in away. I sent him a cartoon I co-made with a caption about a golfer based on him at the British Open. It was newspaper quality and had a good message he'd agree with, I know. My collaborator was a pro illustrator. I offered it to him with no copyright, but he never even responded.

[@highnrising]

Jim Bouton told a similar story about Alvin Dark, the 1940s-50s MLB shortstop and '60s-'70s manager. He said that when he was a kid, he tried to get Dark's autograph at the Polo Grounds and Dark told him to get lost. When a reporter asked Dark about that he said: "That's a lie. I didn't even know Bouton when he was a kid."

[@jameskresge3459]

There is not a PGA player on tour that has been more gracias with fans then Phil. I have seen him go out of his way to accommodate fans. Rickie Fowler is great too, but the time restraints on these guys is impossible to satisfy all fans

[@jamesdonalds5237]

No kidding. At the WGC in Mexico City in 2018, he was out signing autographs and talking to fans literally up to his tee time....he finally had to tell them "sorry, but I've got to go play. I'll sign after the round" In Spanish. Seems like a really good dude.

[@alanrowley9540]

The word is gracious, not gracias.

[@larsorloff3393]

thanks clickbait - nice way to chop the quote and take it completely out of context

[@cappystrano1]

My thoughts exactly

[@markho170]

I saw him once at the turn at English Turn when they held the New Orleans tournament there. That man took down 12 whole strawberries in one pit stop. Then the smacked that ball like it was nothing.

[@buffalobraves9]

The title of the video should have been "Phil is so genuine with everyone he comes in contact with, doesn't matter who it is". That would have been more honest.

[@amelieholbrook3001]

Hi Phil, nice of you to masquerade as a normal dude.

[@LowCountryMTB]

Would have been funny if Phil would have signed his hat when Jordan told him the story “Here Jordy! I’ll sign your hat for you now .”

[@jeffree6996]

My dad and I were watching the us open at oakmont and my dad yelled "your the man Rocco". I had no idea who Rocco was. I was 10. He picked me up and took me to the practice green and let me hit a couple putts. Turns out my dad grew up with him and played a lot with him at Champion Lakes

[@BobABooey.]

Phil blew me in a park bathroom, not Phill Mickelson, some other guy named Phill.

[@alancarlyon3928]

I have not seen the footage in this debate but am sure Phil was not the villain! He is one of the few that smiled all the way in his round/s and bounds with the gallery, not like some who only see themselves as supper stars!

[@MrAshtute]

Hahaha great story as it's personal for every individual but is usually not done intentionally

[@SuperKatieg93]

I know how he felt, because I did the same thing while they are busy or not I just have fun anyway.

[@MikeB299]

Athletes really should appreciate every single fan out there. But they literally can't sign autographs, or take pictures with everyone. That's impossible.

[@tombryant52jumpscoach]

He should have yelled he had a hot tip at the race track.

[@bradyconnor648]

I thought he blew me off at Zach Johnson's charity event in cedar rapids. Hope he's honest about not blowing kids off. I was also like 11 so I took it kind of hard.

[@decapua]

That’s interesting. I remember seeing Jordan paired with Ian Poulter at the Byron Nelson tournament. They walked within 6 feet from where I was sitting. I wished both of them good luck with the tournament. They looked at me as if I was an ghost, not even responding with a simple thank you. I’ll never forget that moment. Pretty damn disrespectful. So, I can relate, Jordan.

[@alexshadowfax1119]

Every tournament I've been too Phil stays after his round for an hour or two signing stuff for people.

[@jonburrows8602]

Boy, was this headline clickbait or what?

[@donfilkins298]

Did you get his autograph?

[@SN2903]

Phil is a great guy. My dad told him to go get him I think and he said thanks at the Buick Open once. Tiger is much more stoic and less personable.

[@tombain5665]

Phil is absolutely one of the best and most considerate autograph signers. Unfortunately this happened to me by one of the greats on a chipping practice ground and I was the only one there. Maybe he was chipping badly

Great mature reply, Slim. Even as a young man I was keenly aware that these pros are AT WORK and not to take it as a kick in the nads when they appear to not see me. To have the situation be so hurtful as to remember it into adulthood is kind of snowflakey.

[@hurseyfamily6042]

Interesting .. Phil arrogantly blew my brother off 2x at the same Tournament in Hilton Head. Both times my brother was not interrupting anything .. On the second time Tom Watson came over and signed his bag tag. I’ve always told my brother you got a signature from the by far much better man and Professional Golfer.

We might find out truly one day why Phil did what he did gambling in debt we don't know but now I don't care iff I see him again I will not watch live golf ever a loyal PGA DP and other tour follower

[@timothyehrler4325]

Don't get me wrong, I like Jordan. But god damn I simply cannot understand the fascination with the TV folks and covering his pre-shot routine with the caddy there holding the towel out and the minutes long debate; and then he hits a shitty shot followed by the begging to sit or go. Jesus! Just step in and hit it and shut the ef up! Like Dustin does!
