Phil Mickelson is considered to be one of golf's most skilled players. Several fans, players, and golf enthusiasts alike agree that he is a short game guru. Known for his golf lessons, the LIV Golf star had the opportunity to impart some wisdom on an American quarterback.

The NFL's Josh Allen had played a round of golf with Phil Mickelson, Grant Horvat, and Jon Rahm. While it was for a YouTube video, Josh Allen was able to make the most out of the situation and learn from few of the best in the business.

Here's what the Buffalo Bills quarterback, who is worth $70 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, had to say about his lessons with the HyFlyers GC captain (via Instagram @livgolf_league):

"Putting. Putting was a big improvement in my game. Phil Mickelson. I got to play with him and Jon Rahm early, like in March or April. It was me and Jon versus Phil and Grant on their YouTube channel. And Phil gave me a little putting lesson. And ever since he game me that, I've been rolling the rock pretty good."

Here's a look at the interview which was shared by LIV Golf (via Instagram @livgolf_league):

The moderators of the interview got curious about how one small lesson made such a big impact on Josh Allen's putting game. They proceeded to ask him what tips or techniques he had learnt.

However, Josh Allen replied by stating that Phil Mickelson had sworn him to secrecy and entrusted him to not share his deep insights into the putting stroke with the rest of the world.
